Navellier Growth: your source for market-beating growth stocks

 

07.22.08: I am invested in several stocks on the Blue Chip Growth Buy List. On one day last week when the market dropped, every single one was a loser! Normally, even in a serious downturn, at least some stocks in my portfolio reflect a gain. Help!

Our Blue Chip Growth Buy List is loaded with commodity-related stocks that often "zig" when the overall stock market "zags." But sometimes we suffer losses along because a very poor day for the market in general drags us down. This is what happened last week. Keep in mind though that one day is nothing in the greater scheme of things. Please don't worry about the daily gyrations of stocks as long as they still score high in PortfolioGrader Pro and are expected to announce strong quarterly sales and earnings. Judgment day for each Blue Chip Growth stock happens four times a year during earnings season–which is right now! So stop clicking the "refresh" button to get the latest prices from Yahoo! Finance, take a deep breath and wait until the quarterly reports come out. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at how our stocks react!
