Do I know where it will bottom? No. Because this is a biological crisis. But do I know what to buy and sell. Yes. Many of you are out of cash. You ride around with a full plate of stock. Others of you have cash.

In a market stricken ill from the ever-growing coronavirus, it might be tempting to quarantine your cash from a swift, take no prisoners correction. But with history as our guide, its time to buy three otherwise healthy, but extremely oversold coronavirus stocks. These stocks will survive today's diseased market as well as thrive in your trading account.As of Thursday's close, the past four sessions have resulted in the broader market's most punishing decline since the financial crisis. It has been more than a decade since investors have witnessed fearful selling pressure and bearish sentiment of this magnitude.Sure, 2018's correction is still larger and that market bottom remains well beneath today's prices in the likes of the S&P 500 or NASDAQ. Without question, though, this week's combination of spiraling losses of nearly 11%, along with VIX spiking to close at its most fearful levels since 2015, has been more brutal over a shorter time frame.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsTo say the least, in today's obviously risk-averse environment, there are more than a few otherwise solid-looking stocks on paper which now look like the proverbial baby thrown out with the bath water. And while some Wall Street pros are saying the price action boggles the mind, I'm reminding investors that today's blood in the streets is tomorrow's opportunity. * 10 Stocks to Buy for Your 10-Year-Old Amid the market casualties, here are three extreme and oversold stock reactions on the price charts now in position for buying. Roku (ROKU) Source: Charts by TradingViewChampion streaming video-on-demand platform Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) is our first extremely oversold stock to buy. Roku's business model is of course well-suited to people staying on the couch in lieu of the coronavirus.The platform also offers a must-have list of streaming services from Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and others that can please the entire family. Now badly-hit shares are also in position to find a technical bottom.On the weekly price chart shares have slightly penetrated a key angular trend-line. There's a modest breach coinciding with Roku piercing the lower Bollinger Band, an extreme stochastics position, and shares roughly halfway into an air pocket in-between Fibonacci support zones. All the evidence suggests a bottom is nearby in this oversold stock. Foot Locker (FL) Source: Charts by TradingViewFoot Locker (NYSE:FL) is the next of our oversold coronavirus stocks to buy. What makes Foot Locker look like a slam dunk for tomorrow's investors is the longer-term price chart. Foot Locker stock is now building a solid monthly double-bottom backed by key longer-term Fibonacci and trend-line support dating back to the financial crisis.Importantly, there's also Friday's strong market-defying bid in shares. * 7 Low-Risk Mutual Funds to Buy Now If this oversold stock still doesn't resonate with you, there's always today's earnings topper. ExxonMobil (XOM) Source: Charts by TradingViewNot that I've saved the best for last, but ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) is our final oversold stock to buy and for more than a few good reasons. With this week's slamming of shares on continued and heightened fears of a corona-driven global economic slowdown, this blue-chip's dividend is now literally the 'toast' of the town at more than 6.5%. In fact, shares just surpassed Dow Inc (NYSE:DOW) as the Dow Industrial's top paying dog.As a fundamentally well-supported annual income stream, XOM stock investors can expect to get paid for simply parking shares in their account. That's roughly five-fold what you'll find in a safe-haven such as 10-year treasuries. But what's really caught my attention in this oversold stock is that the panic selling has become so extreme, it makes ExxonMobil a knife worth catching.Technically, this week's selling pressure has taken ExxonMobil swiftly through key longer-term support as illustrated on the provided monthly chart. It has become so ugly, shares are piercing the 76% retracement level dating back to the financial crisis, while February's monthly candlestick is almost entirely outside the lower Bollinger Band! That's right, XOM is hated that much right now.Bottom-line and to take a cue from Warren Buffett on how to invest, this bloodied and oversold stock is one to buy while other investors are obviously more than a bit fearful.Investment accounts under Christopher Tyler's management do not currently own positions in any securities mentioned in this article.

