This is Jake Berzon of Odesskiy Listok's take on Fortune Magazines Best Best Stocks for 2008.

Annaly (NLY) – This company used to be on my watch list. It is a rather volatile stock that is in the current at-risk business (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are private companies), whose stock appreciated while all of the financials depreciated – so it is bigger gamble than I am willing to take.
