Filed under: Stocks to Buy , Best Stocks for 2009 After seven months of one of the strongest rallies in history, the stock market is showing signs of faltering. From here on out through the rest of 2009, I believe the advance will shift gears, and instead of recording new highs every month, the trend will tend to flatten. And as we head into the heart of the fourth quarter, I wouldn’t bet on the market making many more new highs this year.

Filed under: ETF Investing , Commodities , Stocks to Buy , Best Stocks for 2009 The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF ( GDX ) attempts to replicate as closely as possible the price and yield performance of the Amex Gold Miners Index. GDX is in a bull market with both the long-term support line and the 200-day moving average at near $40. Although this is a volatile performer, bouncing 10 points between the high and low of its bull channel, the volatility gives us a second chance to buy this stock at a good price.

Filed under: Stocks to Buy , Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) It goes without saying that the investment strategy advocated here favors integrated oil companies, particularly those with a regional or product advantage. And with the aforementioned in mind, I’m reiterating my buy rating for Petroleo Brasileiro SA ( PBR ), also known as Petrobras, first recommended on April 22, 2009 , at a price of $32.99.
