In today’s Power Trends+ video, we are reminded of the importance of investing in great companies, not just a great story. You and your fellow readers continue to send in impressive tickers for us to analyze, and even those that are lackluster allow us to demonstrate what to look out for when finding winning stocks.
Read nowThe biggest and best investments are often in companies leading the way in megatrends, future-altering ideas, and cutting-edge innovation. Next-generation ideas can produce generational profits. You might be thinking artificial intelligence, computer networking, and robotic medicine. All true. But there’s another massive trend I want to look at today. One that goes back more than 100,000 years. That’s when the first homes were built.
Read nowKobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, embodied this pursuit of excellence with what he called his “Mamba Mentality.” He wanted to be better each day then he was the day before. “it’s the process of doing better every day – and doing that for a period of years – that then creates a masterpiece.” I didn’t think about it day to day, but thanks to those early pushes, I was in full Mamba Mentality while spending an estimated 30,000 hours, at least $250,000, and significant brainpower developing my Quantum Edge stock rating system.
Read nowWe ask you to let us know what stocks you would like us to analyze, and wow did you respond. We have well over 50 tickers on the list, so I decided to once again run them all through my Quantum Edge system to see how they ranked overall and in terms of fundamentals, technicals, and Big Money inflows. In this Power Trends+ video issue, I’ll walk you through the top four and bottom four of the stocks you’ve asked about.
Read nowWe continue to follow the AI boom closely here in Power Trends, and we’ve talked about some of the biggest winners like Super Micro Computer (SMCI). Every AI company that has reached a $1 trillion market cap has made its investors rich. My colleague Eric Fry – the Global Macro specialist at InvestorPlace – believes he found the next one.
Read nowDoes the idea of a car that drives itself excite you or scare you? Probably both. Taking a nap, watching a movie, or getting things done (like analyzing stocks!) while en route to your destination sounds pretty appealing. Not to mention not having to deal with other drivers. But “trusting” a 4,000-pound vehicle to safely stop, start, turn, slow down, speed up, and react the millions of ways a human driver would is frightening.
Read nowI saw an interesting tweet the other day that got me thinking. Sorry, I guess I should say I saw an interesting “post” on X – the platform formerly known as Twitter. Crazy name changes aside, BNN Bloomberg anchor Jon Erlichman posted a list of 19 top stocks and what they would be worth today if anyone invested $10,000 15 years ago. These are some of the whoppers. Returns ranged from nearly 40,000% in Nvidia (NVDA) to a “mere” 1,014% in Starbucks (SBUX). They are all well-known brands and companies. And chances are pretty good you own or have owned one or more through the years…
Read nowThere’s something really interesting happening right now with the market and sector rankings. Sectors that used to be consistently stuck in the middle are now leading the pack – Energy, Industrials, and Financials are currently the top three. But the most surprising for me is Utilities. It rose from being the second weakest sector in my Quantum Edge system for a long time to fourth place in just a few weeks – and over the past three months it’s been the top-performing sector in the S&P 500. Mind blown.
Read nowWhen a doctor reads an x-ray, that physician doesn’t really need to know why a bone is broken to know the right way to treat it. It doesn’t really matter if the patient was trying to be Superman on his kids’ backyard trampoline or makes millions of dollars a year getting banged around as a professional athlete. The what – that broken bone – is more important than the why.
Read nowAI is coming for your job. Sounds like a scare tactic, right? But it’s becoming a reality. Job loss used to be like Willy Loman in “Death of a Salesman.” You get older, and you get pushed out. Next-generation job loss is becoming even more threatening.
Read nowAs an investor, I love hearing about “Woodstock for Capitalists” – Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting where folksy and brilliant Warren Buffett spins yarns, shares insights, and tells shareholders how much money they’re making. It’s a who’s who of defining investors… because Warren Buffett is there.
Read nowI’m in the hot seat! And I’m not the only one. Luke is, too. It’s all in fun with some deep analysis thrown in as we shake things up with today’s Power Trends+ and go head-to-head with our quantitative stock-picking system.
