Stocks had one of the best Decembers in recent years, and the internal and sentiment indicators are now very overbought for the best stock picks. But with an enormous inflow of cash into the system from pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans, and other sources that generally put money to work early in the year, we are unlikely to see a correction before mid-January.
A pullback later in the month would be welcome, though, since it could provide an excellent opportunity to jump on some of our favorite growth and cyclical stocks. The following technical picks represent the best stocks to buy for the month ahead.
