CNBC Stock Blog: On June 16, Jonathan Vyorst offered CNBC his stock picks. But which one was an exclusive “Web Extra”?

Vyorst offered two additional picks exclusively for CNBC.com: 

American Financial Group (AFG), a specialty insurer that sells for book value — he says it will earn close to four dollars per share this year — and Phillips Van Heusen (PVH), which owns the Calvin Klein brand, a brand that’s doing well both domestically and internationally.

AFG doesn’t show up in my models, but PVH has strong earnings momentum.
