My Take
There are certain “themes” that I like - AI, GP1, Mag7, etc. There are also certain strategies I like - ONES THAT WORK! So when I find a strategy that has worked, I want to copy it or follow it. The Top 10 stocks for 2023 and 2024 worked SO well that it was a no brainer the top stocks for 2025 was likely to outperform and they are. I’ve gone over them many times on the podcast, but Steve Cress just put out a summary of the performance and it’s a master piece.
What’s even more important is he announced an event on June 17th for the Top 2nd Half 10 stocks. Let me guess one that will be included - Credo ( CRDO 0.00%↑ ). But you don’t want to miss this event as the buying of these stocks very likely will increase the price of them if they have small enough market caps.
Then you have the Alpha Picks Portfolio which over the last 3 months is up an incredible 11.4%. My portfolio is NOT up this much at all, but I do have almost $150k in the Alpha Picks portfolio which equates to $16,500 in gains I would NOT have had if I did not hold this portfolio. Most likely that $150k would have been in VOO 0.00%↑ or QQQ 0.00%↑ which over 3 months have NOT gained 11%.
My point is I have a mixture of strategies in my portfolio. I do hold VOO 0.00%↑ and QQQ 0.00%↑ and other ETF’s and stocks, but I’ve chosen to also go with strategies that work. It’s why I like my 4 hour algorithm in Trendspider. On many of the stocks I hold, I’ve developed strategies that have WORKED for me. Strategies are hard to come by, but if you can find one that’s back tested, it greatly increases the likelihood of future success. It’s never guaranteed and being nimble and able to adjust is always important - but a strong base of backtesting the performance is what I tend to prefer.

Alpha Picks is outperforming the market
Alpha picks performance ytd - 1 month 3 month and since inception nearly doubling the S&P performance. A portfolio of stocks that have a history. The portfolio not only picks stocks - it has shown me a rules based approach that has made me a better investor in managing my own portfolio. 💼
Top 2025 stocks
Lets point out that not only is alpha picks outperforming the market ytd - but so are the top 10 2025 stocks and Steve cress just posted the summary article as to why and how he’s had 3 years of picking 10 stocks at the beginning of the year that have outperformed the S&P by a large margin
So if you have the Seeking Alpha Bundle - you’re on your way to paying for that subscription if you haven’t already just with these 2 portions of your portfolio. Add in some yolo stuff that I’ve thrown out based on seeking alphas quant and you’re doing better than my own personal portfolio which is down.

Jobs are the issue and now we’re seeing some manufacturing jobs being at risk - they may be saying tariffs - but let’s be real - this may be robotics too
The S&P is in a bull market
Just looking at Finviz - there were 50 of the S&P 500 that hit new highs and none hit new lows yesterday. BULL MARKET. 257 of the S&P 500 though is still trading UNDER the 200 day moving average. 155 are below the 50 day moving average

MDB 0.00%↑ killed it … up 15% … it’s a strong sell in the quant so it shows you the quant is not 100% just like every tool
Tonight you have AVGO 0.00%↑ - I went over why I’m not sure I would be buying here.

MULN 0.00%↑ is a stock I’ve traded in the past and it took off yesterday … these are ones that if you learn how to trade a chart - they can be quite lucrative so you want to set up a watch list of them and alerts - it’s more about being organized and having the tools that allow you to determine the move
Coreweave ( CRWV 0.00%↑ ) is just crazy
CRWV 0.00%↑ is just a short squeeze on a good business …. APLD 0.00%↑ continued its crazy move as well

Fire tip Friday on a Thursday
An HSA is the best savings hack ever - if you can afford to leave the money in there - do it - just save the receipt. There is no statute of limitations on when the money has to come out so pay the expense and let the money compound.
We live in a time where if you don’t know what something means - it’s VERY simple to get a specific answer and have a conversation about it
And to finish off - here is what I learned today. I saw this tweet from JC
I then screen shot it and asked perplexity to explain it
There is NO reason anyone should say “I don’t know what that means” today.
