Today’s chart shows how much you can gain when a bad stock gets “less bad”…

Longtime readers know Steve’s “bad to less bad” strategy. After a company’s shares have plunged, even a partial recovery can mean a huge rally. You can find these opportunities when investors get over sudden fears, or when a struggling company finally posts some decent news. That’s what we’re seeing today…

Avon Products (AVP) is a 133-year-old beauty company.

Its “multilevel marketing” system means Avon largely counts on 5 million independent representatives to sell its goods.

The company lost money in four of the past five years on this outdated approach…

But now, Brazil-based Natura has agreed to buy Avon early next year.

And in the most recent quarter, Avon lost just $19.5 million on $1.2 billion in sales, beating Wall Street estimates.

That’s still not great… but it’s less bad. And while AVP shares are still far below their highs, they’ve tripled from their December lows. Once a stock is left for dead, it doesn’t take much for shares to soar…

MAJOR BUY ALERT: Mar-a-Lago/Trump/Elon [sponsor]
I recently visited Mar-a-Lago... And now I'm prepared to put my reputation on the line. Since 1998, my proprietary system would've returned 13,126% in backtests. (That's 13X the S&P and 106X the average investor, according to JP Morgan.) However, one investment I just uncovered could be my biggest winner of all... It involves President Trump, Elon Musk, trillions of dollars, China... And a MAJOR upgrade to the artificial intelligence revolution. See for yourself!
