Stocks to Buy 2013 - Oil Stocks 2013 - Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG) - Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG) remains my top stock pick for 2013 and the best stock to buy during a major stock market correction during 2012.  The best time to buy Oil Stocks is during late summer when the price of oil has rallied and the stock market is in a funk.  Over the past two years, buying KOG stock between August - October has resulted in massive gains three months later.  Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG) is my top stock to purchase for 2013 because the company is rapidly expanding in the Bakken Shale Oil Field located in North Dakota.  The Bakken continues to see a spike in oil reserves as more and more companies drill wells.  KOG stock could hit $20 at some point in 2013 as long as oil doesn't tank.  I will be looking for a correction below $7 to start buying KOG in twenty twelve.

Penny Stocks 2013 - Medical Device Penny Stocks - Nanosphere (NSPH) - Nanosphere (NSPH) is a risky penny stock to buy for 2013 but aren't all penny stocks risky?  I mean, penny stocks are cheap ( low stock price ) for a reason right?  They are either company out of a key company restructuring period or the company is having serious problems.  Well, lately I have been doing some research on a micro small cap stock called Nanosphere (NSPH).  I like the fact that the company is supposed to grow revenues from 2.5 million in 2011 to 7.56 million in 2012.  The company could even turn a profit at some point in 2013.  However, will they have enough cash to survive or will they have to sell a little stock first?  This could offer a nice buying opportunity in 2012.  NSPH is currently up 45% in the past three months and is a penny stock on the rebound.  As we head into 2012, NSPH is trading at $1.47.  Keep an eye on NSPH as we get closer to 2013.
