Commentary of the Week – How to Find the Next Hot Stock Market Play?

Stocks traders should set out to find the next hot stock, the big winner that can bring strong performance to our overall portfolio. The problem is, most of us miss out on the early entry into the big winners because, as humans, we are designed to fail in the stock market. To find the big winners requires an awareness of how our human characteristics stop us from finding big winners.

In this article, I will give you a simple formula for find the next hot stock or sector.

Humans learn from what has happened in the past. We believe in stocks that did well and transfer that feeling to expectations of the future. It is hard to forget about a stock or sector that made substantial gains so, when we hear about something similar, we pay attention.

Remember Cannabis stocks from a few years ago? They made big price gains and a lot of wealth was created for those that got into the sector early. However, if you did not sell when the upward trend was broken, those big profits went up in smoke.

While the group has fallen significantly, many traders still watch the group for trading opportunities. They are looking for hot stocks in a sector that is no longer in favor.

The next group of top performers will come from an area that are not aware of yet. If you are a normal human, you will not believe in it when you hear about it. If someone gives you a stock tip from a group that you have never heard of and has not shown any strength yet, you will likely not believe in it. Without the proof first, we humans tend to doubt.

Think back to when you hear first about Cannabis stocks. I know that for me, it was before legalization, when Cannabis was relegated to illegal grow ops. The idea did not make sense for anyone who was looking backwards, rather than what could happen in the future if things changed.

This is one of the characteristics of super bull markets. They don’t make sense at first.

Anyone who has read my columns or watched my YouTube videos will know that I look for abnormal trading activity as the sign that something significant is happening with the company. I want to focus on stocks that few people paid attention to in the past but then come alive with a surprise burst of buying interest.

Here is the formula for finding the next hot stock or sector.

1. Abnormal price gains with strong volume after a lengthy period of a sideways price trend.
2. No significant downward trend in the stock or sector in the last year. The chart should show that this is the start of a new trend, not a bounce back after a downward trend
3. The price gain that the stock should be a surprise and should not make any sense. It should be a new story that has not yet hit the mainstream

One of the hot sectors of the market this year has been Lithium stocks. It was a new story for most people. The stocks came alive late in 2020 or early in 2021 with strong price gains and abnormal volume that surprised the market. The group had been trading with very little activity before it started to trade abnormally. Most people were unaware of what lithium is used for.

The perfect set up and today, many of these stocks are up more than 200% this year.

The next hot group only comes along a few times a year so you have to be patient. Just remember to look for surprise abnormal activity that does not make a lot of sense because it has not happened before.
