Best Stocks to buy for Swing Trading for this week – Expert Stock Picks of the Week by StockXpo

Hello to all our readers including Traders, Investors, Analysts, and others!!!! 

The Stock Market  is up this week. Facebook's parent company lost more than $230 billion in market value on Thursday, the largest one-day loss for a U.S. company in history, putting pressure on a stock market that has long been fueled by technology shares. Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -7.81 percent reported a nearly doubled profit during the critical holiday season, as the company managed to control labor and supply costs better than expected and saw gains in its cloud computing and advertising businesses. Many reasoned, outspoken, and honest scientists have argued that Covid-19 is rapidly transitioning from a “pandemic"… to an “endemic" respiratory infection comparable to the common cold and flu.

StockXpo's Diversification Strategy

Companies often think about diversification when they reach a certain point in their development. Igor Ansoff identified diversification as one of the four main growth strategies in 1957, and it allows companies to look at other markets or new products to expand their reach and revenue.

Diversification aims to smooth out unsystematic risk occurrences in a portfolio by ensuring that the positive performance of some investments balances out the negative performance of others. Only if the securities in the portfolio are not completely correlated—that is, if they react to market factors differently, frequently in opposing ways—does diversification pay off.

If you are following all strategies and watchlist – here is the recommendation for stockxpo diversification Strategy- 

• SELL(CAL, INBK, LPLA, OMI, BECN, CYH, EQNR, TTE) 
• HOLD(CIB, ATCO, APA, ZIM, SUN)
• BUY(CRUS, FUN, GCO, ARCO, CLS)
