In Jim's book "Mad Money", he states that a strategy he likes to pursue is to do the opposite of what the Wall Street analysts are doing, specifically if a stock is moving in the opposite direction of the analysts. For instance, if all the analysts have a "Sell" rating on a stock, but the stock is up 50% off of its lows, then it’s a good time to buy. How come? As Jim says in the book, "[the analysts] are bad at admitting mistakes." Once they are proven wrong, "[they will] hide their shame for getting it wrong." And this is how he games the moment when analysts start upgrading.

Here are 10 stocks that fit this criteria:

At least 10% of Analysts have a Sell rating
Stock is more than 50% off its 52 week low
Stock sells for less than 12x cash flow

know who benefits if he didn't say what
industries. we can all make
"predictions" on stimulus. and

news media, namely our favorite to hate,
