Power Trends+: The AI Outliers You Should Be Watching Right Now 

July 2, 2024 Hidden PowerTrends (2025)

Lucas Downey

Watch now…


As we begin the second half of 2024, things are a little backwards right now.

It may surprise you – even concern you – that most stocks in the S&P 500 are underperforming that important benchmark index.

That’s scary for investors… right? Well, not exactly.

It’s a rare anomaly that actually points to a great opportunity because those current laggards are likely to catch up, making them tomorrow’s winners. To prove it, my fellow TradeSmith analyst and business partner Luke Downey shows you a fascinating study in today’s Power Trends+ that you won’t hear about anywhere else.

He also takes a deep dive into two incredible stocks that you should keep your eyes on during this pullback: Super Micro Computer (SMCI) and Arista Networks (ANET). Both are AI powerhouses with a ton of continued growth potential.

SMCI and ANET are both winners in the S&P 500 and my Quantum Edge system, as I talked about in yesterday’s Power Trends. Even better, I’ve already recommended one to my Quantum Edge Pro subscribers and one to TradeSmith Investment Report.

To learn even more about these companies and how you can start receiving my stock recommendations for yourself, click here to check out the most recent Power Trends issue (if you haven’t already).

We’ll be back next week with an all-new Power Trends+ video analysis. As always, make sure to send in your tickers – or anything else you’d like us to talk about – to [email protected].

I also want to wish you a Happy Fourth of July! Hopefully you have some nice profits so far in 2024 to brag about at your backyard barbeques.

Remember, the market will be closed on Thursday and open half of the day tomorrow. Our TradeSmith offices will also be closed Thursday and Friday to celebrate the holiday. I’ll be back Saturday with a regularly-scheduled Power Trends issue.

Talk soon,

3 Ways to Make Earnings Season Profitable Instead of Perilous

October 23, 2023TradeSmith Research Team

For a “quant” guy (and total numbers geek) like me, quarterly earnings seasons are some of the best times of the year. We get updated numbers that my system analyzes to generate fresh Quantum Scores for more than 6,000 stocks – a process that spotlights the very best companies and the very best stocks to buy. But let’s face it... earnings season can be scary, too.

X-Ray Vision Isn’t Just for Superheroes – It Can Make Us a Lot of Money

July 22, 2024Lucas Downey

As a kid, I really wanted X-ray glasses. Once they arrived in the mail, though, it didn’t take long to realize it was all a sham. They never worked as advertised. They were just flimsy plastic with cardboard where the lenses should be and a tiny pinhole covered with transparent material. This supposedly gave the illusion of X-rays. I was so disappointed. I quickly realized it wasn’t about seeing my bones or fighting crime so much as it was wanting an ability others didn’t have. Over the years, I’ve thought about that often. Because in the end, I made my own version of X-ray glasses.

These Stocks Outperform Even in Election Years

Kobe 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.
