This week was a slow one as the major U.S. indexes saw a decline. We did see some big stocks with big drops: Walmart (WMT), United Healthcare (UNH), Trupanion (TRUP), and Bumble (BMBL) to name just a few. Despite the overall market decline, we think the market still looks dangerous.

Events around the world continue to call the market’s bluff: tariffs, high inflation expectations, consumer sentiment dropping, etc.

When uncertainty lingers, astute investors know opportunity abounds. As CEO David Trainer shared in his recent training, overvaluation doesn’t mean all opportunities are gone. In fact, it often creates the best opportunities for discerning investors, what we’re calling a Golden Era of stock picking. Check out our latest free training on the Golden Metric for picking stocks in the Golden Era and learn how to get our top pick for 2025.

Through proper due diligence, and quality fundamental analysis, you can identify undervalued stocks even in this expensive market.
