Can You Still Buy the Dow Jones' Best-Performing April Stocks?
It can be tough to buy stocks after a big rally. Making a stock buy then can feel like you may be overpaying or that you're stepping right in front of a pullback. More often than not, however, jumping into a high-quality name following a spate of bullishness ends up working out. After all, stocks usually log gains for good reason.
To this end, some of the market's highest-quality companies comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI). Here's a closer look at the index's biggest winners from last month. Is it too late to buy any (or all) of them?
The Dow's biggest April gainers are Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), and Merck (NYSE: MRK), up 6.6%, 6.9%, and 8.5% (respectively) versus the Dow's more modest advance of 2.6%.
