Goldilocks Trumps Gridlock

Kevin Cook here for Reity the rest of the week...

Since early March I've been telling subscribers to look for and welcome a pullback to S&P 2325. We finally got that touch Monday after the GOP failure to reform healthcare legislation. And the reaction was a big buying bounce off of that level.

To help you stay focused on those fundamental drivers that matter most – especially earnings – I can think of no better place to start than with a dive into the Zacks Method for Trading devised by our own Kevin Matras, author of Finding #1 Stocks.

He gives all the details in his latest article...
