The headlines have been filled with ways to make money in what many are calling the 鈥渘ew normal,鈥� due to the pandemic. As more people work from home, there has been a rush into telework stocks such as Zoom Video (ZM). There鈥檚 also more time to watch movies and television, so Netflix (NFLX) rallied to a new all-time high. But the sector that has easily been garnering the most attention has been telehealth. The ability to see your doctor via your phone or computer has never been so important. Most doctor visits are due to non-life-threatening situations and therefore can be handled remotely. I, for example, had a follow-up with my doctor yesterday morning via the camera on my phone to go over some lab work.

On March 18, exactly one month ago, I wrote to you about how the market plunge felt like 鈥渁 punch to the gut鈥� and 鈥渁 kick to the head.鈥� We were in the midst of the panic selling craziness, and I wanted to remind you how the market always recovers鈥� and that there were some incredible bargains to be had. A month later, we鈥檙e still stuck at home and much of the economy is shut down, but the S&P 500 has rallied 20.5%... and 28.5% off the lows that came a few days later on March 23. Many stocks have done even better. In that time, I鈥檝e added five recommendations to the Crisis and Opportunity Portfolio.

Stocks closed the week on a high note as the good news continued to build heading into the weekend. The three major stock indices were up 3.8% on average this week (the Nasdaq was up more than 6%) and are now sitting at one-month highs as investors digest the news about a possible COVID-19 treatment and the eventual re-opening of America. In today鈥檚 new episode of MoneyLine, I cover the increasing positive headlines surrounding the pandemic and stocks. And, more importantly, I explain why stocks have been rallying recently. For the last several weeks, biotech firm Gilead Sciences (GILD) has been touted in the news as the company with the most promising potential of creating a treatment for the coronavirus.

The market remains volatile, but it has not had back-to-back down days in over three weeks. In that time, the S&P 500 has gained nearly 30% from its March low. Amid all that volatility, we launched our Crisis and Opportunity Portfolio specifically to take advantage of opportunities emerging from the extreme selling. The performance has been nothing short of impressive. The portfolio is up 25.9% versus a gain of 12.6% for the S&P 500. The four stocks in the portfolio all fall into our long-term investment trends. And all four are small-cap stocks that are flying under the radar of the average investor. I shared one stock with you at my Crisis and Opportunity Investment Summit on April 2 and it's already up big.

For most of March, it felt like the world was ending, especially if you looked at Twitter. The atmosphere was total panic. Then, on April 1, I sat down for a free, public webinar to say that not only is it time to start buying鈥� I鈥檓 going to go on record with the #1 stock to buy right now. Let鈥檚 look back at the call I made that night, how it鈥檚 panned out so far, and what it means for you. If I may, let me quote myself from the night of April 1: This is one of my favorite stocks right now, and this is one of the stocks that we're adding tonight to the Crisis & Opportunity Portfolio for Early Stage Investor. Stock number one, Catasys (CATS). It's a pretty small stock, at a $237 million market cap.

We all dream of amazing profits from the next Google (GOOGL) or Amazon (AMZN). Well, this is the time to find them 鈥� among great small caps that have been unfairly hit in this coronavirus crisis. Not just any small caps, of course. The innovators. The job creators. The ones who show the early signs of going on to do great things. I鈥檓 talking about boldly buying something like Netflix (NFLX) in 2008. Back then, Netflix was mostly a mail-order DVD rental company. It was a small cap worth $1.3 billion. And we were in the thick of the financial crisis. Ten years later, you鈥檇 have been up 11,000%... even 12,000%. Sadly, many, many people missed out on that buying opportunity in 2008.

We began a new quarter, but market volatility remained this week as the number of coronavirus cases in the United States kept climbing and the monthly jobs report showed a steep increase in the unemployment rate. The S&P 500 closed down 2.9% for the week, but I like that it remains well off the March low. On this week鈥檚 episode of MoneyLine, I dive into the market action and discuss the best plan to start buying stocks. That鈥檚 right 鈥� it鈥檚 time to start buying again. But I recommend you be smart about how you do that. There is a specific road map you must follow if you want to make the most of this crisis market. The big number of the week was the March jobs report, which was as ugly as expected. But that鈥檚 not actually the main reason behind today鈥檚 sell-off.

