Top 10 Stocks (2022 Edition)

The best of the best from the leading industries, S&P 500 & Nasdaq 100

Good morning and Happy New Year, investors & traders!

I’m am very excited to share this year’s “Top stocks” that ended a great 2021 as we head into the 2022 year. I’ve applied the same scans as last year and filtered the list down to ten (10) names.

This is a very long post, and depending on your email app, you might need to load the entire email in the browser to see all the charts at the bottom.

Before I get into the list for 2022, I feel it is important to recap last year’s picks.
