'Fast Money' Portfolios of the Week

By Roberto Pedone

WINDERMER, Fla. (Stockpickr) -- According to CNBC's "Fast Money" traders, the easy money trades are still the way to play this market after the Federal Reserve announced it will keep interest rates at record lows. On Tuesday's "Fast Money" show, Pete Najarian told viewers that names such as Intel(INTC) and IBM(IBM) led the Dow higher. He said that in this low-interest-rate environment, investors are buying quality growth stocks and companies that could increase dividends. Najarian thinks this is where market players can expect to find performance going forward.

Joe Terranova thinks the S&P 500 is going to push towards 1200. He agreed with Najarian that quality names such as IBM and Intel will be the drivers. Brian Kelly said he bought some Charles Schwab(SCHW) as a bet that the retail investors will come back the market in the wake of the Fed decision. Guy Adami suggested that investors looking for a trade should take profits in Tiffany(TIF).

Considering that interest rates are likely to remain low, Terranova and Seymour agreed that the trend in the U.S. dollar is going to be lower, putting risky assets in play. Terranova said crude oil is going to hit $90 a barrel and that the best way to play it is with the United States Oil Fund(USO).
