4 Stocks You'll Regret Not Buying at Their Current Price Levels

A falling market is always an opportunity to enter fundamentally strong stocks simply because there is always a chance to rise again as the short-term headwinds subside, leading to significant capital gain. This explains the concept of “Buy the Dip,” a basic principle of investing, popular among investors around the world.

Consider the current scenario where bourses have experienced a fall over the past year due to inflationary pressure, supply-chain disruptions, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and labor market constraints. While this may come across as problematic for the average investor, the wiser counterparts will see this as an opportunity and grab stocks at a cheaper price as they know that the downtrend is momentary and the factors causing it are temporary

Given this backdrop, we believe WPP plc, Jamf Holding Corp., Cvent Holding Corp. and Core & Main, Inc. are prudent picks at their current price levels.

A Weak Market Gives Access to Stocks at a Cheap Price

When markets fall, they give investors a great opportunity to buy stocks, which might have been comparatively much more expensive during a bull trend. That may sound very lucrative but also brings the risk of following the herd and ending up buying stocks that are too weak to see a recovery.

So, it's very important to pick the right investments that are expected to remain fundamentally strong, based on your investment goals and risk profile.

Warren Buffett once said, “The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as business, use the market's fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a margin of safety. That's what Ben Graham taught us. A hundred years from now, they will still be the cornerstones of investing.”

Well, for informed decision-making, you must do some research on the companies, industry, economy, markets and related factors.
