Three Picks for 2026
As we get into 2026, traders are often curious what some of your favorite stock picks are. I’m not saying these are my 3 favorites, but I think they’re 3 that have potential, and I’ll be keeping a close eye on them in Q1.
Silent Nights
The indices have been quiet this week. Are they setting up for a big move, taking a much needed rest, or both? Let’s take a look at SPX into the last day of the year and talk about where Heather is looking for it to go into January.
Big Potential In RDDT
Reddit is a leader in the social media space and it is in a niche market. Right now, it has a confluence of bullish upside setups, including a daily and weekly squeeze with substantial potential upside. Let’s look at the setup and targets.
Year-End Market Review: Signal & Noise
The signal we have been tracking in the Nasdaq continues to build. As we approach the new year, where are the pockets of strength?
What This Christmas Market Is Telling Traders
Christmas week started with the strong turn around at the end of the prior week, with the mega caps and indexes leading the way. Since the initial pop, there has been some participation drop off as volume has slowed due to traders starting to focus on time off.
One Way To Fly
As we approach the end of the year, the market is in a generally bullish stance. I doubt it’s going to go straight up, but this butterfly is something to consider into the first month of the new year.
A Buy the Dip Setup in ALAB
ALAB is a hot semiconductor AI name, and it has experienced a nice pullback, along with a combination of a daily and weekly squeeze. This is a great long-term buy setup, with a fantastic risk to reward to the upside.
Holiday Weekend Market Review
Indexes continue to churn sideways as we approach next week’s holiday trade. Bulls usually take over in low volume. Can they do it again?
No Santa Sightings Yet
In this video, Bruce discusses today’s market action and the outlook for the end of the year. After CPI this morning, we got a nice bounce and relief rally after a long and messy chop phase since Thanksgiving. We have Quad Witching tomorrow after today’s monthly (AM) expiration in the indices and then PCE next Tuesday, so lots more volatility to come. We are clinging onto the 50 SMA on the ES, and if this can hold, we still have a shot at seeing our Santa Rally this year. Bruce will continue to be a cautious Bull until we get more clarity, but don’t load the sleigh too heavy just yet, as we don’t have clear skies to fly in as of now.
Setting Santa Straight
When you get into the heart of December it’s hard to read anything financial without hearing about the Santa Clause rally. Assume he’s not showing up this year? Let’s make sure we’re straight on a few of the facts.