You don't grab a falling knife. But you don't want to pass up a bargain. The coronavirus from China has revealed a host of potential bargains in the market's minefield. Let things settle. Wait for a nothing day with the market closing slightly higher, and some (but not all) of the panic to go away. Then, assuming you still have some cash, pounce on some dividend stocks.Source: Shutterstock With the 30-year bond trading at 1.8%, and the 10-year at 1.2%, any stock offering regular income is a bargain. Look for companies with a track record of defending their dividends, and enough earnings to sustain them. The Income RackAT&T (NYSE:T) is not one of my favorite companies. But it opened for trade Feb. 28 at about $35 per share. This means the 52-cent-per-share dividend now yields 5.82%. The telecom space is filled with fat dividends. Verizon (NYSE:VZ) yields 4.3% today. Vodafone (NYSE:VOD), which is still big internationally, yields 5.37%.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Best Quantum Computing Stocks Trading Today Just don't reach too far for yield. If the business smells a bit off, a fat yield won't change things. CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL), for instance, yields 7.84%, but it's losing money. I have the same problem with the oil patch. Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) is now yielding 6.56%, but it costs $14.7 billion to pay that out. Last year, it made just $14.3 billion.There are bargains in tech stocks, like International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM). It's offering a yield of 4.87% today. You won't get that from your bank. Or consider Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), now trading at under $40 per share with a yield of 3.6%.Speaking of banks, do you know that Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) is yielding 4.62% as trading opens? It earns that back twice over. Truist Financial (NYSE:TFC), formerly Suntrust and BB&T, is now yielding 3.55%, and Regions Financial (NYSE:RF) is yielding 4.25%. You might also look at insurers such as Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU), yielding 5.37%,Over on the pharmacy aisle, CVS Health (NYSE:CVS) is yielding 3.35%, and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) is yielding 3.84%. Among retailers, Target (NYSE:TGT) now yields 2.39%.Some of the best bargains are the data center real estate investment trusts. These are real estate companies whose warehouses are filled with servers and fiber cables, providing vital interconnects for the cloud internet. The market has favored them for years, but they're now on sale at 10% off. Digital Realty Trust (NYSE:DLR) now offers a yield of 3.55%. CyrusOne (NASDAQ:CONE) yields 3.02%. Crown Castle International (NYSE:CCI), which rents cellphone towers, yields 3.23%.I know there are people suggesting consumer staples are what you should buy. I find my WiFi connection more essential than ketchup, but Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is yielding 6.14% today. I feel safer with another Brazilian-controlled operation, Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:QSR). It owns Burger King, Popeye's and Tom Horton's. Its yield is just 3.37%.Still, not bad. When Is It Safe to Buy Dividend Stocks?While the safest bets for now are going to be in stocks offering income in the form of dividends, you may want to know when the all clear has sounded before jumping in.That all-clear will have been sounded when big-time cloud stocks come roaring back. These stocks have been beaten down terribly. I sold Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) just before the crash at almost $2,200 per share. They're now at $1,858, but they won't stay there long. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) may be bottoming at $1,300.When Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) starts looking good at $267 per share, or Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) gets recommended at $155, it's going to be time to buy. That's because capital gains will again be in fashion. The danger is that by the time the cloud kings rise again, some of the income bargains may have been swept away.Dana Blankenhorn has been a financial journalist since 1978.

The China Beige Book surveys thousands of private-sector participants in China to get a sense of what’s going on in the real economy. Right now the situation is grim, says its CEO.

After the last few trading sessions, with the markets taking a nose-dive, investors can be excused for wondering if they’re doing something wrong. They’re not. Markets run in cycles, and are sensitive to Black Swan events, two factors that are on market watchers’ minds.The economic expansion is in its eleventh year, a record streak. But with that longevity comes the worry – how much longer can this last? As for the Black Swans, the unpredictable events that hit the market but no one saw coming, one is in play right now. The coronavirus outbreak – emerging from China and now cropping up around the world – is disrupting trade and travel, with governments imposing quarantines and travel restrictions to try and cope as health officials warn that a pandemic could be on the horizon.This all just brings us back to the question: how do you find investment-grade stocks in a volatile market? There isn’t one sure answer; plenty of investment strategies can steer you toward profits. But there is one possibility that might make investing easier – just follow the insiders.Insiders – the corporate officers, board members, and others ‘in the know’ – don’t just manage the companies, they know the details. Legally, they are not supposed to trade that knowledge, or to blatantly trade on it, and disclosure rules by government regulators help to keep the insiders honest. Their honest stock transactions, however, can be highly informative. These are the people with the deepest knowledge of particular stocks. So, when they buy or sell, especially in bulk, take note!TipRanks has the tools to help you do just that. The Insiders’ Hot Stocks page shows which stocks top insiders are most active on, for both purchases and sales. You can sort insider trades by a variety of filters, including trading strategy. We’ve