💎Alpha Pick Scalping- Charting Strong Buys, Sector Trends & Smart Small Caps! BULL MARKET 🚀

My Take

I went down the AI rabbit hole yesterday using Perplexity, Seeking Alpha’s new AI tool and Sidekick from Trendspider. IT WAS AMAZING! Honestly I could spend hours just having those conversations.

Perplexity I have a long history with and it’s my favorite tool. I’ve been using that and Google Gemini the most, but ChatGPT does interest me recently. Whatever one you choose, make sure to create tools that make it easier to use. I have Perplexity set up to send me stock ideas based on social media mentions.

Sidekick was great too. I love the different personas and what I like specifically is that it’s ONLY using Trendspider data so it definitely doesn’t hallucinate as much. The answers are 99% spot on and the quality of answer is based on the quality of the prompt. Since I get a limited amount of queries, I usually will use Perplexity to write an effective prompt and then go to Sidekick to actually start the conversation.

Seeking Alpha’s is new and it’s GLORIOUS so far. I think it’s actually using an Advanced Open AI search behind the scenes. They haven’t mentioned much about it, but I think you’re getting a premium version of response without ANY current limitations (like Sidekick).

My point is that you should be using these tools whether they are free or you pay for them. They are there to help you. Go down rabbit holes - spend time playing. Ask Sidekick about the chart you’re looking at or take a chart from any program that you use to chart and upload it to an AI and ask it to analyze it for you.

I have taken my portfolio (I’ve just uploaded the number of shares and symbols for privacy reasons) and asked it for some guidance on portfolio management. The tools are GREAT and I’ve had tremendous success with them.

Trendspider - @$50 per month is a STEAL for the natural language ability to just find what you want

When the bear market begins or the downturn starts - charts will be the way I determine that. Set alerts on the stocks or etfs you own so you don’t have to spend hours looking through all your charts.

Alpha Pick Scalping

I went live on Substack at 12pm. Let me just say it’s a large cap semi conductor stock.. up 126% YTD, but Steve mentioned in his analysis - the PEG rratio is SO low because of the growth. It’s a STRONG BUY - has been a STRONG BUY and a top stock for quite a while now.

I’ll add in that if you bought this one using the 4 hour algorithm which DOES outperform buy and hold, you’re up 55% in the last 41 days. Many listeners who joined me live on Substack mentioned they already owned it - why?

TOP STOCK in SEEKING ALPHA

4 HOUR ALGORITHM

A lot of listeners have listened and are finding good companies with good products with good profits and good management.

I was NOT in this name so I bought quite a bit of it as I believe in Steve Cress, the fundamentals all look great and Steve points out - the PEG ratio is SO low.

I also used AI to break down the sectors - this is what you might want to do with your own portfolio.

Here is a breakdown of the total portfolio holding % in each sector for the Seeking Alpha Alpha Picks portfolio:

• Information Technology: 31.23%

• Industrials: 30.88%

• Consumer Discretionary: 13.75%

• Financials: 13.62%

• Consumer Staples: 3.87%

• Materials: 2.98%

• Health Care: 1.31%

• Communication Services: 2.36%

Below is a pie chart visualizing these sector allocations

My Alpha Picks portfolio yesterday was up 2.2%. Remember - I’m adding to winners and cutting losers down to the holding % so I may have different results than you. But I also missed out on the big winner of $SSRM which gave me another BUY in the 4 hour algorithm.

You can say thank you later!

Small Cap Quality

Small caps should outperform, but it’s always risky doing unprofitable small cap stocks.

Perplexity Explains it all

And small caps are heading in to a seasonally strong period.

Do you still think the bubble will burst with earnings showing growth, tariffs and the taco trade being a nothing and the Fed reducing rates? Or is this 1997 instead of 2000.?

Choose the direction of the market based on fact and that’s charts.

Markets

A generation of people grew up watching the big short and want to call the top and short the market when there’s a top.

I have news for you - you will get liquidated before the top happens. These guys made money. These guys are not billionaires but they were also not leveraged like Burry was.

Let me lead you down a path - I’ve been following Jason since his TSLA 0.00%↑ investment … he’s rich … richer than rich … from normal guy to rich. He saw the opportunity and took it.

I agree with his investments here and need to get in to them so I looked at who he thanks. His latest tweet is 100% correct.

And if you think the economy is bad - why did JBHT 0.00%↑ just have a great quarter? It’s a shipping company

Stocks

Did you see HIMS 0.00%↑ yesterday? The only thing I could find was that they were offering menopause treatments

But if you were looking for 5 min confirmation trades - THIS WAS IT

$HIMS 5 min chart in Trendspider. A clear winning day trade and rejection off that $63 range. Will it turn that to support? If not - it will bounce back up there so find the support.

