The Technical + Fundamental Powerhouse

This Tuesday I was able to join Marc Chaikin of Chaikin Analytics for probably my favorite webinar of the year!

Why was this a favorite?

Well to start, I love collaborating — and Marc is a wealth of knowledge. I also love using his platform for all my research and trading needs, particularly when it comes to a favorite method of mine.

Which method am I talking about?…

Finding Phoenix.

So if you were able to join, thank you SO much…

But, in case you weren’t able to attend, you can catch the replay here.

We’re always discussing top sectors and industry groups, like Marc and I did on Tuesday. And during last week’s edition of the newsletter, we talked about some of my favorite semiconductor stocks.

That’s why the Chaikin/Five Star trading approach is such a great combination. 

So today let’s talk about semis – -and fundamentals, Marc’s speciality.

How To Trade In This Sector?

For investors who don’t want to pick a specific semi stock, investing in SMH, the ETF, is a great way to get exposure overall.

I like to take this approach when I’m eyeing a certain sector or industry group, and I want exposure overall without breaking it down in detail. If I want to be a bit more aggressive, I’ll invest in the 3x ETF, SOXL, or an individual pick, however these will be more volatile. 

So where does Chaikin come in?

Within Chaikin Analytics, you can research which semi’s are hottest — and primed for long-term growth. 

Which Companies Look Good Right Now To Me?

As far as companies are concerned, my favorites are:

  • Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  • Texas Instruments (TXN)
  • Nvidia (NVDA)
  • Broadcom (AVGO)

However, NVDA has already had a massive rally, so I wouldn’t buy it here. AMD however, is only $97 a share, and it has huge growth potential. AMD currently has some of the best technology as well as leadership from Lisa Su. While the stock has exploded in the past few years, there’s still plenty more room for it to run. This is my favorite long term investment — and my favorite ticker to trade options on.

In fact, we just closed out a $1,000 win overnight in my Stacked Profits Mastery program on AMD. So if you want in on the next one, make sure to join! 

But Back To The Stocks…

I actually discussed how I use Chaikin Analytics to make my picks during my recent webinar. And if you want the replay HERE…

You’ll find Marc and I discussing key growth sectors, like e-commerce, and how we nailed trades in Chewy (CHWY) and Wayfair (W).
