Make these moves if volatility bothers you

Oct 06, 2021

Same story we’ve been talking about for months now … rates are on the uptake which means stocks are set for a downdraft.

Here’s my playbook.

1 – How to “ace” volatility

Yesterday’s trading was about as strong as a snapback rally as we’ve seen in some time. Yet shares are set for a tumble as I type this morning because traders remain skittish about the Fed’s next move.

So what!

Short-term trading conditions do not void the case for owning the world’s best stocks.

Change up your tactics – selling cash-secured puts, using LowBall orders, taking some money off the table and realigning it … those are all GREAT things to be doing at a time like the present!

2 – Why I will not buy Facebook until Zuckerberg is out

I stopped by Mornings with Maria (Bartiromo) earlier today on the Fox Business Network and noted that I won’t be buying the stock until CEO Mark Zuckerberg is sent packing.

Here’s my thinking (watch now)

3 – Investing with a parachute

Many investors fear pullbacks but inexplicably do little or nothing to prepare for them ahead of time. That’s a shame because it’s an easily fixable situation.

Low-beta stocks can help smooth out the volatility that’s giving many investors a serious case of indigestion at the moment. Plus, many pay great dividends, too.

For example, Kellogg’s (K) has a beta of 0.62 which makes it 38% less volatile than the broader markets and shares currently reflect a forward yield of 3.60%. Striking workers could provide an interesting entry.

There are a few stocks I like even more and you know exactly what they are if you’re a One Bar Ahead™ subscriber. I’ll have a few thoughts this Friday in the Ask Me Anything’s.

4 – Could Pfizer’s Covid pill be better than Merck’s?

I think so and I am not alone in wondering. Merck beat ‘em to the punch with an oral treatment but Pfizer’s version may have a different safety profile. Merck’s pill is a repurposed flu drug while Pfizer’s pill is purpose-built to fight Covid. Molnupiravir, Merck’s pill inhibits virus replication while Pfizer’s PF-07321332 inhibits primary protease enzymes Covid needs to replicate.

My money is on Pfizer.

5 – $823 million reasons to own this stock

Buying the right stocks helps … Palantir (PLTR) just won an $823 million contract from the US Army and shares are still doing nothing. It’s only a matter of time until they will.

Zig when everybody else zags.
