By Investors.com
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. So what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? Microsoft (MSFT), Netflix (NFLX), PayPal (PYPL), Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Pool (POOL) are looking stronger as the stock market continues to bounce back from the severe coronavirus correction.
While the long bull market was finally vanquished by the coronavirus crisis, things are again looking up. The stock market is once again in a confirmed uptrend. The rally has been strengthening, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq clearing key resistance levels and more top stocks breaking out. And the uptrend recently overcame an important test by rebounding from a sharp selloff.
A key to the rosier picture is the improving news on Covid-19, both in the U.S. and around the world. Many states are now looking at how they are going to come out of lockdown and get their economies firing again. However, stress in the oil markets has added to uncertainty.
So why are these five names above the rest to buy or watch? Before turning to that question it is important to consider how one goes about choosing a stock in the first place. Superior fundamentals and technical action, and buying at the right time, are all part of a shrewd investing formula.
