Money Morning's Best Stocks to Buy Now

• Car manufacturers are increasingly finding ways to synchronize vehicles with smartphone and computing software. This technology is quickly added to new cars - and not just the luxury models. Standard sedans like the 2015-2016 Honda Accord or 2015-2016 Toyota Camry are now equipped with Bluetooth and multimedia systems. Money Morning Defense & Technical Specialist Michael A.

What makes Fitz-Gerald's pick so appealing is that the fund has an expense ratio of just 0.26%, compared to the average expense ratio of 0.86%. And it's had outstanding performance...
