Certain stocks look ready for a comeback. Trading at or near a 52-week low and with several catalysts forming around them, the worst looks to be over for certain stocks that trade in the benchmark S&P 500 index. While their internal operations and earnings might be improving, these stocks are also likely to rise if

The big money might be feeling a bit queasy about overexposure to risk-on assets, presenting a framework to follow regarding the best stocks to buy in April.

Diversification is the key to create a portfolio that consistently beats inflation and index returns. In the current global scenario, an important part of diversification is exposure to global stocks. Over the next few decades, emerging market GDP growth will be higher than that of developed markets.

With all the positive momentum behind the sector, betting on the best social media stocks to buy in April would be prudent.
