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!!!! 

Stock indices in the United States rose for the third day in a row, putting the S&P 500 on track for its greatest weekly rise since late 2020. With inflation in the United States reaching a 40-year high, it is becoming more difficult for consumers to stretch their budgets. That may appear to be a windfall for a retailer like Dollar General, DG 4.61 percent, but the picture is a little more complicated. Interest-rate estimates by Federal Reserve officials elicited a mixed reaction from US bond markets on Wednesday, indicating that investors remain uncertain about how much the central bank will tighten monetary policy.

If you are a regular reader, you may be already aware, we recommend 10-12 stocks in 3 different categories –  1. ValueGrowth , 2. TechFund & 3. Diversification, to fit different trading styles and strategies. You can find more details about these strategies in our FAQ section.

StockXpo's – ValueGrowth Strategy

As you know, this is more like Buffett's Value Strategy, but our stock-picking criterion is to pick the top 3 out of such value stocks. Moreover, we are more likely to hold them for the short term, not the long term. Our backtesting suggests that weekly balancing gives very good results week over week and year over year, it can grow your portfolio exponentially if you just consistently follow these strategies. So our picks are $AMN, $QDEL, and $BELFB   in this category.

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(JAKK, PANL, CEPU, UFCS, BDSI,PERI) 
• HOLD(BELFB, QDEL, MRC, FLR)
• BUY(ASIX, CIVI, OAS, SM, AMN, CLH)
