Best Stocks to Buy Now in Tech, Oil, Emerging Markets, and More

Last week, Money Morning highlighted the best stocks to buy in tech, oil and natural gas, and emerging markets – and even featured two profitable beer stocks to nab before summer sales skyrocket.

One of our recommendations is a tech leader that has a stranglehold lead on a special smartphone component. Another tech stock we singled out is a top play in the billion-dollar U.S. robotics industry. And we highlighted two exchange-traded funds that are dominating broad emerging markets exposure.
