5 Stocks with Recent Price Strength to Maximize Your Gains

After the turmoil in September, Wall Street has recovered some of the lost ground so far in October. However, we are not out of the woods. Three major factors are present that can flare up market volatility anytime.

First, the U.S. Congress is yet to reach an amicable solution regarding the size and scope of the second round of the coronavirus-aid package. The Democrats have settled for a $2.2 trillion stimulus while the White House has approved only $1.8 trillion. It is not clear whether a deal will arrive before the U.S. presidential election scheduled on Nov 3.

Second, it seems a remote possibility that a vaccine or a proper line of treatment for COVID-19 will appear this year. This week the FDA has paused late-stage clinical trials of two drugs for the potential treatment of coronavirus on safety concerns.

Meanwhile, several states and regions in the United States and major Eurozone countries have recently witnessed another spike in COVID-19 infections as these economies are trying to return to normalcy.

Third, the U.S. presidential election is less than three weeks away. Historically, stock markets have remained volatile in the month before the election. Market participants generally choose to hold cash instead of investing in risky assets like equities while assessing the economic and financial consequences of the election result.

At this stage, wouldn’t it be a safer strategy to look for stocks that are winners and have the potential to gain further?
