Besides Wednesday’s rally, bullish investors have not had much to cheer about lately. But in a moment, we’ll look at a few diamonds in the rough.
The S&P 500 is down 9.4% year to date. And the Nasdaq has fallen 14%.
This isn’t fun for most stockowners. Worse, though, is the volatility.
The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, is up 130% year to date.
This is primarily due to the complete uncertainty regarding tariff policy.
Then there’s actual fear, as measured by the CNN Fear and Greed Index:
As you can see, a week ago it was even worse, measuring just three out of 100. That’s far from the greedy market we had a year ago.
But not all is lost. Not every investor is fearful. And certainly, not every investment is down.
In fact, of all 12,000-plus stocks we rate here at Weiss Ratings, we found 118 that are “Buys” and have also gone UP over the past 30 days.
Sure, plenty of them are gold stocks. After all, gold is breaking its record highs, while many investors flee to safety. But there are others.
Copart (CPRT) is up 9% in that time and still carries its own “B-” rating.
Imperial Brands (IMBBY) actually has an “A-” rating and jumped 7.8% in the past month.
Northrop Grumman (NOC) is rated “B-” and is up 15% in the past 30 days. And that’s a big blue chip. So, it didn’t just sneak by.
As you can see, if you know where to look, you CAN still make money in the market. And with prices now down almost indiscriminately for most other stocks, there are even more bargains.
That’s what many of your experts are focused on. Here’s what they have found …
