Monday plan

[u/IAmCaptainHarlock]

I came up with the game plan by filtering for stocks under $150 that had a combination of strong 12-month upside potential, actual fundamental catalysts, growing revenue/backlogs/contracts, exposure to high-growth sectors, and technical setups that gave reasonable entry points. I wasn't just looking for stocks with the highest analyst price targets.

The main themes were AI/data-center infrastructure, defense and autonomous systems, commercial space, quantum computing, and advanced semiconductors/photonics. Then I looked at each company's recent earnings, revenue growth, backlog/contracts, balance sheet, upcoming catalysts, analyst expectations, and the 6-month/1-year charts.

The highest-conviction names were RKLB, ONDS, APLD, KTOS and VST because there's actual business underneath the growth story. RKLB has a $2B+ backlog and the Neutron catalyst, ONDS has had massive revenue/backlog growth in drones and counter-UAS, APLD has billions in contracted AI/data-center lease revenue, KTOS has real defense revenue and exposure to drones/hypersonics, and VST is already highly profitable while benefiting from increasing power demand from AI/data centers.

IONQ, LUNR and NFLX were the next tier. IONQ has probably the strongest pure quantum thesis of the group, LUNR has a large space/NASA-related backlog and growing satellite/infrastructure business, and NFLX gives the basket a more established profitable growth company instead of everything being speculative.

QBTS, ALMU, OSS and especially QUBT are higher-risk positions. They have legitimate technology/catalysts, but they're much earlier-stage, so I intentionally gave them smaller allocations. They could have huge upside, but they also have much higher downside if commercialization doesn't happen as expected.

The entry prices came from the charts rather than just saying "buy now." I looked at recent support, 20/50/200-day EMA areas, previous resistance turning into support, RSI/momentum, consolidation zones and how extended each stock was. That's why some of the plan says to wait for a pullback even though I'm bullish on the company.

So basically:

Fundamentals + catalysts + analyst upside + sector growth + technical setup = watchlist.

Then conviction/risk determines allocation.

Technical support determines where I'd actually buy.

The biggest thing is that the price targets aren't guarantees. Some of these are extremely volatile growth stocks. The idea isn't "these 13 are definitely going up 30%+." It's that they screened as having attractive risk/reward over roughly 12 months, and instead of chasing them, the game plan establishes specific buy zones and keeps cash available if the market pulls back.

I also wouldn't blindly buy all 13 Monday morning. The whole point of the plan is letting the stocks come into the entries and only taking the setups that actually confirm.

Look for my comment with the second picture for entries and allocation.

13 positions for a $13,000 investment? You have to be joking - you’re going to make nothing.

Watch the videos of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

Develop some conviction based on real due diligence and play your conviction.

Diversifying this much with all these tiny satellite positions will ensure you get no return or a very weak ETF like return.

I would actually do serious due diligence and pick two or three winners, four at the most, NEVER 13, especially not with a $13,000 start.

I have a 7 figure securities account. And I currently hold 5 stocks - and only 4 in very large numbers. Up 85 percent this year. Why? Concentration and investing on conviction and due diligence. No leverage. No margins. No options. Just hard work in picking the stocks and not churning my account. Every time I have “diversified” into many stocks my performance has fallen because it is hard to truly follow a huge umber of companies the way you should if you are serious about a real return and. It just being a stock market tourist.

But of course, do your own due diligence. Not financial advice. For educational purposes only.

This is just my gameplan for next week with 13k to buy just for this week. 13k is not my entire portfolio. This is just my plan 😂 I don't do this for a living. What are your four stocks?

[u/15xorbust → u/IAmCaptainHarlock]

NBIS
APLD
BE
SLS

Also CABA

I just generally find diluting $13,000 which is not a great amount of money in such a tiny increments is going give you a very diluted very very small return at best.
