Tech stocks today helped lower the Dow Jones – but a couple of them are still "buys."
Two tech giants, including Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), are good picks while one construction equipment company should be avoided.

Money Morning's Defense and Tech Specialist Michael Robinson just told readers about one of the best tech stocks to buy now – and it's actually the second time he's recommending the stock. That's how good the potential is.
Robinson first told his readers about this tech stock in July 2013. At the time, it had a share price of just $23.87.
Today, the stock opened at $36.56. That's a 53% gain in just 18 months.
But Robinson said this tech stock still has huge upside...

Money Morning's "unloved" stock to buy this week is German automaker Volkswagen AG (OTC ADR: VLKAY).
An unloved investment is one that's been beaten down – but is actually a great value. Investors then get an amazing entry point into a good long-term investment.
While Volkswagen stock had a tough 2014, Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald prefers VLKAY to trendy Tesla Motors Inc.
Investors don't like Volkswagen's zeal for acquisitions and worry about falling U.S. sales.
But Wall Street needs to take a longer view on Volkswagen stock...

Those tempted to buy Yahoo stock because they see it one day dethroning the likes of Google or Facebook should be reminded of where Yahoo’s true value lies.
Especially since every small victory Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) seems to secure is invariably greeted as evidence that Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer is successfully breathing new life into a struggling, once-great web portal and online services giant.

Money Morning's "unloved" stock pick of the week is defense contractor Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS).
After a big run-up in 2013, KTOS stock had leveled off this year — until recently. An earnings miss helped spark a big drop of more than 50% from a 52-week high reached in June.
But investor overreacted. Kratos stock now is seriously oversold and poised for a major rebound in 2015.
Here's why KTOS stock will double next year...

Money Morning's "unloved" pick of the week is oil and gas exploration and production company Apache Corp. (NYSE: APA).
Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald recommended Apache stock last week, calling it a "hated stock" that presents a "terrific opportunity" for investors.
Although APA stock fell almost 50% as a result of plunging oil prices, it remains a solid company.
Here's why Apache stock is really an incredible bargain right now...

Money Morning's "unloved" pick of the week is 3D tissue printing and testing company Organovo Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ONVO).
Several of Money Morning's experts have made note of the great potential of ONVO stock. Defense & Tech Specialist Michael Robinson first called attention to Organovo stock in July of 2013. Earlier this month, Money Morning Biotech Investing Specialist Ernie Tremblay recommended it.
Organovo stock is down 58% from its all-time high, as investors got ahead of themselves in 2013.
But in recent months ONVO has started to realize its tremendous potential...

Looks like it's time to buy Wells Fargo stock.

What comes to mind when you think of e-commerce stocks to buy?
For most investors, it's big online retailers like Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA). Some may also think of the package delivery companies like FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS).
But few would think to mention Zebra Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq: ZBRA).
Zebra's role in the e-commerce ecosystem is very much behind the scenes, but no less profitable...
