A Gift of Stock Portfolio

Read Now
 
The market rally following the March 2020 Covid-19 dip has somewhat distorted everyone's views. The line between what's worth buying and holding, and what's only pushed by an extraordinary, and most likely short-lived transition of living at home are very blurry. The job of a good investor is to distinguish what's here to stay and what's not. A point of distinction between those two sets of companies is their growth rate before the pandemic. Today, we updated our "A Gift of Stock" portfolio with a company that was already growing before the pandemic.

​The new stock pick for our "A Gift of Stock" portfolio is a company that was growing rapidly, even before the start of the pandemic, and the pandemic has only proliferated its growth. With less than 3% market share in one of the oldest industries in our economy,  the new stock pick is an excellent fit for our "A Gift of Stock" portfolio. Our CEO's nephews, who will be holding on to these shares for more than a decade without worrying about the ups and downs of the market, got a new gift today. Stock Card VIP users have a chance to view the pick. You can subscribe to a free trial and join them reading about this new stock pick and check out all other stocks in this portfolio. ​

A new stock pick for the Phoenix portfolio

Read Now
 
Karen Sheng, Head of Data Science at Stock Card, is the portfolio publisher of the Phoenix portfolio. She combines her technical trading skills with the "collection" functionality on Stock Card and gives us a sneak peek into her thought process that led to a new addition to her portfolio. Check it out!
Picture
On April 29th, the share price of Alphabet (Ticker: GOOG / GOOGL) went up almost 10% post-earnings. The reaction is primarily attributed to the positive outlook of Google Cloud and YouTube ads revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a double-edged sword for the group of companies in the internet & social media advertising business. On the one hand, revenue from the travel & hospitality industries, as well as small businesses, have diminished. On the other hand, these platforms have seen the increased engagement of users as people have increasingly consumed digital content while being sheltered at home.  

On the tailwind of this emerging trend, I would like to introduce the new addition to the Phoenix portfolio and demonstrate my thought process. A unique feature on Stock Card's "Discover" page is to filter stocks based on "collections." A collection is Stock Card's proprietary classification system framed in natural language. For instance, when a user starts typing the word "advertising" in the search bar, the engine screens the universe of publicly-traded companies for companies in the advertising space. See the above image for more details.

There are six stocks within the "social media advertising" collection. For this exercise, I would like to focus on stocks that are ex-China and have a share price that is under $50. That leaves us with three stocks – SNAP, PINS and TWTR. The following is snapshots of these stocks:

Next, let's move on to technical analysis. This is the set of technical indicators that I used to identify entries:
  • Daily price above 200-day EMA (exponential moving average)
  • 8-day EMA above 21-day EMA
  • RSI below 70 (i.e., the stock is not overbought yet)
  • Positive Chaikin Money Flow ​

The combination of the technical indicators outlined above and the fundamental information visualization available on Stock Card enabled me to add a new stock to my Phoenix portfolio. Stock Card VIP users can log in to their premium accounts and get to know the latest picks. Make sure to follow the Phoenix portfolio by clicking on the bell icon on the top-right corner of the portfolio page to follow my new stock picks.

By the way, this is Karen, and I own all of the stocks included and will be added to the Phoenix portfolio. Also, Stock Card has a Disclousre policy. ​
