Today, the Dow dropped below 8,000 for the first time since March 2003.

This is great news for investors, says J. Cristoph Amberger. “History has proven time and time again that the seeds of wealth are sown during market crises… by buying good companies at crash valuations.”

He recommends investors buy shares of Ford Motors (NYSE:F), Alon (NYSE:ALJ), Stewart Enterprises (NASDAQ:STEI), General Electric (NYSE:GE), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and General Mills (NYSE: GIS) now.

Stewart Enterprises (NASDAQ:STEI) is the second largest provider of services in the funeral industry in the US. Laura Cadden in Today’s Financial News told readers about this stock in February. At the time, it was trading at around $6.40 a share. Since then, the share price hit $10 after the company’s larger competitor, Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), made a truly tempting acquisition offer.
