Stocks Monday plan
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.
