I chose this week’s topic about safer stocks for an obvious reason.
That being the nasty correction that has unfolded with more and more investors worried about a potential bear market on the prowl. Thus the call for safer investments is growing ever louder.
For those who want to add a bit more stability in their portfolio, and enjoy a better night's sleep…then now is the perfect time to appreciate our Safety rating. Plus the top 5 safest stocks to buy now (shared further below).
Taking a step back, our Zen Ratings model not only has an overall score of A-F, which is the most important singular concept in selecting the best stocks…we also have 7 component scores for each stock to help you dial into the best picks that meet your unique needs:
The “Safety” component measures a company's consistency in performance and gauges the predictability of earnings, cash flows, and operational metrics. This typically translates to a more stable share price with lower volatility.
Let me be clear…if you are a more aggressive investor, or believe the market will soon bounce back with gusto, then feel free to use the Zen Ratings while completely ignoring the Safety scores.
But to those of you who would like a bit less risk to still enjoy ample stock market reward…then this Safety feature is the perfect solution.

I am a bit more of a long term growth investor. So Safety is not my primary concern. However, I abhor volatile stocks.
If it's a case of tortoise vs. hare stocks…I will take the tortoise every time because over the long haul “slow and steady” almost always wins the investment race.
