What's not to like about this stock market? It's been steadily rising for more than a month. And it's been the kind of gentle climb that appeals to investors eager for a respite from a couple years of sharp ups and downs. It almost has a normal feel to it.
Many of the smart people are saying the worst of this fierce economic storm we have all been living through could be behind us. Our economy did not go off a cliff and even appears to be getting a little stronger every day. Could normalcy be breaking out like spring flowers or is it really the weeds of a double-dip recession we see out there?

| Many investors worry the U.S. economy will slip back into recession this year or next. More than likely, however, we will just get more of the same: a continuation of the recovery phase that began last year, followed by a moderate expansion through the rest of this year and next, all accompanied by a painfully slow decline in the unemployment rate. Among the waves and headwinds slowing the recovery will be the struggling housing sector, depressed small businesses and hesitant consumers. |

The financial sector has emerged to be the one of the best performing segments and the sector is expected to keep up its positive performance. Valuations for the banks and financial institutions are creeping back towards normalcy. There is a preference out there for financial stocks, but be wary of the regional banks. They appear to have a lot of commercial real estate that has yet to be written down. Many analysts expect big banks like Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup, Inc. (C) to perform well.
Read on to see where the profits are even if we get a more normal market.
