] to seal the bottom, Jordan tells us, “it’s very hard for me to look at the markets where they are and look at valuation on a normalized basis and think we have a lot more risk.”
If that’s the case, are some stocks trading at fire sale prices? For insights we turned to strategic investor, Dennis Gartman, author of the Gartman Letter.
“It’s time to become bullish,” says Gartman. “Buying stocks these days is almost like shopping at a five and dime." In other words, they're real bargains out there. "This week I started buying stocks." Before the show Gartman provided our producers with a list of the stocks he recommends.

Why these companies? “Because they're the maker of real things," says Gartman. "Things that if you dropped on your foot they would hurt. It’s time to stand up and say I want to own wonderful companies that have been around for years and pay dividends,” he says. "And most of these stocks have stopped making new lows."
