2 to 100 Club (04-27-2022)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.
As many of you know, something we’ve been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It’s really been working for us!
One way we’re doing this is by identifying the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega-cap status (over $200B).
Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.
But the scan doesn’t just end there.
We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.
Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.
When you look at the stocks in our table, you’ll notice we’re only focused on Technology and Growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online Retail, Solar, etc.
Then, like any good technician, we filter the list down to those closest to new highs.
This allows the cream of these strong groups to rise to the top and helps streamline our mission to identify technical breakouts in the top-performing stocks.
The All Star Momentum Scan
We debuted a new scan recently which goes by the name- All Star Momentum.
Carvana CEO Backs up the Truck
The largest insider transaction on today’s Hot List is a Form 4 filing by Ernest Garcia II, CEO and co-founder of Carvana $CVNA.
CVNA just raised an additional $1 billion via a private offering of perpetual preferred stock, and Garcia has taken a large allocation.
He remains CVNA’s largest shareholder by a wide margin.
Twitter Accepts $44 Billion Offer From Elon
It’s been just over three weeks since Elon Musk filed his original 13G and revealed an investment in Twitter $TWTR.
Now, it looks like he’s about to take control of the entire company.
Yesterday, it was announced that Twitter has accepted his $44 billion offer to take over the company and go private.
Here’s what else is happening in the world of insider activity…
Transportation Stocks Up Again
The Inside Scoop (04-25-2022)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
The market has become increasingly volatile as selling pressure spreads to the strongest stocks.
As bullish opportunities become more scarce, we’ve had to become more selective in terms of our long exposure.
This is because we’re trend followers. We want to be involved in uptrends, and as more and more uptrends come under pressure, we have fewer options. It’s as simple as that.
But when it comes to corporate insiders and activists, they actually become more active when stocks are under pressure. They love buying weakness.
So while there are fewer opportunities for trend followers like us, there is a growing list of opportunities for bargain-hunters like them.
As such, insiders have been very active in recent weeks as stocks continue to slide. But they don’t only buy downtrends. There has been some activity in names showing impressive relative strength as well.
Let’s talk about a handful of leading stocks that insiders have shown interest in recently.
Follow the Flow (04-25-2022)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @sstrazza
This is one of our favorite bottom-up scans: Follow the Flow. In this note, we simply create a universe of stocks that experienced the most unusual options activity — either bullish or bearish… but NOT both.
We utilize options experts, both internally and through our partnership with The TradeXchange. Then, we dig through the level 2 details and do all the work upfront for our clients.
Our goal is to isolate only those options market splashes that represent levered and high-conviction, directional bets.
We also weed out hedging activity and ensure there are no offsetting trades that either neutralize or cap the risk on these unusual options trades.
What remains is a list of stocks that large financial institutions are putting big money behind… and they’re doing so for one reason only: because they think the stock is about to move in their direction and make them a pretty penny.
Then we flip through our list of stocks flashing unusual activity and pick the best setups using many of the same technical filters we do for our other scans.
And, just like that, we’ll follow the money flow and fatten our own pockets along with some of the world’s most powerful financial institutions.
