Stock Picking
Summaries of 10 videos on Stock Picking, each with a one-line takeaway, key ideas and sectioned notes.
Investing in the Magnificent 7: Value Creation, Value Distribution and Expectation Gaps
When investing in the US tech Magnificent 7 (M7), look at value creation and value distribution rather than fretting over whether valuations are high or low, because market leadership is not permanent; unless you have an insight that differs from the market, just buy an ETF such as QQQ.
AI Investing: The Killer-App Myth, Breaking Down Stock Prices, and the SaaS Pricing Dilemma
AI investors need not hunt for a killer app; instead they should watch whether technology costs fall and vertical applications emerge, and check whether long-term profits and AI pricing models actually turn into revenue, because killer apps are a product of probability and only visible in hindsight.
Following the Big Players with Key Broker Branches: 3 Criteria of Big Buying at Lows, Fat Profits, and Heavy Selling at Highs
To find a key broker branch, look for 3 criteria: it buys big at lows, its average buy and sell prices differ by at least 20%, and it sells heavily at highs; pair low-level entries with high dividend yields, because a price where a branch buys big is usually not far from the bottom, and a high yield helps you hold through declines.
Mini and Micro Futures for Beginners: Using Leverage with Small Capital in Day and Night Sessions
When inflation and rate hikes shrink your capital, small investors can use mini futures and overseas micro futures to position flexibly with lower margin, but the risk is leverage, so control position size, don't put in too much margin, and cut the loss decisively if you get a margin call.
Using Single-Stock Futures for Dividend-Style Investing: Leverage Control, Stock Selection and Ex-Dividend Tool Comparison
Single-stock futures can be used for dividend-style investing if you keep leverage at about 2x, hold half your capital in reserve, and pick stocks that have single-stock futures, high dividend yields and stable price swings, which lets you withdraw profits and receive the full dividend on the ex-dividend day.
Director and Supervisor Election Rallies: Judging 1–2 Month Swing Trades from Holdings, Broker Branches and Consecutive Major-Player Buying
Director and supervisor election rallies are 1–2 month swing trades: pick companies where directors and supervisors hold few shares and the price-to-book ratio is low, confirm the rally exists through consecutive major-player net buying, and exit before the share-transfer suspension date.
Short-Term Strong Stocks via Short-to-Margin Ratio and Major-Player Buying, Plus a Buy-and-Hold Approach to Staples and Recovery Stocks
For the short term, screen for strong stocks using a high short-to-margin ratio plus major-player buying; for the long term, pick high-gross-margin consumer-staple companies with moats, because the former relies on a short squeeze driven by chip flows while the latter is unafraid of the pandemic and benefits from a recovering economy.
Following Investment Trusts: Using the Trust-to-Volume Ratio to Find Low-Priced Stocks They Have Adopted
To pick stocks adopted by investment trusts, look for a trust net buy/sell as a share of trading volume (trust-to-volume ratio) of 10% or more, for 2 or more consecutive days, with the share price still low, because a ranking by lot count alone misses high-priced stocks and a share-of-capital ratio distorts results for large-capital companies.
Can You Follow Share Buybacks? How to Tell the 3 Types Apart and Screen Them
Only the first type of buyback is worth following: one launched at a low price, with major players buying in step and a record of doing what it says. Buybacks launched at highs are major players using the cover to sell out, and the fizzling type only yields a short-term gain during the buyback window.
Warrants for Beginners: In-the-Money vs. Out-of-the-Money, How to Pick, and Trading Short-Term
Warrants are highly leveraged but lose time value continuously, so trade them in and out quickly and pick them by 3 criteria: low spread-to-leverage ratio, leaning in-the-money, and a stable issuer; held too long, 47% of the more than 2 wan (ten-thousand) warrants are already down more than half from their issue price.
