Not 1, But 2 Stocks of the Week

Every Monday I typically share 1 “Stock of the Week” selection. 

However, with the market on the brink of bear market territory, this has led to a seismic shift in my market outlook. 

This includes a strong desire to own the kinds of stocks that will perform better in this murky environment.

This led to many hours of active stock research this weekend culminating in 2 new stocks that will be added Wednesday 4/9 to my Zen Investor portfolio.   

Here are the qualities these 2 stocks have in common:

  • A rated “Strong Buy” stocks. Meaning in the 5% of Zen Ratings stocks based on all 115 factors analyzed by our computer model.
  • Defensive industries that are not as economically sensitive. Thus, they would hold up much better than most if a recession is on the horizon. 
  • Tariffs are not a concern for their business model (staying away from this landmine is vital for investors at this time). 
  • Has attractive growth and upside price potential even if the market bounces from here. Meaning these are not just boring defensive stocks that will only do well if the market is in turmoil. Instead these are attractive investments for all market conditions.  

Indeed I found 2 perfect stocks that stack up well against this stringent criteria. 

I urge investors who have not made this defensive shift in their portfolio to strongly consider adding these 2 picks. 

The only way to see these 2 new stock recommendations coming out Wednesday morning April 9th is to become a Zen Investor member. 

Gladly that is a fairly easy thing to do. 

Even better, those who join now can enjoy up to 50% savings. Just click below to get started…
