Greetings to all of our readers, traders, investors, analysts, and others!!!!

This week, the stock market was down.. Let’s take a look at some of the top news of the week first. It’s been a hectic week for U.S. stocks, and Thursday was no different. As of 4 p.m., the S&P 500 was down 0.5 percent after five straight sessions of gains. Both the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.6 percent and 0.5% respectively… In addition, Since, Salesforce.com’s reputation has been restored and it is no longer in the penalty box. This is going to be a challenge. A deal to buy Slack Technologies for nearly $28 billion in cash and stock was announced by Salesforce late last year, causing its shares to drop like a rock. … Other than this Emerging-market debt in Asia is being weighed down by the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of Covid-19. A new round of lockdowns or social-distancing restrictions has been implemented by governments in the region, slowing their economic recovery, and increasing their expenditures to help their citizens and businesses.

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(VRTV, CAR, ASIX, SIMO, JLL, WIRE) 
• BUY( DIOD, POWI, M, OPCH, RYI, GSKY)
• Hold(REGN, GDEN, DSKE, PPC, ON)
