3 Top-Ranked Stocks for the Summer Travel Season

Jason Bodner

I’m always looking for trends to identify great stocks. And one just smacked me right in the face. I’m on vacation with my family traveling in Spain and Portugal. So far, I’ve been to four cities. The streets are packed, the restaurants are full, the hotels are booked, and the flights are oversold. The optic test tells me the travel and leisure market is vibrant right now. That makes sense. School is out, summer is here, and people are ready to take that vacation time. According to a Bank of America survey, 70% of respondents are planning to travel this summer. They also plan to travel for longer and spend more compared to previous years.

Jason Bodner

It continued for several weeks, as I watched the stock price soar each time this client bought more shares – ultimately leading to a 70% increase. Those weeks transformed my view of investing. From my unique vantage point heading up a trading desk, I saw firsthand how this type of buying moved stocks. And it put me on a mission – one that culminated in the quantitative analytics system I developed and still use today. On Monday, we went over the first step in picking money-making stocks: analyzing the most important fundamentals. Today, I’ll give you an inside look at the next steps to building your wealth by finding superior companies to invest in.

Big-Time Splits Are Usually Big-Time Opportunities

Jason Bodner

Stock splits have been around for a long time, but June brings a couple of whoppers – including one of the biggest in history. The data is clear that stock splits can be big opportunities for investors. Coca-Cola (KO), one of Warren Buffett’s main holdings, has split 11 times in the last 105 years. If someone bought one share of KO in 1919 when it debuted and willed that investment to future generations, that single share would now amount to 9,216 shares. That $40 investment would be worth more than $580,000.

Power Trends+: These Stocks Could Follow Nvidia’s Lead 

Jason Bodner

tock splitting is all the rage right now... and that’s good for investors. We have a couple of big-time splits here in June, which I’ll talk about and analyze for you tomorrow. Nvidia (NVDA) is the first as shares began trading following a 10-for-1 split Monday morning, dropping the price per share from $1,208.88 to $120.88. That’s much more affordable. But in today’s Power Trends+, my fellow TradeSmith analyst and business partner Luke Downey shows you an interesting study on why these splits are quite bullish.

That system powers my stock recommendations in The TradeSmith Investment Report and other research publications I produce. I use it for myself and my family. I would never buy or recommend a stock without it. I sell the results to hedge funds, institutions, and professional traders. And I want to share a summary of how it works… how you can pick the big winners that people talk about. The stocks that make you money.

Jason Bodner

We’re fortunate to live in a time with some of the best wealth-building opportunities in the history of the world. And building wealth is the whole point. Why else invest? Many of these massive opportunities come in companies that are reshaping our world – like AI darlings, tech innovators, cybersecurity stalwarts, robots, and other life-changing juggernauts. But the road to riches is also paved with what I sometimes call Stable Mabels. Every investor needs some of those in their portfolios, too.

Beware This Year’s Big Gainers

Jason Bodner

The best stocks aren’t always the best stocks. In fact, they can be dangerous. We all want to own stocks that go up more than any other, but the ones that zoom in eye-popping fashion are often extremely small or extremely speculative. Investors might pile in and hope for the best on one headline, and then they might bail just as quickly on the next headline. You might get lucky and make good money, depending on the timing. But the probability is much higher that you will come out bruised in the end.

Landing the Moby Dick of Stocks and Making Thousands of Percent

Jason Bodner

My dad is sitting on a nearly 4,000% gain. I watched his $5,650 turn into $227,000… and counting. (I’ve also watched my own $10,000 turn into $0. That’s a story – and important lesson – for another day.) It started in 2017 when my dad asked me about this new-to-him company he heard about: Nvidia (NVDA). We’ve all heard about it now, but I knew it then, as well, as I had already created my Quantum Edge system, and NVDA was flashing in all the right spots.
