Am lead trainer with stockstotrade tim bowen. You know listen i know out there on on the internet particularly on youtube. It's a lotta penny stocks and man i love love love love love love love penny stocks nobody loves penny stocks more than me nobody loves those big huge low float 100 200 . 400.

1000. Runners. I've seen that a few times. In one day.

Penny stocks more than i do but i also understand that a lot of us like to swing trade me included and when you swing trade you're particularly focused on more of those real stocks. I mean listen yes yes you can swing trade penny stocks literally that's no joke. I actually had goose bumps as i said that if you want horrific nightmares. If you wanna wake up screaming in the middle of night with cold sweats.

If you wanna stay up all night pacing the floor waiting for that 4 00 am open or if it's an otc you gotta wait all the way till. The market open. If that is the type of pain and anxiety you wish to put on yourself swing trade penny stocks. But if you like to be exposed to the market especially if you're part time trader swing trading real stocks is a very great methodology and process.

I actually have a swing trading course. I think it's still out there. But i have a lot of videos talking about swing trading check out the steadytrade team every monday night every monday night. We do a swing trade strategy session.

Where i have an entire worksheet where we break all of it down. But that being said i think especially if you're part time. Especially. If you're new and you like to sleep at night swing trading is a great way to get exposure to these stocks that don't dump offerings on you you know midday offerings and they tank.

40. Or the ceo. Gets arrested with a bag of cocaine or something. And the stock drops 80 or you find out that they have no physical office.

They're located in a mailboxes. Et. Cetera or a ups store or something okay so if you like real stocks. I'm gonna talk about today tipranks okay so tipranks you may be familiar with tipranks great.

Website out there you can go to tiprankscom. Highly recommend it i've used it for probably about a decade been a big fan of tipranks. But what's cool is going back to this kind of idea of what we try and do at stockstotrade and by the way. If you don't have the trial get the trial get access and check out all these features.

We'll have a link below. But tipranks is a service that's we have integrated. We partnered with tipranks and it really gives you some great data again about any stock about penny stocks et cetera. But for me.

The use case scenario. I use it for is those again those real stocks that i'm looking to see what the analysts are doing what the insiders are doing and what the hedge funds are doing okay. So i'm gonna be talking about amazon. I've been doing a lot of videos on amazon.

We talked about a couple weeks ago and i think it's just a great example couple weeks ago. We talked about the foolishness of buying pre split stock tank after the split producer insert like some sort of bell noise right there nailed that one then i did a video about a week ago. Where we talked about looking to risk off the 52 week lows around that 102 104 area that's held so far stock traded as high as like 111. Today.

So far holding that 52 week lows and a lot of what went into my decision was using tipranks so i'm gonna walk you through the information you have here kinder step by step and you can see i've got three tabs. I can type in any ticker. Okay if i type in tesla. I can get the tipranks data on tesla.

I can type in apple amazon et cetera so right up the bat i've got many indicators. I've got this box up here amazon currently is strong buy based on tipranks data again i'm gonna walk you through that you saw tesla. I kinder went through it quickly currently has a buy rating. But you've got your buy ratings your sell ratings strong sell your neutrals your strong buys.

And again going back to amazon currently a strong buy and now let's start with the analyst. So understand analysts. Yeah. You know i have a little bit of a love hate relationship with analysts.

But they get paid. I would never call them pumpers. But they get paid to publish on stocks so they have a vested interest in getting the stock to move their way. But anyway you can see that 95 of the 38 analysts.

So you can see right here. Based on 38. Analysts. 95 of them have a buy rating.

3. Have a hold. And then only 3. Have a sell so that's where your strong buy rating comes from and then you can kinder go through here.

And you can see who the analysts are what firm they are with what their position is their price targets. What the most recent action is and then the date of that action. So you can see i'll just start right. Here at the top brian white has a buy target or a buy rating with a price target of 185.

