The QQQs have stumbled through three straight sessions—five of the last six, actually. Same for the SPY—but our recent trade recommendations kept delivering. Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) is pushing toward its third target, while Ingersoll Rand (IR) and CenterPoint Energy (CNP) hit their third targets for full profits on Wednesday. Our newest pick, Fastenal (FAST), reached all three targets within 48 hours, and our longer-term trade Target (TGT) is profitable. This performance against a weak tape underscores why active stock picking matters—when broad indices struggle, disciplined selection and targeting separate the winners from the wreckage. -Bobby-
