The sell off is not fundamental. Economy is doing better, earnings are great but everything falls apart. The market correction may has nothing to do with fundamental.

*We want to buy stocks with the following characteristics:*

• Companies that have reported healthy revenue and earnings growth.

• Preferably strong balance sheet: Plenty of cash and low net debt are necessary for companies to survive, especially when companies face difficulties in terms of refinancing and a slowdown in sales.

• Sustainably high margins and ROIC: These are good indicators of the business moat.

• Medium to large market cap. Small-cap stocks tend to drop more than bigger caps during a bear market.

• Prefers dividend payments that would not be interrupted.