I mean listen i think amazon can retest those pre split eyes. But so he reiterated that price target and then he did that today actually so then you can also click this link and you can get a breakdown of that so i won't spend too much time on it. But you can see a little bit of the background on brian. Why he issued that 185 price target why he reiterated it et cetera et.

Cetera and then you can scroll down through and maybe you wanna look at. I mean listen nothing wrong with having different opinions hopefully. Where's the guys with the sell rating. There he is okay so stefan slowinski at bnp paribas.

He's an oil company anyway. So he's got a sell rating. But this is way back in the spring. But again if you want both perspectives you can now go back to his article and see first sell rating.

Says 2020. That's funny sometimes you get lucky stefan. I wish you the best first sell rating since 2020. Good luck with that stefan anyway always good to look at we live in a very polarized world a lot of people only want to have bias confirmation and it's good.

I wish you the best stefan so anyway and then you can see we have a graph of where these price targets are on the graph kinda high low number and then the trend you can kinda. See the trend. There next is the insiders so this is cool. I mean listen you gotta always be aware of what the people on the inside are doing ultimately they know the most about the company you know good old jeff obviously.

Well jeff's off living the life man. He's getting jacked. He's getting tan. He flying on his space shift.

But until jeff was off living the life nobody knew more about amazon than jeff and so you wanna look at what they're doing so a lot of sells. Okay gotta buy here. But you can see flat out. A lot of insiders selling so you can see now the very negative sentiment based on what the insiders are doing so now you're building that case so now you look at the analysts and you're like whoa these guys are crazy bullish.

But then you flip over to the insiders. The people that are working in the company. You know the chairman of the board. The ceo of aws.

You know executive chair and director jeff bezos. A lot of selling going on now that could simply be i mean think about it a lot of these sells were about a month ago. If you look at amazon a couple months ago you were at all time highs. Okay so i don't necessarily when it came to my decision.

I wasn't that concerned you know a lot of these are going back to even spring. Even back into the winter and again the stocks at all time highs all time highs since it ipoed back in the early 2000s. Okay i mean i don't necessarily consider that that bearish because hey i mean what do you do when one of your stocks is up hundreds of percent and it's at all time highs probably time to take a little bit off the table. You know jeff probably has billions and billions and billions in stock he wants to buy himself a new spaceship he sells some stock at all time highs.

But you still need to be aware that insiders are selling next. We're gonna look at the hedge funds again follow the smart money right at the top you can see ken fisher. Very well respected. There's my boy warren.

Buffett. Okay so warren buffett has 1700 so he's got. 17 billion in amazon. Stock okay ken fisher has 77 billion geez o pete i didn't know ken swinging a line man anyway and you can see that he's.

Adding i mean even with 77. Billion in amazon. He's adding. Okay listen you don't get to the point.

Where you can be a warren buffett or a ken fisher or any i mean. 90 of these guys are probably billionaires. That's where you follow smart money right up here at the top hedge funds have increased their holdings by 15. Million shares in the last quarter now understand and i'm too dumb okay before the split amazon was trading.

At 2200 a share. So 2200. 15 million. Whoops yeah.

I mean that's. 330 mino. No i. Did.

The. Math wrong 2200 i typed too. Fast. Times 1500000 is.

33. Billion okay. Smart money in the last. Quarter has bought 33.

Billion. In amazon. Stock. What's that tell you okay and again not like billionaires.

They make mistakes they all make mistakes. But over time you don't get to be a billionaire by doing stupid stuff. Okay. Well hey you might get a divorce like jeff and cost you half your money.

But he's still got a trillion left. But anyway so that shows you that 424 hedge funds have holdings in amazon and a significant majority of them have been buying so again go back to the previous video we'll link it below still very bullish amazon risking off of the 52 week lows remember you always have to have a plan you always have to trade with a stop loss doesn't matter how many boxes you check you have to have a stop loss. But based on the analysts and the hedge funds looks good for amazon insiders. A little concerning.

But only a little concerning because they probably wanna buy new yachts new houses new boats and new spaceships all right everyone.
