During the week of May 5, TheStreet.com readers searched for the following 10 stocks more than any others. As oil rose past $125 per barrel, readers searched Anadarko PetroleumAPC, National Oilwell VarcoNOV and Nordic American TankerNAT for answers about the stock reaction. Each week, research associate Patrick Schultz makes the Buy, Sell or Hold call on the 10 most searched stocks, in the order of their popularity. 1. AppleAAPL: The shining path to $200 is on track, but it does not mean a detour to $170 is out of the question for Apple shares. A pullback that refreshes is due before Apple can challenge the $200 peak. I expect this week to be a tough one for AAPL bulls, but I would be a selective buyer. -- BUY

3. Yamana GoldAUY: I pounded the table to aggressively buy this gold play when it was trading under $13. AUY had a very nice run last week, and now it is sitting pretty. For the traders out there, there is no crime in taking some profit. I am taking this one to a hold on this run. -- HOLD
4. Yahoo!YHOO: Yahoo! is now the lost sailor of market. No Microsoft. No white knight coming to the rescue. It only has poor earnings and a troubled business model to fall back on. And shares have bounced to over $25 from the low $20s, adding a poor risk/reward return to the mix. Without Mister Softee coming back to the table, I just don't see the upside. -- SELL
5. Anadarko PetroleumAPC: In case you have been living on the moon for the past couple of years, the energy sector is the place to be. Case in point, the earnings report from Anadarko last week. They posted stellar results of $1.44 per share vs. analyst expectations of only $1.22 (18% upside beat). APC stock surged post-earnings, and the stock is trading at new all-time highs. I would use any weakness to the low $70s as an entry. -- BUY
