Quality before the crowd

We could tell you to buy NVIDIA, Amazon, or Microsoft. Anyone could do that. Picksmith finds quality momentum early — fundamentals that hold up, a setup that hasn't already gone vertical, and room before the crowd piles in.

One pick every Sunday · 13:00 UTC · three issues free, then $14.99/mo

• One name, fully scored — thesis, risks, fundamentals, regime, and context. Not a list of ten.
• Mechanical screen + fixed rubric — pre-breakout momentum and quality gates, then the same scorecard every time.
• Archive included — every past Sunday issue, so you can see what we called and when.

Universe & selection criteria

We scan the S&P 500 and liquid NASDAQ-listed names outside the index (20-day average dollar volume ≥ $20M, market cap ≥ $2B).

How it works

We scan that liquid US universe for early momentum — price reclaiming trend, a rising 200-day moving average, and volume expansion — not a blow-off top. Social buzz can surface ideas; only names that clear the mechanical bar make the short list.

Finalists are ranked on the same scorecard every trading day. The Sunday issue is what subscribers get: one conviction Quality Momentum Pick, Wall Street alignment, sector rotation, and a clear verdict. If the process says pass, we say pass — even when the obvious mega-cap would get more clicks.

Inside each issue

• Overall score and tactical vs long-term classification
• Breakout setup, growth, balance sheet, and analyst alignment on one scorecard
• Market regime, sector rotation, chatter box, and earnings radar
