The stock market’s had a HUGE year — for the 1st half anyway. The benchmark S&P 500 was up 17% through 6 months. And many stocks have done better.
In fact, the market’s been so good that a handful of great growth stocks just passed me by — and kept going higher.
A lot of these names were on my radar, and I just didn’t imaging they would rise so quickly. That’s the downside of waiting to get a better price before buying a hot stock.
The 2nd half of the year has been rocky so far. And honestly that’s a good thing, because it gives us opportunities to pick up these stock market leaders while they are off their highs.
Another thing that’s good is you the investor get to see what a “stock that’s too high” looks like. Now I’m not saying they won’t go higher, I’m telling you the risk is high at these elevated levels.
So here’s my short list of stocks I’m looking to buy — if the price is right. All charts are 2019 Q2.
