Everyone knows Apple, Amazon, Microsoft...

But how do you find the next $AFRM, $PLTR, or $USPT early?

Here are 9 GREAT resources for finding stock ideas (8 of them are FREE):

1: ETFs

Look through the holdings of high-growth ETFs

Google the ETF symbol and “holdings”

These are worth cracking open:
▪️ $ARKF / $ARKG / $ARKK / $ARKW
▪️ $FFTY

2: Fund Managers

4. Screeners

@Finviz is great for screening by sector/industry

@Stockcard is great for screening by themes (like the mega-trends listed below)
5: Your Family & Friends

Look through your credit card statements

Observe the brands your friends buy

Notice any patterns? Find out if the company is public
6: Podcasts

These podcasts are great at uncovering hidden gems

7: Free Articles / Substacks

I like @FromValue & Bert Hochfeld on seeking alpha

@Beth_Kindig has great content

The substacks of:
@jaminball
@marketplunger1

@jablamsky
@saxena_puru
@StackInvesting
@TomGardnerFool

and SO MANY MORE!
9: Paid services

I paid for:
@TMFStockAdvisor
@TMFRuleBreakers

For YEARS before I worked for them

If you get 1 good idea from a paid service, the subscription more than pays for itself
Finding stocks ideas is one thing

Figuring out if they are worth buying is another

This is where checklists are helpful

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
