Picking great stocks can be tricky, but you can do it successfully -- and helping individual investors do it is pretty much our raison d’etre at The Motley Fool. So if you’re ready to add more companies to your portfolio, we always have suggestions. As Motley Fool Money host Chris Hill previews the new year with senior analysts Ron Gross and Jason Moser he poses them this question: What sectors and spaces do they predict will really heat up in 2019? In Gross’s view, it’s time for investors to go on the defensive, allocating more of their portfolios to utilities and discount retailers. Moser too, is looking at the slowing environment and interest rates rise, and seeing strong possible growth for smaller banks. On the other hand, the Fools will be shunning Fitbit and Zillow, respectively, and in this segment from this podcast, they’ll explain why. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe to The Motley Fool's YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/TheMotleyFool Or, follow our Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/+MotleyFool/posts Inside The Motley Fool: Check out our Culture Blog! http://culture.fool.com Join our Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/themotleyfool Follow The Motley Fool on Twitter: https://twitter.com/themotleyfool
