If the goal is to find stocks to buy when prices are lower rather than higher, it stands to reason that the time to go looking for the best stocks to buy is right now.
After all, the market is off by more than a fifth so far this year, which means it's probably safe to assume that most investors are fearful. And if most investors are fearful, well… doesn't Warren Buffett say that this is the time to get at least a little bit greedy?

Finding quality stocks to buy when seemingly everything is selling off is easier said than done, of course. And if you're looking for help from Wall Street analysts, good luck. There's a saying about analysts: "In a bull market you don't need them; in a bear market you don't want them."
That's far too harsh as an assessment - but understandable as a sentiment. It's well known that Wall Street analysts are reluctant to slap Sell calls on the stocks they cover. There are a number of reasons for this reticence, but that's a discussion for another day.
Perhaps less well known is that analysts are also pretty stingy when it comes to bestowing the highest conviction Buy recommendations on the names they follow.
As of Sept. 22, only five stocks in the S&P 500 carried consensus recommendations of Sell or Strong Sell, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. At the other end of the ratings spectrum, 392 of the index's 500 stocks had consensus recommendations of Buy or Strong Buy.
That's far too many Buy calls, to be sure. We know for a fact that the vast majority of stocks turn out to be duds. Research shows that the entirety of the $75.7 trillion in net global stock market wealth created between 1990 a

Let's say you purchase a used car from a dealership and later want to bring it back for a refund. Do you have the legal right to get your money back regardless of the reason? Does the "Three-Day Cooling Off Period" apply?
That's what "Mack" thought.
‘I Looked Under the Seats and Found Drug Paraphernalia!'
"I bought a used SUV two days ago and want to take it back to the dealer for a refund, but when I told them why they laughed at me and refused," Mack told me in a call recently.
When I asked if there was anything mechanically wrong with the vehicle, he replied, "No, it drives fine, but it is what I found under the front seats that scares me: dangerous drug paraphernalia." His tone of voice grew increasingly strident the longer we spoke.
And what was he looking for under the front seats?

"For money or jewelry sometimes that winds up there, but instead I found vaping equipment! That's illegal! I don't know what other illegal items are in the car, and I want my money back! Also, don't I have three days to cancel the contract?"
I explained to Mack that while there is such a thing as a Three-Day Cooling-Off Rule, in most all cases - including this one - it doesn't apply to car purchases. And besides, in his state, mere possession of vaping hardware is not illegal. Unless he had the right to bring the car back for a refund - spelled out in the sales contract - the dealership could decline his request.
Car Buyers Shouldn't Believe the 3-Day Myth
