The Off-Wall-Street Secret to Finding Stock Megatrends

Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI).

 

When Andy and Landon Swan started analyzing social media data, they weren’t chasing trends.  

They were looking for new ones… or old ones whose time in the sun had come and gone. 

One early test revealed something strange: Mentions of Ugg boots had suddenly disappeared right ahead of the holidays. 

It was such a stark shift from what they saw before, they thought their data must be wrong. 

It wasn’t. Weeks later, Ugg’s parent company, Deckers Outdoor (DECK), warned of weak sales, and the stock plunged 20%. 

That was the lightbulb moment. Since then, the Swans’ LikeFolio data engine has predicted major consumer shifts long before Wall Street caught on — including breakout winners like Celsius (CELH), Hims & Hers (HIMS), and Robinhood Markets (HOOD). 

Now they’ve joined forces with legendary quant Louis Navellier, combining his A-rated fundamentals with their Social Heat Score. 

In backtests, this strategy outperformed the S&P 500 by 15X, finding more than 240 doubles in five years. 

In my latest TradeSmith Daily interview, the Swans reveal: 

  • The mega trends lighting up their dashboards right now 
  • How small brands become massive winners 
  • And why their new collaboration with Louis could change how you invest.

Combining the Swans’ Social Heat Score and Louis Navellier’s Stock Grader into the Ultimate Stock Strategy could be a gamechanger… 

Adding to a list of winners that already include Coinbase Global (COIN) and Robinhood, both triple-digit winners for the Swans. And Louis’ top gains, which include Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN), and Netflix (NFLX). 

Equally important, it steers you away from stocks that fail to bring you the trifecta of online buzz, solid fundamentals, and price momentum. 

Louis, Landon, and Andy will be revealing all the details during a special event next Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET. 

I hope you’ll clear some time in your schedule to join us. The holidays will be here before you know it. And we aim to deliver at least one more stock that doubles by Christmas.

It’s officially bull season. Yes, you read that right. Even with stocks up 12% this year… and despite last week’s volatility… bull season begins NOW.