done some of the legwork for you, and pulled up three stocks with recent informative buy-side transactions. Here are the results.Bunge, Ltd. (BG)The first stock we’ll look at is Bunge, a global player in the food and agriculture market. Bunge works with oilseeds and grains used to make high-protein feed for livestock, as well as edible oils for commercial customers. The company buys and sells, stores, transports, and processes the raw materials for the end products. In addition, Bunge has operations in the sugar business, with sugarcane, wheat, and corn growing operations, mills, and ethanol processing facilities.Bunge’s niche is a profitable one, and it has consistently beaten earnings expectations over the past four quarters. The company’s Q4 beat, reporting EPS of $1.27 against a 22-cent forecast, was particularly strong. Consensus for the next report, due in the spring, is for 82 cents EPS.Bunge also offers investors a nice dividend. The payment, of 50 cents quarterly, annualizes to $2, and gives a yield of 4.3%. Not to mention BG’s dividend history is reliable, 18 years long and going strong.In recent days, no fewer than four insiders have made informative purchases on BG stock. These insiders include the CEO, CFO, and a member of the company’s Board of Directors – all high-level officers. Their transactions range in size from 3,750 shares worth over $199,000 to 37,000 shares now worth almost $2 million. Stock purchases on this level are more than just adjusting holdings for compensation purposes. And it gives BG stock a very positive confidence signal.This becomes clear when we consult with the analysts. 5-star analyst Kenneth Zaslow writes about BG for BMO Capital, saying, “BG’s EPS of $1.27 far exceeded consensus, as risk management, plant optimization, asset sales, and efficiency programs enabled BG to capture select opportunities, higher crush volumes, improved utilization rates, and strong oil margins… We are designating BG as our ‘Top Pick’ for 2020…”Zaslow backs his Buy rating with a $72 price target, implying an upside potential of 53%. (To watch Zaslow’s track record, click here)Even with just one recent Buy rating, BG shares are still looking strong. The stock’s average price target of $67 suggests a 43% upside from the share price of $46.87. (See Bunge stock analysis on TipRanks) Simply Good Foods Company (SMPL)Next up is food and snack company Simply Good Foods, a mid-cap player formed just three years ago as the fruit of a corporate merger. It operates in the states of Connecticut and Colorado, offering a range of nutritional snack foods including confectionery products, ready-to-drink shakes, and nutrition bars.SMPL released its fiscal Q1 results last month, and showed its third earnings beat in the last four quarters. EPS was 4.7% above estimates, at 22 cents, while revenue reflected a 26% annual gain and was reported at $152.15 million.Two of SMPL’s board members have bought heavily into the stock this month. The buys range from 10,000 shares to 89,000, and the dollar amounts range from $229,700 to $1.99 million. These purchases are interesting considering the company’s recent acquisition of a competitor. SMPL paid out $1 billion in cash and credit to buy Quest Nutrition. Despite adding some $460 million to its loan balance, SMPL was still able to post impressive quarterly results. It’s a piece of public information that helps to underline the Directors’ confidence.Wall Street is also confident in this company. Writing from Wells Fargo, 4-star analyst John Baumgartner says, “…we see an increasingly favorable 12-month risk/reward. We reiterate our thesis that FY20 revenue is setting up for a beat-and-raise path for both legacy Atkins and Quest…”Baumgartner places a Buy rating here, along with a $35 price target that indicates room for 59% upside growth. (To watch Baumgartner’s track record, click here)Deutsche Bank’s Faiza Alwy is also bullish. Alwy writes, “…solid trends in core bar and confection categories are helping drive robust growth. For legacy Atkins, this growth is entirely driven by velocity and attracting new consumers to the category who are focused on healthy eating – a trend that seems poised to continue longer-term.”Alwy’s price target of $32 implies a 45% possible upside to back a Buy rating. (To watch Alwy’s track record, click here)With 3 recent Buy-side ratings, SMPL gets a Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus. Shares are selling for $22.06, and the $33 average price target suggests an upside growth potential of 50%. (See Simply Good Foods stock analysis on TipRanks) AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (AQB)Last on our list today is a dollar stock. AquaBounty, based in Massachusetts, is a biotech company that focuses on genetically modified fish for farming. In short, AQB develops faster growing fish to make fish farming both more productive and more profitable. The company’s salmon has been approved for sale by both the US and Canadian governments. AquaBounty is also working on trout and tilapia strains.Earlier this month, the company announced a drive to raise capital through a sale of common stock. The offering was for 9 million shares at $1.50 each. A few days later, board member Randal Kirk purchased over 5 million shares at $1.50. Kirk is a 10%-plus owner of the company. An informative buy, indeed – Kirk’s purchase can be taken as a signal of confidence.AQB won’t report Q4 earnings until next week, but in Q3, the company beat the forecast by 22%. Looking ahead, the consensus is for continued improvement at the bottom line, as the company’s net loss moderates to just 1 cent per share.AquaBounty has only one recent analyst review, by Ben Klieve of National Research. Klieve’s $5 price target on the stock shows the degree of his confidence: it implies an upside growth potential of 184% for AQB. That’s a fast-growing fish. (To watch Klieve’s track record, click here)Klieve writes of the stock, “We believe in advance of its first harvest that the company will be able to formally announce customers are in hand, which we believe will not only better enable expansion but will also be a significant catalyst for the stock.” (See AQB price targets and analyst ratings on TipRanks)
