For our top pick in 2017, I used my guru-based screening application to look for stocks with high scores from at least two of my guru models, explains John Reese, editor of Validea.

I focused on fundamental strategies based on Buffett, Graham, Lynch, Zweig, Neff and a number of others and stocks with the lowest relative strength, meaning the stocks that have underperformed the most over the past 12 months.

Since this is an aggressive pick, we can look for a name that looks to be extremely oversold and being priced for a worst case scenario.

These are the types of stocks that Ben Graham called cigar butt stocks in the sense that you may be able to pick them up and take one last, but really good puff and get it for virtually free.

One of the stocks that meets this criteria is GNC Holdings (GNC), an $890 million specialty retailer of health, wellness and performance products.

Yet some individual companies had good news that sent their shares higher despite the downbeat mood generally. Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX), Amarin (NASDAQ:AMRN), and California Resources (NYSE:CRC) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.
