6-17 Pod - 🚀 Top 2nd Half 2025 Stocks to BUY NOW! | AI Gains, Market Moves & Insider Picks 🔥📈

The 3 types of tools every investor and trader needs and why the ones I chose saved me hours per day

My Take

No matter how I try and cover the news, the second I release an episode or a newsletter, it’s already dated so I avoided the headline Middle East news today as it will change. Just realize the market is REALLY looking for a reason to sell off right now and even the threat of the US getting involved in the war is NOT pushing the markets down. This is a “buy the dip” market, but what’s the upside? I think that is going to be based on your timeframe. That’s why I went from looking at yearly candles yesterday to looking at monthly today. Tomorrow I will look at weekly candles but it’s a way to show you - long term some of these catalysts don’t matter - short term they do. So making sure you have your timeframe in mind when you are looking at buying anything is incredibly important.

Top 2nd Half 2025 Stocks Event - TODAY AT NOON (EST)

Noon today - get the FREE 7 day trial and attend it - buy the top 2025 2nd half stocks and then cancel if you don’t use Seeking Alpha Premium, but this is like getting a FREE gift and then saying “no thanks - I don’t want to make money”. Even if you miss the noon event - get the 7 day trial and buy the stocks after the hype.

Get the 7 day trial and use the tool to see if it helps - here’s one of the places I get some of my picks from

And remember - the Quant is a HUGE advantage when you’re looking for opportunities

Alpha Picks yesterday - a cool scalped profit for me

Alpha Picks yesterday - wasn’t a huge 10%, but I played it for as much as you’ve made in $VOO in the last 5 and a half months - but I made it in 45 minutes.

The 3 tools I use

You can approach the market in a way that makes YOU comfortable. I have found the keys are:

  1. A fundamental tool - Use Finviz for free or Seeking Alpha to save you time. If time is an issue and you don’t feel organized with a free tool like finviz - Seeking Alpha is the way to do it.

  2. A technical tool - I used Active Trader Pro for years when I was really investing while I had a full time job. I used it for day trading and momentum trading, but Trendspider just made things faster - how? I was able to scan and have those scans emailed to me every morning. I could have a list of stocks available to go through and easily look at charts. Taking 2 hours a day reviewing things down to less than 15 minutes was worth the price.

  3. A rules based portfolio that outperforms the S&P historically - that’s Alpha Picks. It’s easy, I just put a portion of my portfolio in to this portfolio and it teaches me something new almost weekly with their articles about the stocks in their portfolio and why they hold them.

Big picture to smaller picture - Monthly Candles

Yesterday I looked at yearly candles … today lets look at monthly for $qqq and $spx

$QQQ monthly charts - go and compare this to the yearly ones I posted yesterday.
The S&P 500 monthly charts. Notice anything?

Th Big Short guy says “Don’t worry”

I saw an interview with Steve Eisman who was one of the players in the big short - he called the housing crisis. His main message - the deficit matters but don’t panic. He is not calling for a huge catalyst down like he was in 2005.

One thing I thought was interesting is they bring up stable coins as NOT the alternative to the US dollar being the default currency. It’s probably not - but $CRCL continues to soar

It’s clearly an AI market

And don’t be fooled - it’s an ai market - this was great - just tune out the news - it’s an AI market. AI spending and adoption is the greatest product in history.

Look at the daily gainers yesterday from the S&P - I counted 6 that are tied to AI - go ahead and google the top S&P YTD winners - I counted 6 that are tied to AI in there too. So it’s NOT just AI stocks that are gaining.

One thing it is not is a SOLAR market. The housing stocks might turn around as we saw $LEN give good forward guidance and the supply of housing seems to be at a very good level. If interest rates come down, these might be investable.

I called out $amd yesterday and it was the leader yesterday.

Tune out the noise - politics will be there

Iran is said to have reached out and wanted to talk about peace talks so the market wiped out all of Friday’s losses. A BUY THE DIP MARKET - don’t try and time it.

The market is looking for a reason to sell off - but each time buyers step in and it goes back up.

Leon Cooperman - my favorite CNBC guest EVER was on yesterday again

He thinks the index is going nowhere based on valuation and thinks individual stocks is the way to go

$Fihl - insurance company that should imply

$apo

$coop

$et

$kbr

$sun

His portfolio of stocks to watch from the TV yesterday - yes - I sometimes put notes like this in to my journal for watch lists

He thinks oil is going to go down - he thinks nat gas is going to be great and loves $et

He expects the 2nd half of the year to be worse than the first half - he expect oil to spike which would kill any rally

$msft and $goog are his tech investments

Insider buy - I didn’t find anything interesting on this one, but it’s one to keep an eye on

Some Stock News and Charts

Meta is going to monetize its largest app - WhatsApp

Talked about Flying car stocks yesterday - let’s talk about Drones

Which one is your favorite? There’s a LONG list in the tweet

On 5/30 I brought up the $EL was Michael Burry’s buy and “let’s find the bottom” and boom - up almost 10% yesterday

A top stock I found yesterday $GFI - let’s just look at it

$SOFI - is this a new opportunity?

$OSCR took off - I’ve talked about this one for a while - I looked up the #1 in the insurance and it’s $PUK - 36% under it’s Wall Street price target

Golden crosses - import this to your Trendspider setup

And if you don’t trust charts … $hims
