Great fundamentals, strong analyst sentiment, big institutional buying... and stocks still down twenty, thirty, even fifty percent from their highs. So what gives? Thomas breaks down why this summer's swings have been so disconnected from the actual news, what catalyst could bring "smart money" back to the table in September, and why he thinks the recent pullbacks in these five names are buying opportunities and not warning signs.
