STRATEGY: Updating Epicenter Trifecta List – 24 stock ideas are removed, and 11 stock ideas are added to the list… Now 108 stocks in the Trifecta list…
We are re-balancing our “Trifecta” epicenter stock list. These are the stocks which were hit the hardest by the pandemic and have the greatest operating leverage to a re-opening. And we like the earnings upside in these stocks, because of the massive cost reset. The stocks are based on positive views coming from the trifecta of: (i) Quant (tireless Ken), (ii) Global Portfolio Strategy (Brian Rauscher, aka Rocky) and (iii) Technicals.
