Covid must hurt stocks

Updated Epicenter Trifecta list — adding 19 stocks and deleting 1 stock
We have updated 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 (Rob Sluymer).  

– The total Epicenter list is growing, now >100, but adding cyclicals make sense
– FYI, this is culled from the Russell 1000
– We also added a new field ‘% of Buy ratings’ on the stock
– the fewer the % of Buys, in our view, the more contrarian the idea
– There are many stocks with <20% of ratings that are ‘Buy”-rated
