  Date: 01/05/2011 The stock market suffered aftershocks from the recent natural disasters but quickly recovered lost ground. Commodity prices have rallied, but oil remains the big story, and the indicator to watch. After the sharp downturn caused by the spate of natural disasters, the stock market rebounded to where it had started, with commodity prices resurgent and oil the main talking point as prices reacted to the political upheavals in the Middle East. Elio D'Amato, of Lincoln Stock Doctor, says the volatility is a natural part of market behaviour in uncertain times, and shrewd investors will move to take advantage of the buying opportunities it provides. Stressing again that it's important to maintain a diversified portfolio to cushion against downturns in particular sectors, he highlights four stocks which Lincoln's expert market-watchers believe provide value and good prospects.
