Don’t fear volatility, focus on businesses: 5 mid-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 27%

For all those who thought that a bullish market doesn't see volatility, the way the street has behaved in the last few days is a reminder that volatility is integral to any market. Now, is there any point in trying to guess when this phase of volatility will end? Not really. It may end this week, or it may continue for some time. That, however, does not mean you should continue to look at stocks with the bearish bias that six months of decline is bound to have created. So, be somewhat bullish, but not reckless. At this juncture, the key is to keep an eye on the Q1 earnings. That will play an important role in how things pan out in the medium term.
