James “Rev Shark” Deporre isn’t one to let grass grow under his feet.
With the stock market on a downward trend, Deporre has his sights set on more than a dozen stocks on his “shopping list” that should survive the test of time (and of a choppy market) and add some heft to an investor’s portfolio.
“The bearish narrative has been gaining some traction and virtually everyone is aware of the fact that September is on average the weakest month of the year,” Deporre wrote recently on Real Money. “The combination of extended technical conditions, with some slowing in the economy and negative seasonality makes the bearish call pretty easy.”
Among the names Deporre is keeping an eye on are Butterfly Network (BFLY) , Elys Game Technology ELYS, Aurinia Pharmaceuticals (AUPH) , Performant Financial (PFMT) and urban-gro (UGRO) . Others include Xeris Pharmaceuticals (XERS) , AMMO POWW, Beyond Air (XAIR) and ProQR Therapeutics (PRQR) . “My positions change very fast and I’m actively trading all these names,” Deporre noted.
