Throughout the trading week on Stockpickr Answers, investing professionals answer questions posed by members of the Stockpickr community.

TheStreet.com Ratings Senior Financial Analyst David MacDougall answered questions on Thursday. Recently on TheStreet.com, MadDougall wrote about the 30 top-rated stocks by TSC Ratings, which include Gilead (GILD), Sohu.com (SOHU) and DeVry (DV).

Here are some questions from the Stockpickr community that MacDougall answered on Thursday.


  • Futures are looking higher this morning after the late day financials rally yesterday and a new bit of Geithner testimony coming today. Is this optimism justified or are we being set up for another slide?

  • What do you think is the best investment thesis for getting into commodities at this point? Inflation hedge? Global growth? I'm trying to understand why commodities are rallying here and whether it's too early to get in.
