What are the best stocks to buy right now? We try to answer this question every day by tracking the moves of smart money and buyside analysts. Sell side analysts usually aren’t independent and their published opinions may be significantly different from their true opinions. This usually isn’t the case with buy side analysts. One of the sources we use to identify investment ideas is checking out the list of stocks financial advisors are searching. Investing Channel’s Intuition publishes a weekly report called Trackstar. According to the latest report covering the February 28th-March 5th period financial advisors’ number one target is Colgate Palmolive Co. (NYSE:CL).

Colgate-Palmolive Co. is a low volatility stock that has been trading between $50 and $70 in the last 12 months. It has a dividend yield of slightly north of 2.2%. The stock is clearly a flight-to-safety play gaining about 2.5% this year. I glanced over the key statistics of Colgate-Palmolive Co and didn’t really find the stock underpriced. CL’s forward price-earnings ratio is north of 22. It may be a good alternative to long-term bonds but it isn’t the type of stock that can double or triple your money in the next 10 years. Hedge funds don’t like the stock that much. They aren’t short but collectively own only about 3% of its outstanding shares of Colgate-Palmolive.

Intrexon Corporation (NYSE:XON) is the second most popular stock among financial advisors in Trackstar’s list. This small biotech stock garnered more attention than tech giants like Apple and Facebook for an interesting reason. You can read the details here. Intrexon Corporation is one of the best performing stocks this year gaining about 25% year-to-date.

One of the most popular sectors among financial advisors is technology. The top three technology stocks among financial advisors are Apple Inc (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX) and Facebook (FB). Personally I don’t like Apple as a long-term or short-term investment. Before getting into the details, let’s first explain why financial advisors like NFLX and FB. Both of these stocks were among the best performing stocks in 2015 and still garner a lot of attention due to this fact. Nearly one out of every 5 hedge funds has a long position in Facebook.
