To make money in stocks, you have to be predictive – not reactive. The good news is, once you line up all the predictive factors – like the ones I use to rank stocks with my Quantum Edge system – you'll zero in on winners before all the other investors have even heard of them at all. In fact, out of my Top 20 stocks I provide weekly to my institutional and hedge-fund clients, only a handful tend to be household names.
Read nowThe first half of 2023 was the Nasdaq’s best in 40 years. It wasn’t quite that history-making for the S&P 500, but it was still that bellwether’s best showing in four years.

Read nowSix months ago, I don’t think anybody would have predicted which exchange-traded fund would lead the ETF rankings in my Quantum Edge system halfway through the year. You know I think investors can make more money in individual stocks, but ETFs are valuable vehicles… and they’re a good source for stock ideas. Even surprising ones.
Read nowTrading volume drops every summer. You might think that means quiet and sleepy trading, but the opposite is often the case. It can be a difficult environment in which to make money. Except for those big Wall Street firms that use supercomputer firepower – and information gleaned from trades made by investors like you – to make money even when volume is low. Here's how it works... and how to exact a measure of revenge.

Of being so afraid of getting bitten again that we bail out of stocks and get left behind... like right now as the new bull market appears.
Read nowIt’s certainly true that technology stocks, especially semiconductor stocks, and other growth companies have led the market’s big rally since last fall.

Read nowTradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan recently asked me to sit down for a midyear check-in: To see what I’m looking for in stocks, and to get some thoughts on what investors should be doing right now.
