Cherry Picking The Diamonds From The Stock Market

What blue-chip stocks should I buy now with my new CFDs (Contracts for difference) account, and why? Apple?

I should have my live CFD’s account active, with money in it within 2 hours and I am just wondering if its a good idea to buy Apple, Inc and go long with CFD’s on the stock right with all this good news about their iPad? Also, what other stocks could I buy that seem promising to go either long or short? Please, I really need your help as this is going to be my first official stocks investments. Thanks.

So you are new to the investment world and have selected a margin product to trade? You are very brave me says…

I would steer away from hyper-popular stocks like Apple or Google as they are pure sentiment plays and don’t really trade on their P/E. Stick to real companies that produce tangible products that we consume on a daily basis like oil and retail – you are less likely to have nasty surprises there.
