Hot Stocks to buy for Swing Trading for this week — Expert Stock Picks of the Week by StockXpo

 Hello to all our readers including Traders, Investors, Analysts, and others!!!! 

CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors on Thursday that he believes stocks of “great firms" will make a comeback if the stock market improves, emphasizing five names in particular. Due to rising raw material prices, the Chinese electric manufacturer has been forced to raise its rates to customers. When Covid regulations hindered Nio's from obtaining parts from vendors in April, the company was forced to temporarily halt operations. However, the corporation stated that it was able to resume some manufacturing a few days later. According to former Morgan Stanley Asia head Stephen Roach, stagflation is making a comeback. He cautions that the United States is on a risky road that will result in higher costs and weaker GDP.

StockXpo's Diversification Strategy

Companies often think about diversification when they reach a certain point in their development. Igor Ansoff identified diversification as one of the four main growth strategies in 1957, and it allows companies to look at other markets or new products to expand their reach and revenue.

Diversification aims to smooth out unsystematic risk occurrences in a portfolio by ensuring that the positive performance of some investments balances out the negative performance of others. Only if the securities in the portfolio are not completely correlated—that is, if they react to market factors differently, frequently in opposing ways—does diversification pay off.

If you are following all strategies and watchlist – here is the recommendation for the StocXpo diversification Strategy-

• SELL(BCBP, CMLS, AMAL, CHEF, PBF, UTL) 
• HOLD(GFF, DK, ZEUS, DINO)
• BUY(AVT, YARIY, CVE, NR, ULH, SCSC)