Our guy Eric Jackson has a new position on HUT 0.00%↑ and he outlines it for you

$HUT in the 4 hour algorithm BEATS buy and hold over the past 2 years and had you in at $20. You’d be up almost 200% right now. Is it too late? Probably not!

This is the kind of research you should put your tools through.

I used perplexity and the Seeking Alpha Top stocks list to pull out any stock that has over 20% revenue growth year over year and a PE that’s under 20.

It was a discussion - not just one question. Here’s the list it came up with

Qualified Stock Symbols (updated list):

• COMM (CommScope Holding Company)

• MU (Micron Technology) – borderline, PE fluctuations below 20

• NEM (Newmont Corporation)

• IAG (IAMGOLD)

• EBR (Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. / Eletrobras)

• EBR.B (Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. / Eletrobras non-voting shares)

Go and see if you like any of these and put them on a watch list.

In my thesis for holding a large amount of COMM 0.00%↑ it’s based on a few articles I read from Seeking Alpha.

This first one goes in to the fact that it’s debt free - LOVE IT.

Then Steve put it on this investing experts podcast and went over it.

$COMM in the 4 hour algorithm in Trendspider - the algo BEATS buy and hold over the past 2 years, but I see it capitulating. The gap below is worrisome, but has not been even touched yet.

So far I’m only up 1%. The other stocks in this list I have owned like NEM 0.00%↑ IAG 0.00%↑ and I can’t talk about MU 0.00%↑ - but let’s just say I do own it as of yesterday.

IAG 0.00%↑ - in the 4 hour algorithm currently has a 96% run going since August.

$IAG in the 4 hour algorithm on a 96% run. The 4 hour algo has an average win of 16%.

NEM 0.00%↑ is in a 55% run since July.

$NEM in the 4 hour algorithm in Trendspider. A GREAT STRATEGY!

Remember - ALL of these are strong buys in the Quant as top stocks so fundamentally they may provide VERY good deals.

Revisiting my thesis that AMD 0.00%↑ will outperform NVDA 0.00%↑ over 1 year

September 15 - I bought $AMD - why? Because I thought with a $4T market cap, $NVDA would have trouble doubling over the next year, but if $AMD could catch up even a little with the growth as chips are going to be in high demand - I thought $AMD would outperform. So I took some money out of $PANW which had hit $200, some of the cash I had on the sidelines and made a big push in to $AMD.

Now in my portfolio, I’m actually up 50% - but again - a thesis - a strategy - a position created - and the reward.

$AMD vs. $NVDA since I bought on Sept 15th. The trade has worked out and most likely still has room to run.

An Idea - let’s see if AI can help me find a path for it

So today IBKR 0.00%↑ reports after the bell. Could it be that if they show incredible trading revenue that we will see HOOD 0.00%↑ go up as well?

We saw the 4 hour algorithm just get you out of HOOD 0.00%↑ with an 18% gain and it’s down at $133. I think the support level of $116 would be a good risk/reward, but you’d have to expect new all time highs for the thesis to play out.

$HOOD in the 4 hour algorithm in Trendspider

Well let’s play out 2 AI’s versus each other

First - Sidekick - I used the Karen model so expect it to be sassy

Second Seeking Alpha’s AI

Conclusion - HOOD 0.00%↑ is just a good stock and goes up no matter what!

The October Watch List

You thought I forgot about this? NOPE! There are still 2 crazy good MTD gains in this portfolio. One stock is up almost 50% and another ETF I picked is up almost 20%. Remember - August and September each had 1 stock that was up over 100% in the month.

The one that’s up almost 20% is ARKG 0.00%↑ . This ETF with biotech stocks were surging early in the month and I discovered the trend and gave folks 3 ETFs. This is up close to 20% and the other ETF’s are up 10% and 7%.

Just look at the weekly chart.

$ARKG weekly chart in Trendspider. Are we heading back to all time highs?

The 4 hour chart shows some recent big swings and opportunities.

A good listen too

I’m a fan of Hamid and Dustin runs Savvy Trader. They have been great to work with and they have a new podcast.

Here Hamid goes over why he’s raising cash in his portfolio. Don’t ignore Hamid. He’s been a solid investor in this market and while I may not follow every single one of his positions, his thesis is absolutely rock solid.

If you go and listen - drop a comment that Gary from Daily Stock Pick sent you over!

Would TSM 0.00%↑ beat if chip demand wasn’t high? And TSM 0.00%↑ is still a strong buy in all 3 ratings

and then Dan Ives and webush have been on an Asia tour …. High demand remains for Ai
