5 Safest Stocks to Buy Now

I chose this week’s topic about safer stocks for an obvious reason. 

That being the great increase in recent volatility from the “rolling correction” that unfolded. 

What is that? 

A sector rotation on steroids where bit by bit each stock group endured hardship even though the overall market indices did not dip that low. Just a quick test of the 100 day moving average followed by ample bounce back towards the highs.  

This all makes sense after a bountiful bull run that started in early April. High time for investors to take some profits off the table. 

This is also a wake up call to investors that the stock market is not always so easy. Meaning stocks just don't go up and up and up like appeared to be the case for the previous 6 months.  

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:

• Growth
• Value
• Momentum
• Sentiment
• Financials
• AI
• Safety

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, 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. 

All in all there are 20 hand selected stocks in my portfolio right now. 

And on Wednesday December 3rd I will be adding two more strong buys recommendations.
