Speculation is good and chasing momentum can reap rewards if done cautiosly with a small percentage of your portfolio, but if you're looking for wealth accumalation for a secure future with a minimized risk, you'll need to be investing in stocks with P/E's low relative to their peers, that have accelerating earnings growth, sales increases, a high ROE and profit margins that are above other stocks in that sector.

I've narrowed my search down to 1 stock for each sector that I think have the greatest potential over the next 12 months as well as long-term price appreciation for 3 - 5 years. You may disagree on some picks, and that's fine, some I culled from my picks could just as easily have been on the list. All the following should hold up well in a downturn in the market, weather it's current volitility, and outperform long term.

For the complete list and the sector it's based on look at the followup post I'll put up next.
