Do you see the difference here?

Do you see the difference here? Look. Here is the Free Course How to Find Great Stocks. A lot of people are entering into stocks like Bloom Energy, Palantir and thinking that they're early. And a lot of these creators also got a want to sell you. So here's the course for free. How did we find Palantir more than two years ago? How did we find Bloom Energy a year and a half ago? Okay, I don't make these videos to be mean. I don't want to see lots of people become exit liquidity, okay? And it's not. This is not calling tops. I'm gonna go through how I find winning stocks on a regular basis and have these big wins so that you're not buying it after the stock has ran 600%. Save this video because it's going to be This is a longer video Save so you can Come back to it a little bit longer and you may wanna come back to it later. I do this video on how to find stocks about once a year. The last time, Roblox really stood out. And that one ran over 180%. which we'll get into a conversation about Profit taking is a Separate conversation managing risk and taking profits. Now, there are thousands of stocks out there, and the first thing that you need to do is to eliminate all of the duds. And remember, we care about Potential Percent Change percent change. First thing that we do is we eliminate stocks that are not gonna have much potential. Of creators come on here and talk about Nvidia. That is a massive NVDA has done NOTHING Since this video market cap in the trillions of dollars. And what has happened the last year and a half, you missed the early Runs. Get over it. basically no return. So the first rule that I set is I personally, I set my market cap $2B to $100B threshold between approximately 2 billion and 100 billion. that's where you're gonna get big percent moves. Feel free to adjust that range. go up to 500 billion, but anything over a trillion dollars, get really explosive moves. And anything under $2 billion, the volatility is gonna be so much that it's really hard to make predictable moves. One news article Can crush you and you've, you know, one news article and that hurts, it can really damage your portfolio. The next rules that I set is that the cash flow has to be greater than zero. We need to know Is the company Actually making money? that the business whose entire point is to make money, is making money. Next, I want the price above the 12 month simple moving average. And this is just basically confirming to me that I have a long term macro trend upwards. That it's basically like. Think of you're a sailboat, alright? Except the wind is money in your sales to push you along. Except the wind is money If you've got price action below that 12 months simple then you really don't have any wind in the sails. it's probably blowing in your face. Next. Usually I. This is not A hard rule that I do break this sometimes, but usually no stocks below $10. No stocks below $10 This is harder to get institutional money into those. Okay. More than 20 employees. This is so we don't have like aerodynamic dynamics out in the middle of Nevada that some shed. Now you're down to roughly 1,000 stocks. But we obviously we don't wanna go through 1,000 stocks. continue to add parameters until it becomes a manageable point where we can visually analyse all of these. So for this example, I want the price action to be above the 200 moving average and price action to be of above the hundred and fifty day moving average. Okay? Cause remember, price could actually be above the 200 but below the 150, would be in a local consolidation zone. We don't want that. Oh, and P E ratios. Okay, I want the P. E. To be trending upwards. Valuation ratios Annual Quarterly I don't really care what the actual value is, I just want to see that the P E ratio is generally trending upwards. Now we're down to 339 stocks. And I know that sounds a bit intimidating, gonna eliminate a lot of these fairly quickly. What is the most important part of a stock? Think about this for a second. What do you care about most? Price. Price action You care that price Price action We care that percent is moving up. Price action percent is moving up. And so there is Price action one chart formation That I always fall back to. And it comes from. I didn't re, you know, reinvent Mark Minervini talks about a volatility contraction pattern, a VCP. And what this is, Resistance line First Contraction Second Third Uptrend Breakout point getting higher lows this price ceiling. It's this consolidation. And personally, I like to get into the consolidation. Some people wait for the actual breakout. There are pros and cons. I can talk about that later, but it doesn't really matter. I start visually scanning all of these stocks on a weekly time frame or daily time frame, What matches this frame that I'm targeting for that video or for my own investments: And I'm eliminating all of the stocks that do not look that VCP. Okay, so some of these stocks you're gonna see are absolutely parabolic. No! We do not want that. We want to be into these before they run. you're gonna be beating out all of these gurus that you see online. From those 20 stocks, we can refine a little bit further. So for example, D R S we see that the free float shares are at 28% and the closely held shares are at 71%. So obviously, you know, something saying, hey, You don't need to know the reason they. They're holding for a reason. And then the very last aspect that I'm looking for is the free cash flow trending upwards. Okay? We want to see that they are making more and more money every quarter and every year. And then the very last one is the earnings per share. Is that trending upwards? We care that greedy shareholders are making more money. You know, whether you agree with the company or not, it matters not. If they're not making money, it's less likely that you're going to make money. We're down to 10 stocks, a lot of banks, a lot of insurance. We have some restaurants. This is how we caught Cheesecake Factory a few weeks ago. Uh, and this is why the stock talk ETF. Is sometimes double or triple the performance of the S and P 500. But hope this helps.
