Find the Best Stocks to Invest in Right Now By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics Folks, it's a great time to be an investor... Over the past five years, the broad market S&P 500 Index is up nearly 100%. And the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index is up about 115% over the same time frame. Those are incredible returns for stocks. And the AI boom is providing investors like you fantastic opportunities to grow wealth. But we need to be careful with this generational opportunity. As my colleagues and I have said many times here in the Chaikin PowerFeed, blindly piling money into every AI-related stock could be a recipe for disaster. Of course, that raises the question of how to separate the likely winners from the possible losers. After all, no one wants to see their wealth destroyed... In fact, my wife Sandy had that happen. Amid the financial crisis, she lost 50% of her 401(k) – at the hands of a bad broker. I was so frustrated that I decided to do something about it. You see, I already had years of Wall Street success behind me. And I knew exactly what the big-name investors looked for when buying stocks. I wanted to use that knowledge to help "turn the tables" on Wall Street. So I created a tool that helps do the heavy lifting for "mom and pop" investors. As you know, I'm talking about the Power Gauge. It's the culmination of my life's work. And today, I'll discuss how it identified setups in two of the market's hottest stocks... Recommended Links: Now Anyone Can Employ This Hedge-Fund Strategy With Just a Cellphone For decades, one of Wall Street's most profitable investments was off-limits to most folks. Hedge funds have used it to target gains of 770%, 840%, and even 1,775%... But achieving these profits was nearly impossible without connections and a special broker. Now, all that has changed. In a new video, veteran analyst Mike DiBiase pulls out his cellphone and shows how anyone can buy these "hidden" investments in 60 seconds... using nothing more than a regular brokerage app. Click here to see the demo and the opportunity he's targeting now. Forget Nvidia: Wall Street Legend Names His No. 1 Hidden Stock Marc Chaikin, the Wall Street legend followed by more than 800,000 readers in 148 countries, just went public with his newest trade... and it will surprise you. Get the full details – for FREE – right here. The Power Gauge Brings Wall Street to You No one wants to miss out on being early to the next big stock... Just think of tech titan Nvidia (NVDA). It's a market darling. And it's a poster child for the AI boom.  Of course, you also know that Nvidia's stock has soared as AI has taken off. Heck, in the past two years alone, NVDA shares are up about 320%. Of course, it wasn't a straight line up. But over that span, the Power Gauge flashed some important signals... In total, our system flashed 23 separate "buy" alerts for Nvidia over the past two years. Folks, the Power Gauge is far from magic. It analyzes 20 unique factors, across four different categories. And it gives us an easy-to-understand picture of where a stock will head in the next few months. You'll notice one of these factors bears my name. The "Chaikin Money Flow" is a measure of what the "smart money" on Wall Street is buying and selling. These big names move more money than we can imagine every day. So, keep your eyes on the Chaikin Money Flow factor. If the factor is green for a particular stock, you know Wall Street is paying attention to it... And it can pay off massively to follow those moves. In fact, my Smart Money Trader publication centers around this concept. And that strategy has given my subscribers some nice gains... For example, in a special alert back on January 9, I told my subscribers about a setup in leading data-analytics and AI firm Palantir Technologies (PLTR). As I explained, the stock had recently pulled back by double digits after a huge run higher. This had triggered an Oversold Buy signal. And it happened with massive Chaikin Money Flow support. Here's the exact chart I shared with Smart Money Trader subscribers... As I said at the time...   PLTR shares are about 17% below their recent high. With strong smart-money support, we could easily see the stock trade back up to that high in the next month.   And with continued smart-money support, it could surge even higher. After all, Palantir is a premier data-analytics and AI company. That's exactly what happened. In the following weeks, Palantir's stock surged higher. And on February 4, I recommended taking our money off the table. Subscribers who followed my advice booked a 52% gain in less than a month. Folks, my point is simple... In any market, you need a proven system to give you an edge for finding opportunities. Here at Chaikin Analytics, that's why I created the Power Gauge... It puts the power of data behind your investment decisions. And it helps find opportunities with stocks poised for big upside.  I know it has been a volatile year. But don't let the opportunities sitting out there in the market pass you by. With the help of a powerful system like the Power Gauge, you can pinpoint the best stocks positioned to surge. Good investing, Marc Chaikin   Editor's note: Put simply, the Power Gauge sees what's going on "under the hood" of a particular stock... As Marc noted, our system looks at 20 individual factors for the more than 5,000 stocks in its database. And all these data points are broken down into four categories – Financials, Earnings, Experts, and Technicals. The Power Gauge then distills all of that data into an actionable grade. These range from "very bearish" to "very bullish." Right now, you can get immediate access to the Power Gauge as part of a special offer we've put together... If you aren't already a subscriber, you can sign up for a year of Marc's Power Gauge Report newsletter – which includes a full year of access to the Power Gauge as part of this offer.
