Is It Time to Buy the S&P 500's 3 Worst-Performing October Stocks?
Last month was a pretty good one for large-cap stocks, all in all. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) rallied nearly 6% past September's close and started November on a bullish foot as well. Not every S&P 500 component is doing quite as well, though. In fact, despite their notoriety and status as an important slice of the overall American economy, a handful of the index's constituents did downright poorly in October.
For some investors, this weakness is something to avoid. For other investors, however, these pullbacks may represent an opportunity to step into some quality names on the cheap. As is usually the case, such a decision is a case-by-case matter.
