Hey,
Charles here.
Andrew's got two picks this week, and they both came from the same place: his Fingerprint Scanner doing what it does best: sniffing out momentum shifts before the crowd catches on.
One stock sells stuff most people won't talk about at dinner but can't stop Googling at midnight.
The other is a discount retailer trading like it owes somebody money.
Both are at inflection points, and Andrew's playing each one differently.
If you think "buy calls" is the only move, you're about to get a lesson in creative positioning.
Here's Andrew's breakdown.
One to Love: The Stock Nobody Wants to Talk About
There are a million puns I can make for this stock, but the reseller of ED drugs and weight loss specialty drugs has had a volatile year. Yes, I'm talking about Hims and Hers Inc (HIMS). I first caught this as a breakout stock in my Flash 10 and have followed it since.
My Fingerprint Scanner looks for momentum, and HIMS is rebuilding after touching $70 in 2025. It has since fallen back after hitting the 10% gain threshold. So why do I like it?
Mostly growing revenues. While there are temporary setbacks, the stock and company continue to grow. I'm not buying calls but selling out-of-the-money puts to take shares. I think the story is still fluid before it returns up again. HIMS did take out the 10% rebound area before the Iran dustup.
1 YEAR HIMS
I expect this segment to keep growing and HIMS to participate.
One to Hate: When the Market Marks You Down
Stocks close to a 52-week low generally make a 52-week low, and Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI) is marked on my list for a new one. The stock sits about $3.00 from 52-week lows, and my question is why.
It doesn't have a lot of debt, and consumers have been strong, but the specter of Big Lots might be in investors' heads. Traders have gone into multiple compression mode, and OLLI is not an exception.
OLLI 1 YEAR CHART
The total loss of confidence in the stock is disheartening. Like any short candidate, keep a tight leash on it. There have been some downgrades, but I expect a 52-week low before it gets the news it needs to bounce back.
To Your Trading Success,
AG
So there you have it.
A health stock selling a product people pretend they don't need, and a discount chain getting discounted by the market.
Andrew's selling puts on one and watching for a new 52-week low on the other.
Two different setups both built from the same Fingerprint Scanner momentum data.
The real question now: what will the team pick on Monday?
