Best & Worst Plays Of Quarter

Before you dive headfirst into the second quarter, let's review the best and worst of Q1.

Should you stay long, take profits or cut losses?

Top 5 S&P Performers YTD
Zions 70%
Genworth 63%
Smith Int'l 57%
Tyson 56%
Cliffs 54%

Bottom 5 S&P Performers YTD
H&R Block -21%
Boston -19%
AES -17%
First Energy -16%
Southwestern -15%

What’s the trade?

In the top 5 I like Genworth, says Guy Adami, even at these levels.

From this list I like companies involved in food, says Jared Levy on the Halftime Report. I'd go long Tyson and I’m also bullish on ADM – not only as ag plays but because both names have been beaten up recently.

I like that thesis, adds Patty Edwards of Storehouse -- I’m also looking at unloved stocks – but unloved stocks that also pay dividends, she says. Coke fits that criteria as does Arrow Electronics.
