Contrarian investing involves purchasing stocks that are currently unpopular or undervalued, such as ServiceNow (down 41% YTD) and ELF Beauty (down 27% YTD with a 15 forward P/E ratio), which can offer significant long-term gains despite short-term market volatility; this strategy requires patience and dollar-cost averaging to capitalize on market corrections while maintaining portfolio diversification.

Every Investor Do This NOW! (Best Stock Market Play For May!)Added:
Hey guys, welcome back to another video.
Portfolio is down today, not in my usual setting, but still wanted to bring this to you guys because there's a ton going on in the market, no matter what is going on. But we have a lot to talk about today, the market state and what I'm doing. So, want to get into that as soon as possible. But all that I ask is that you guys do smash that like button.
Also, subscribe to the channel. I really appreciate the recent support. Let's get right into the video. So, United States Oils Fund, please stop this. Please stop the oil prices. You know, I I drive a truck. I get 8 miles per gallon. I'm not happy about this. We're at 143 on the oil on USO's price. We're up 4% just on the day today. So, not very happy about that. You know, we're really close to all-time highs for oil. And then now is not a good time to fill up your car for many reasons. The S&P today actually rebounded very nicely. I had a very red beginning to the day, very weak consumer index report. not amazing uh but rebounded very nicely because nothing can stop this market you know no matter what we're going to go green seems like it but fear and greed index this is still strong in the greed territory we are very near extreme greed uh you know it's looking very green very strong per usual so I'm very happy about that I think that this is something that you know as an investor you always want to check in on this periodically just to see how other investors are feeling this is a pretty good measure of that so be sure to always periodically check in on that but also with the bigger picture of things, oil prices, you know, global tensions, things of that nature. You got to look at the news. We see Trump, uh, we see, I mean, there's obviously never a right source out there. You know, if you look at the news, you're going to get 20 different answers, but we see that over here, battle over the street of Hormuz leaves safe passage a gamble.
Uh, Iran war updates, Trump says Iran must make deal or face renewed attacks.
There's everything says something different. Then we see USI ceasefire on life support. Uh, so I mean, no matter what you read, you're going to find something different. But the overall picture always kind of looks like it's about to end. But it's been looking like that for a month or two now. So, I'm not sure how to feel what I'm doing in this market. This is the most important thing. This is the main takeaway that I want you guys to get from this video is there's a bunch of stocks that are screaming buys at these levels. You can ride the AI rally. You can do that. You can hop on the AI wave. You can hop on the train on Micron. You know, you can go and buy Nvidia. You guys can do that.
That's fine. But I'm going to buy my hated stocks. I'm going to buy my stocks that everyone else hates that I think are going to do pretty nicely. I think we're going to get some pretty good gains on these over the next couple of years. Over the next decade, we're going to see these stocks perform very nicely.
First one being Service Now. Service Now is a stock that is down 41% year to date. I talk about the stock all the time, so I'm not going to go in depth on it, but if you guys know Service Now, you know that they're they're partners with a lot of big businesses. We're talking over, you know, 80% of the S&P 500 uses Service Now. So, keep that in mind. This one's down 41%. It's an AI native company that is actually treated as a software company. They're priced as one and they're very cheap buy right now. One of my largest holdings in my portfolio is screaming buy at this level. This is my biggest stock. I know you guys are skeptical because this is a stock I talk about a lot. ELF Beauty is a stock that I am very into. This is a very cheap stock. They're down 27% year to date. This is the lowest ELF has ever been in my eyes. I've seen ELF get into the 40s before, but 55 and actually having, you know, the buying power that I have now, this is good. I'm getting into ELF. I'm getting very deep into ELF. And for this reason right here, unless there's a huge problem in ELF, you know, I'm talking management is messing up. You know, their sales are plummeting. Why would they have a 15 forward P ratio? I mean, I get that, you know, ELF is going to have some short-term price impacts. Obviously, oil and, you know, consumers are going to be a little fickle. Uh, but besides that, you know, these are short-term headwinds. These are things that aren't going to last forever. You're telling me ELF's down 27%. It has a 15 Ford P ratio for reasons that it's not going to last forever.
That That's a pretty screaming buy to me. That's a screaming buy to me. I think E.L.F. is a very good buy. And we've we've seen this before. You know, I'm just saying that this is something we've seen before. In the past 5 years, ELF Beauty has been $55. It's been cheaper even. You know, we see look at this. You know, it was about a year, maybe almost a year and a half ago, E.L.F. was even cheaper. And right after that, what did it do? bounced back up.
Every time ELF has been this price, it's bounced back up. So, ELF is a very volatile stock. It moves in waves. It's a very good stock. If you want to swing trade, uh, you know, it's pretty predictable. But this one right now, I think we're seeing a drop that ELF ELF is still having the same growth rates.
If anything, ELF is a better company than they were when they were at $200.
So, buying this one at $50 is an obvious buy to me. And, you know, it might it might hurt in the short term. It might get worse before it gets better. But I think ELF, you know, they're not perfect, like I'm saying, you know, but they have a better they're better than a 15 Ford P. So revenue, we see just this last quarter, uh, they actually had a 37.8% increase year-over-year, EPS of A124, exceeding estimates by over 100%.
Growth streak marked 28 consecutive quarters of net sales growth. Are they failing that next quarter? Don't think so. Guidance raised. They raised their guidance for fiscal year 2026. Net sales growth projected at 22 to 23% with adjusted IBIDA of 323 to 326 million.
ELF is this company at 15 FordP? You tell me. I don't think so. Might have some short-term headwinds, but long term going to be a great company. Celsius just made a video on this one. Not going to go into depth. This one's still a buy. This one's even more of a buy than it was. You know, these stocks might get hit in the short term, you know, consumer stocks, but it's good to have them in your portfolio. It's good for the diversity, and these are stocks that in the long term, they're going to play out very nicely. So overall thoughts on this is it's going to get worse before it gets better. You know, it might happen with the consumer, with the way oil prices are moving. I mean, I think it really might get worse before it gets better. We might see ELF drop 10 more%.
We might see Celsius drop 10 more% before it starts going back up. Am I here for the ride? You better believe it. I'm here for it. I'm Give me Celsius shares at, you know, $20 per share. Give me them at $15 per share. Cut this company in half. You know, give me ELF shares at $40 a share. you know, I I I need these companies in my portfolio for cheaper and consumers are fickle and AI is running. So AI is what everyone's putting their money into. You know, I'm always the one buying the hated stocks.
And it seemed to work out so far. It seemed to work out for my portfolio so far. So I'm not going to stop doing it.
Uh yes, I have some AI exposure. AMD is my largest position. So it's not like I don't own AI, but I'm not running into it. You know, I'm not trying to chase anything. So if you guys are doing that, you know, all props to you. I hope it works out. But I think that this is the play long term. Also, dollar cost averaging is your best friend in this market. That's something you want to do in this market if you want to make money in the long term is dollar cost average is just the best thing to do when investing so you can get into the stock for best price possible. But long term, this is a golden opportunity. I really hope that you guys don't miss this. I'm putting this in front of your face right here. You know, I with utter confidence can say that ELF is going to be a much more valued stock, you know, 10 years down the line from now. So, that's all I have for today's video, guys. If you did enjoy, be sure to smash that like button. Also, subscribe to the channel.
I really appreciate the recent support.
Sorry I missed a video yesterday. It was the first time I missed a video in a very long time. But in the hospital right now, you know, have some things going on. But still wanted to get a video to you guys. So, thank you guys so much. I will catch you in the next one.
Peace.
