It's kind of like Santa Claus's uptrend.  Investors want to feel good and whitewash their investment portfolios, which will look full before the end of the year.  Hope this year is the same, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Having limited fund in trading account does make one think very hard when selecting a stock to invest in. Also, being scarred from previous experience of trusting some hype stocks, I'm now more weary of hot stocks without fundamentals.
Homework (Watchlist)
I do my homework by keeping a watchlist. During weekend as prepartion for week ahead, I would scan through ETF, indices to identify potential stocks. There are many places to find such lists, including MooMoo under Explore > Industry, Concepts. I generally look for strong up trending sector then strong momentum stocks within that sector. Group these into a watchlist.
Homework (Basic info)
Then I would look for basic info and latest investment news of the stocks. Again, I just want to know what I'm buying
Depending on my interests in the stocks, I may or may not deep dive into news part. Sometimes to have a feel on upcoming business opportunities of these stocks. Those with merging & acquisition ones may have impact of stock prices.
Unfortunately, I'm not classically trained accountant so I cannot comprehend financial reports in detail. I often just make a note if the company is making profit
Homework (Chart reading)
I try my best to study price structure of the stocks in watchlist. Basic trends, resistance and support levels, volume and candlesticks. Then to make an educated guess on predicting price action.
One tip to share: you can set alerts on some price points to initiate trade.
Execution: Gut Feel?
After all the homework, it's time to trade! Recently I wanted to initiate a long position but I had to choose between $Apple (AAPL.US)$ or $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$. Both were around $150 at the time and were looking uptrend. In the end, I trusted the up trend in Apple and gut feel. Just exited the trade with a small profit but the market is very choppy recently. On hind sight, choosing Apple over AMD was a wise decision because AMD suffered a 15% correction during the same period. Oh, you do need some luck sometimes!
AI Monitor
So I went to check out the AI Monitor at MooMoo. Will give it a try. I see some of the signals are related to my homework. So perhaps I can spend a little less time with homework and more time with family.
The market is rather stormy now, seeing $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ dipped below $900 and other mega cap stocks affected too. Safe trading!
