Covid must hurt stocks

Updated Epicenter Trifecta - Stocks with Uncommon Value During Uncommon Times

This list was published in this morning’s (6/26/20) Daily BLAST. We’ve republished it here in order highlight it for our valued subscribers.

Stick with “epicenter” even because they are “unkillable”
In face of this setback on healthcare data, the natural question is whether we want to be buying “epicenter” stocks.  After all, if states pause/rollback, this group is hit the hardest.  In short, we think the right strategy is epicenter.  Here is a simple observation:

– we get a new high in cases
– Texas is pausing
– Apple is closing store

This is “massacre-level” bad news.  And the epicenter got massacred.  But will they get pounded even more?  They are hardly owned today.  And the fact that the NASDAQ made a new all-time high shows “bond proxy” (NASDAQ is the new bond proxy?) is holding up.  So, the upside in the S&P 500 is the cyclicals, aka epicenter.