Has the market found a bottom? Is it time to buy stocks again? These are two of the biggest questions I鈥檝e been getting from readers, family, and friends the past few days. Volatility has been near record-high levels. The coronavirus panic has caused gut-wrenching moves. Some of America鈥檚 largest companies lost nearly 30% in value in no time at all鈥� before rallying and then pulling back again. Fear and confusion are through the roof. So let me answer these questions鈥� right here, right now. Yes. It is time to buy stocks. That鈥檚 why I released Part 2 of my Crisis & Opportunity Investment Summit last night. For those of you who attended Part 1 a few weeks ago but didn鈥檛 make it last night, don鈥檛 worry.

Everywhere I go, family and friends, coworkers, and even people I run into at the grocery store ask me what they should do with their portfolio. Recently it has been via email and phone calls as most of us are self-isolating at home. Stocks are down, volatility is through the roof, gas prices have cratered, crazy things are happening in the bond markets鈥� and the coronavirus is causing disruption and suffering that we need to address and overcome. We will. I get that it鈥檚 a frustrating and even scary time, but I also know the stock market has taken gut punches in the past. It always 鈥撀燼lways聽鈥� finds a way to rebound. You need to have already laid the groundwork when it does.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the market has taken a beating in March, and we are closing in on the worst month since 2008. But both the economy and stocks will recover from the coronavirus 鈥� and I want to explain why. There are several positive signs for consumers, such as lower oil prices. Add in historically low interest rates and you have the strong likelihood that businesses and consumers will spend. Underlining these positives is a massive stimulus package on the way that will help kickstart the economy when the time is right and the coronavirus is brought under control. To that end, help looks to be on the way from healthcare and biotechnology companies. I鈥檝e mentioned Fulgent Genetics (FLGT) here in MoneyWire before.

In March 2009, I was working in Manhattan at my investment advisory firm and writing newsletters. At the time, I was also a regular guest on Fox Business prior to signing a contract with the network. You would think all things in my work life were good. I was busy doing what I love and had multiple streams of income. However, everything that I did 鈥� including in my free time 鈥� revolved around the stock market. Heading into that month, the S&P 500 had lost over half its value, and there appeared to be no end in sight. Nearly everyone had given up on stocks鈥� and investing in general. The bears and doomsdayers were everywhere. You could not turn on the TV, open the internet, or read a newspaper without hearing about 鈥渢he end of Wall Street.鈥�

Prices. You can鈥檛 make a move in today鈥檚 world without seeing the聽price聽for something. You鈥檝e got prices for cars, homes, gas, food, insurance, medical care, appliances, and services. You鈥檝e got聽prices聽for financial assets like stocks and bonds. Most people view聽a price聽as having just one聽side. A stock鈥檚聽price聽is $42, a home鈥檚 price is $350,000, and a car鈥檚 price is $27,000. For most people, the thinking stops there. Yet, there鈥檚 a different, very powerful way to view prices beyond them having just one side. Not many people use this way of seeing things, but it鈥檚 one of the great secrets of the financial markets鈥� something that lets you see what others do not.聽

There is nothing I hate more than people who use scare tactics for personal gain. Especially right now. Come to find out, Bill Ackman, the hedge fund CEO of Pershing Capital who loves sparring with other billionaires in the media, was buying up some of the very stocks he was warning us about last week. That鈥檚 because it never pays to bet against America. The truth is, we鈥檝e all seen this cycle play out before. The previous financial crisis of 2008-2009 spooked investors so much that shares of some of the largest and most well-respected companies got crushed. Does the market go straight up after something like that? No. But people who heard the knock of opportunity set themselves up for serious upside.
