I track a list of 3 COVID 19 Stock ideas.

Harmed is an equally weighted basket of 33 stocks that would stand to get their butt kicked by COVID19 and the resulting shutdown.

Beneficiaries is an equally weighted basket of 33 stocks that one could imagine would benefit; such as

Work from Home is an equally weighted portfolio of 9 stocks that should benefit from more people working from home.

Here is how they have performed YTD including the S&P 500 benchmark

Here are the stats form the YTD period
