15 stocks to put on your list to buy when the market recovers

MarketWatch columnist Mark Hulbert argues that stocks most sensitive to market liquidity are good candidates to buy when the market recovers. Using a 2003 academic methodology applied to the Russell 3000 and filtered by newsletter endorsements, he lists 15 liquidity-sensitive names and notes that similar lists have materially outperformed the S&P 500 in prior episodes. Hulbert cites the 15-stock cohort’s post-August 2024 outperformance (25% annualized vs. 16.2% for the S&P 500) and earlier examples showing sustained excess returns, suggesting these names could lead the next bull-leg when liquidity returns. The piece is market commentary with a performance-comparison focus and a bullish implication for the selected stocks relative to the S&P 500.
