If you’re looking to take a risk, Terex (TEX) is a great opportunity for a beginner portfolio to capitalize on a turnaround stock. Terex produces engineering and construction machinery in the infrastructure equipment sector. During the economic downturn, construction companies have performed poorly, and Terex is no exception. In fact, they project a loss for 2010.
However, investors looking for quality value stocks in their portfolios should look no further. The company still has solid financials. And with the construction industry forcast to rebound in 2011, Terex expects to turn a profit.
This is a growth stock that should prove profitable over the next 5 years, with good potential at performing better than its competitors. There is risk of loss in all stock trading and investing. Commissions and fees vary per individual.

Does the buzz about Apple (AAPL) ever seem to end? I didn’t think so.
Despite a wavering price (most recently due to the iPhone 4′s antenna glitches), Apple is still a strong candidate for a beginner stock portfolio. Their earnings are amazing and the fact that they have surpassed Microsoft (MSFT) in market capitalization really bodes well for Apple. Their share price does look expensive, but that’s certainly a reflection on their power in the industry.
If Apple continues to see big success from the iPad and iPhone, you can bet that the continued profitability will show up accordingly in their stock price.
