TheStreet.com Power Stock Rankings

During the week of Nov. 19, TheStreet.com readers searched for these 10 stocks more than any others. Research associate Patrick Schultz makes the Buy, Sell or Hold call on them below, in the order of their popularity.

1. E*Trade FinancialETFC: E*Trade is the most recent victim of the mortgage maelstrom. The company's brilliant strategy to diversify its business away from pure brokerage services has backfired, crushing current shareholders. However, speculation of a possible takeout by Charles SchwabSCHW or TD AmeritradeAMTD has buoyed the stock. However, I would not put any new money into this name, as many investors remain fearful of further losses yet to be announced. -- HOLD

2. GoogleGOOG: I said to lock and load on this name last week, and if you pulled the trigger, you have a nice gain of over $60. At this level, I would wait on market weakness (i.e., continual bad news from the financial or housing sector) to add to any Google position. -- BUY

3. AppleAAPL: Same situation as Google. Apple made a nice run last week after being a victim of recent market weakness. I see no reason to "pay up," as the market environment will offer opportunities to buy this tech stalwart at lower levels. -- BUY

4. EMCEMC: This stock is down close to 30% in less than a month, with no change in fundamentals. I would be an aggressive buyer of the stock at these levels. -- BUY

5. Research In MotionRIMM: I refer you to the notes on Google and Apple above. This is a great company in a tough overall market. Use weakness to your advantage. -- BUY
