Below is a list of stocks expected to rise in 2013. The valuations are good, the stock prices are low, and some even pay a dividend.
McDonald's (MCD) - McDonald's (MCD) is a stock that is currently trading near a 52 week low. MCD stock recently bounced back to $87 but as we go into 2013, I think you will see this stock head towards $95 by summer. If MCD drops below $80 at all in 2013, the stock becomes a strong buy. Mcdonalds (MCD) currently pays a 3.5% dividend and is one of the best brands in the world. MCD does well during a recession or periods of slow growth.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) - Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) is a high end fast food restaurant that is growing rapidly. While sales have been light of analyst expectations, the stock has been hit hard. I think CMG can see a rebound to at least $350 in 2013. I own CMG in my long term account and pland to buy more if we see a dip below $250. Chipotle is expected to rise in 2013.
Apple (AAPL) - While volatile, Apple (AAPL) stock tends to rise every year. Apple (AAPL) recently saw a sell off of 25% and is now on the rebound. Buy all you can below $580 because this stock is headed to $800 in 2013. Buy AAPL each time it take a big drop, start selling on it's way up through a new all time high.
