andy brenner, what are you telling climates now?sily people could say i'm just going to stick with large cap u.s., or they could say i'm going to go to out of favor things right now. >> i think you have to go out of favor. if you're looking to make money, i think you have to look at things that have gotten hit hard. look at energy stocks. even though they've had a nice rally the last day or two, i mean, they're still down significantly. if you look through some of the drillers and some of the bonds that these guys have, they've gotten absolutely annihilated. so if you look at those two things, i think you have to buy stuff that is out of favor. liz: what else besides energy? by the way, everybody stay tuned because we have a trader, a financial guy who's, in essence, saying avoid all things numbering. so you're taking the contrary -- all things energy. what else is out of favor? >> well, the only thing that i see that's out of favor is if you want to go into europe, greek bonds are certainly out of favor. liz: you scare me, andy. gr
