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
▪️ $HACK
▪️ $IZRL
▪️ $TMFC

2: Fund Managers

Type a fund you respect into @Whalewisdom

You can see all their holding and get emails of any changes

These funds are worth tracking:
▪️AKre Capital
▪️AKO Capital
▪️Dorsey Asset
▪️Fundsmith
▪️Polen Capital

3: Newly Public Companies

▪️Direct Listings
▪️IPOs
▪️SPACs

Are a great idea source

Helpful resources:
▪️ IPOscoop.com
▪️ spactrack.net

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
@chitchatmoney
@investing_city
@motleyfoolmoney
@MFIndustryFocus
@marketfoolery
@RBIpodcast

7: Free Articles / Substacks

@themotleyfool main page has TONS of free content

I like @FromValue & Bert Hochfeld on seeking alpha

@Beth_Kindig has great content

The substacks of:
@jaminball
@marketplunger1
@StockMarketNerd

Are all worth reading

8: FinTwit

TONS of people share ideas on FinTwit

I’ve gotten ideas from:
@LiebermanAustin
@anandchokkavelu
@hhhypergrowth
@Matt_Cochrane7
@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
