It's a Stockpickers' Market with Chit Chat Money

<p>Stocks have been selling off...so it time to go buying?</p> <p>The market's recent volatility has sent several institutions fleeing to safety -- replacing higher-risk equities for more defensive alternatives.</p> <p>As individual investors, should we follow suit? Should we similarly look for more stable, less-volatile stocks that will provide a smoother ride in a turbulent macro? Or is now the time to buy riskier growth stocks, who have been unfairly sold off and now have quite attractive valuations?</p> <p>We wanted to answer those questions by having some fun, bringing in our partners from <a href="https://chitchatmoney.com/">Chit Chat Money</a> to play the "Stockpickers' Market" game.</p> <p>On today's podcast, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson spots CCM's Brett Schafer and Ryan Henderson up with three head-to-head stock matchups with the following themes:</p> <ol> <li>"Stocks Down More than 90%": <strong>Peloton</strong> (Nasdaq: PTON) vs <strong>Upstart </strong>(Nasdaq: UPST)</li> <li>"Fallen Pandemic Winners": <strong>Roku</strong> (Nasdaq: ROKU) vs <strong>Shopify </strong>(NYSE: SHOP)</li> <li>"Stocks That are Actually Up During the Past Year": <strong>Lockheed Martin</strong> (NYSE: LMT) vs <strong>Costco </strong>(Nasdaq: COST)</li> </ol> <p>In the game, Brett and Ryan share their thoughts about each of the companies and then give each a score from 1-10 on how bullish (or bearish) they are about investing in them today. They reveal the winner of each matchup, as well as the stock that ultimately received the highest average score in the game.</p> <p>Want more content like this? 7investing and Chit Chat Money <a href="https://twitter.com/chitchatmoney/status/1576600728399138818">have a partnership</a> to dive deep into companies and promote a long-term investing mindset.
