Today the market opened in some pretty bearish territory. In periods of extreme bearish sentiment, interesting opportunities can reveal themselves for the savvy investor.
One of the more interesting opportunities that can reveal themselves are stocks that zig when others zag. Traditionally, the beta of a stock tells us how a stock is typically going to move relative to the overall market. However, as beta can be an indicator, it's not a silver bullet.
Oftentimes, stocks can break correlation to the overall market which can deliver interesting buying opportunities for portfolio protection.
Most portfolios are correlated to the overall market in some way, so whenever we can add positions to our portfolio that allow us to reduce some of those correlations with quality companies, ultimately we can help reduce maximum drawdowns in long-term bearish markets like these ones.
Heatmaps To The Rescue
One of the newest features for premium members of Synvestable are market heatmaps.
These heatmaps look deep into every major index to show you exactly how the index companies moving relative to each other. In extremely bearish days like today, we can find anti-correlations that may help our portfolios stave off some drawdown in bear markets that we expect to persist.
Looking at the S&P 500 heatmap this morning, we wanted to highlight how you can use heatmaps too to find great anti-correlated opportunities to pad your portfolio in longer trending bear market environments.
Here are three great companies that have broken correlation to the overall market and are rising today that might warrant being added to your portfolios or watchlists.
