Yahoo Finanza Best Stocks to Buy Now for February 2022
But for those who stay strong, history shows that quality outlier assets – the best of the best – usually recover and rise with time.
See, the best outlier stocks have 3 traits: strong fundamentals, great technicals, and a history of Big Money activity in the shares. Outlier stocks see a lot of Big Money buying. Oftentimes, that can be institutional activity. We’ll go over what that looks like in a bit.
At MAPsignals, we believe Big Money trading can alert you to the forward fundamental picture of a stock. And we want the odds on our side when looking for the highest quality stocks.
Using the MAPsignals database to evaluate thousands of stocks and filter for just the best (i.e., stable, profitable companies with low debt and growing sales), we identified five we see as long-term candidates. They are AMD, EPAM, MASI, RGEN, & TER.
Up first is Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), which is a computer chip and graphics card maker.
Even though great stocks can be volatile, like AMD this year, these companies are worthy of attention. Check out AMD:
1-month performance (-6.3%)

When you see a lot of them, like AMD did in 2019 and 2020 (when it was less than 1/2 its current price), I call it the stairway to heaven:
