Welcome to The Junior International Hall of Famers.

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

This scan is composed of the next 100 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 100 and are thus covered by the International Hall of Famers universe.

Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original International Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

Let's dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.

This is our Junior International Hall of Famers list:

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as "a market of stocks."

Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher.

We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions. But there are always stocks that are going up.

The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too. 

We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as Hall of Famers, Minor Leaguers, and the 2 to 100 Club.

We filter these universes for stocks that are exhibiting the best momentum and relative strength characteristics. 

Clearly, we spend a lot of time identifying and writing about leading stocks every week, via multiple reports.

Now, we're also highlighting lagging stocks on a recurring basis.

Today is Day Two for the All Star Charts team hosting our Portfolio Accelerator event in New York City.

During our group conversations today, Strazza and I put our heads together and put on this trade in Snowflake $SNOW.

For the past seven weeks, it was “do-or-die” for my favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills.

They came into the season as one of the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl. Las Vegas even had them at good odds to win it all for the first time in franchise history.

Of course, nobody can predict the future. Not in sports, not in markets, not anywhere.

And naturally, the real world had different ideas.

Twelve games into the seventeen-game season, it looked like all was lost and Bills fans would have to “wait ’til next year” once again. The Bills’ record was just 6-6 and they were looking up at 10 teams ahead of them in line for only 7 available playoff spots.

It looked like it was over. They faced a situation where their only real path to make it to the playoffs was to win their final five games. And those final five games were scheduled against a gauntlet of teams who were locks for the playoffs already — each with their own valid...

1. No new positions.
2. Defensive adjustment in SMH.
3. No exits since last report.
4. Current status of open campaigns.

Welcome back to Under the Hood, where we'll cover all the action for the week ended January 19, 2024. This report is published bi-weekly, in rotation with The Minor Leaguers.

What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.

We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names.

There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: a list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
