Hard Pass on Two of Your Favorite Stocks
Note from Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily:
Today I’m sharing a recent video from Lucas Downey featured in Power Trends+, a free newsletter all about the institutional capital driving great stocks higher over time.
In this video, Lucas takes four tickers submitted by readers and grades them on fundamental, technical, and balance sheet metrics.
Check out Lucas’ breakdown below, and don’t forget to submit your own stock ideas to [email protected] for another round of analysis due out to you next week.
Separating Winners from Losers in Your Top Picks
By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily
Every time you decide to buy a stock, you’re rejecting thousands of others.
That’s why it’s so critical to understand how to find tomorrow’s winners… and more importantly, avoid the big losers.
We saw plenty of ideas come through the Power Trends+ inbox. And today, I’ll break down four of those names… giving two a “hard pass” and the other two a “buy.” Check it out below.
While we go in-depth on some key metrics in this video, remember that my colleague Jason Bodner’s Quantum Score does a lot of the heavy lifting for us.
The Quantum Score is built from three factors of a stock: fundamentals, technicals, and Big Money – the institutional investors that move the market. The most important and unique is that third piece: the volume and momentum of the Big Money.
It analyzes all this data to give us a single picture of any company – and fast.
As just one of countless examples, the Quantum Score found a pick that gets lost in the AI noise: health insurance giant Humana.
In backtesting, it identified HUM before its meteoric 9,415% rise. That’s 94 times your money – with one well-chosen stock.
Quantum Edge Pro subscribers get unlimited access to the Quantum Score, including the three factors that make it up. Type in any ticker you want, and see if it lands in Jason’s “sweet spot” and earns a buy signal.
