Rough, scary day in the market, and it's okay to feel it. Markets have bounced back from drops before, and I expect this one to as well. For me, days like this are for research, so I used Stock Meadow's scoring model to find the companies to buy. $WTRG is ranked #12 in utilities balanced with a score of 65.
