VUZI: +121% in 6 weeks – Bull & Bear Trading

Acting decisively following a successful application of emerging technology. Terry Donahue, Bull & Bear Trading said on January 22: “Vuzix is a leader in the R&D and manufacturing of augmented reality glasses. Today a first in U.S. surgical procedures took place as Vuzix AR glasses were used in a knee replacement surgery. The number of applications / use cases for these AR glasses are nearly unlimited.”

APA: +97% in 4 months – SmarTrend

This is the first time SmarTrend has been featured in Top Trades but they have delivered consistently strong results. To identify their ideas, SmarTrend models real-time pricing data, analyzes company financial fundamentals, considers corporate actions and maintains a library of 300 proprietary indicators. These algorithms generate uptrend (buy) and down trend (sell) signals. In this APA trade, patience was required but it was rewarded with a sizable payoff!

MARA: +64% in 6 weeks – RajCAP

Another Top Trade from Rajendra Parmar’s Elliott Wave-based swing trading system. Rajendra Parmar, RajCAP: “MARA was in a continuation pattern as an impulse cycle in a 60 minute time frame. The stock is directly related to the Bitcoin price as the company invested in Bitcoin. We entered when it gapped down with huge volume. The risk/reward ratio was more than 5x. The trade was a simple trend continuation pattern, which typically offers great reward potential and high probability of success.”

CPRI: +49% in 15 weeks – Whale of a Time Trends

Samantha LaDuc has been on the lookout for opportunities to profit from recovery-driven sector rotation trends since December. Here are her comments from December 2: “This name is one of the strongest recovery stocks, and has just broken a long term downtrend. We believe the stock could increase close to 50% from here over the long-term.”

MCFE: +34% in 8 weeks – Alpha Insights

Jeff Huge, Alpha Insights on January 11: “The shares of McAfee Corp (MCFE) appear to have resolved a classic patterned base formation of the “Head & Shoulders” variety. A sustained bullish inflection above $17.96 would project a measured move to around $22.50, for at least a 25% gain. Stop-loss $16.50 for a 3:1 positive risk skew.”

ALT: +23% in 1 weeks – Rick’s Picks Bold

Rick’s Picks are frequently featured as a top pick, using a disciplined technical approach. Rick Ackerman: “Altimmune is a stock that often encounters violent price moves. ALT’s chart provided us with the type of ‘mechanical entry’ that offers a great risk/reward tradeoff that we seek to deliver to our followers.”
