Hey, Ross here:
The market is now within striking distance of new highs.
But the “average” stock has not been faring so well.
Chart of the Day
The chart above shows how the “average” stock in each S&P sector – as well as the overall S&P 500 itself – has performed year-to-date.
As you can see, even though the S&P 500 is up over 20% from the April lows – and is less than 2% away from previous highs…
The average S&P 500 stock has returned a paltry 1.8% – barely anything at all.
However, there is a significant divergence between sectors.
Communication services have returned 7%, while energy has actually lost close to 3%.
That means the leading stocks within each sector will likely have returned – or lost – far more as well.
I explain the implications below.
Insight of the Day
The data shows that we’re in a stock picker’s market.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m a stock picker through and through.
But there are certain times where just riding the broader market can be a more optimal choice for average investors.
Now is not one of those times.
The average stock has delivered truly meager gains this year…
Meaning settling for average right now is a losing move.
If you want to make real returns, you have to be highly selective in the stocks you pick.
It’s a stock picker’s market.
That’s why later this afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE to show you a powerful stock picking strategy that has signaled moves of:
- 102% in 12 days…
- 118% in 2 days…
- 101% in 5 days…
- 207% in 5 days…
- And 519% in 60 days
It all has to do with detecting an underground signal most traders have no clue even exists…
And later this afternoon, I’ll be demonstrating exactly how it works…
So you can use it to target the most lucrative opportunities out there.
I’ll also be pointing out some of the top setups it’s highlighting now – so don’t miss it.
Click here to lock in your seat for my live session if you haven’t yet…
And I’ll see you at 3 p.m. ET later today.
