My solution for 2014? No shorts and more longs. For starters, I am re-recommending one of my picks from last year. Ocwen (OCN) is a tech-savvy mortgage servicer (essentially a highly paid bill processor and collector) that specializes in dicey loans. Ocwen�� efficient systems give it a 70% cost advantage over competitors with regard to subprime loans, which leads to more business and better profit margins. The stock could easily rise 50% over the coming year. My other picks are new.
