Some trees stand up tall on windy days while all around them - limbs, branches, trunks and even some roots are suffering.  Before the storm, many trees look majestic and healthy and it’s only when the strong wind blows that we find out what they are really made of.  On days like that, I admire the trees that seem unaffected by even the strongest gust and because they stick out in the worst moments, they are easy to remember when things calm down.   Today is one of those windy days where a lot of hidden weaknesses are being exposed and it’s discouraging to see what we have been ignoring.  Hopefully you are not panicking, but are taking care of your most urgent needs.  When things settle down, do not pass up this great opportunity to find the stocks that held strong.  They’ll be pretty easy to spot and you should really spend some time getting familiar with them and why they did so well on such a bad day.  Many of these are probably worth looking at as buys.
