There are 2 ways to use the above analysis to your benefit.

• Upon further due diligence you might find one or more of the 27 stocks on "sale" at deeply discounted prices that warrant investing in.
• On the other hand, again after doing some further research, you might find that one or more of the 11 stocks that are up YTD have underlying fundamentals that support their strong price performance and, as such, warrant your investing in.
