Aim High Profits News

 

It’s amazing that the equity markets have rallied in light of the incredibly strong US dollar thus far this year. That suggests that stocks are not quite ready for the pullback  analysts have been expecting following last Tuesday’s upside blow-off.  Still, while the Dow Industrials and Dow Transports have notched new reaction highs, the SPX and NDX haven’t.

Such divergences make for a cautious mood yet there are always good stocks to buy if you can search long and hard enough. The following are 50 alphabetically listed upgraded stocks to target for those investors weary of jumping into penny stocks just yet:
