I have a question if

    Posted by blayden on 11th of Jul 2024 at 06:56 pm

    I have a question if someone has some wisdom for me!  I have been investing a bit with the KISS tables and have had decent success.  I have more money to invest now so want to get more active with the tables.  There are a lot of new long's that come up.  Is there some good criteria people use as to which ones to take a position in?  I can't bite at all of them, and not sure it should just be random dart throws as to which ones to take positions on, but maybe random is OK with these since they all have the smart stops?  Thanks for any advice!!


    I take a look at

    I take a look at charts as a sanity check. Sometimes new buys seem extended already or running into some key resistance. After picking some that seem interesting, I do a quickie fundamental and technical analysis via IBD ratings and choose a few strong ones that I would feel comfortable holding for a while. Some days like today I take none, even though there were several new longs, other days I might take a handful. I try to diversify in the stronger sectors so that the stocks I have aren't too strongly correlated.

    I like this list (at the moment) but you wou ld get the harsh buzzer on the "am I diversified?" game   

    I'm guessing this list got annihilated today....like every single one down more than 1% probably. Right? 

    So annoying that you can't just drop a list like this into TV and get a new watchlist...and the hallucination machine that is ChatGPT is not even close to accurate (screenshot attached)

    ChatGPT on the web couldn't

    ChatGPT on the web couldn't do it, but I was able to get a list via ChatGPT API in python along with YFinance and a couple other basic modules.  The fast casual stocks split between a fractional loss and a fractional gain, the rest got smoked. 

    Thank you BPT!

    People make it way more

    People make it way more complicated than it has to be. "If you can't make money in the most prominent names of the day you won't make money elsewhere."  Said one of the greatest traders ever. What are they? You know the names. And the BPT basket is a good place to start. Although I use many of my own systems. You can trade and work at the same time. I did it for years. Use stops, stay focused on big and popular stocks and you will do fine.

    good point, BPT basket it

    if you have a day

    if you have a day job, i'd recommend only ETF's to exclude the company risk.

    do you follow trends in the market? (rotation from tech to healthcare) then focus on the healthcare names when appropriate.  I was all over the $D-$NEE and XLU longs this week as i expect yields to continue to fall in front of the dovish language coming on soft inflation and slowing economy.
