Investing.com –Investors rattled by the accelerating global tariff war may feel like there’s nowhere to hide. The S&P 500 has fallen more almost 10% as of this writing since tensions began escalating ahead of Liberation Day, with most sectors pulling back sharply.

But not all investors are crumbling under the pressure.

Those able to pick the best stocks in the market are actually sailing through this storm with better-than-average results.

Such is the case of our AI members, who, for less than $10 a month, received these winning picks at the start of the year - later reiterated at the latest rebalance at the start of April, such as:

  • Cencora (NYSE:COR), which is up 29.04% since January 1, managed to hit a record high on Friday, while the markets tanked.

  • McKesson (NYSE:MCK), which is up 19.87% since February 1, also hit a record high in Friday’s session, before retreating later on.

  • Both stocks remain in positive territory for April despite the broader market sinking.

In fact, thanks to these financially solid picks and others like them, our Beat the S&P 500 strategy is crushing the market—outperforming the S&P 500 by an impressive 12% year to date and continuing to lead this month as well.

Even amid the selloff, the superior fundamentals of these picks prevented a sharper drop, with the composed strategy down just 0.3% month-to-date as of this writing.
