we'll show you nine excellent resources that you can use to find stocks on your
own my name is Brian Feroldi and my name is Brian Stoffel
thanks to stockcard.io for sponsoring today's video all right brian kick it off what's the first
way that we find stocks etfs or exchange traded funds are a great place to mine for ideas just
crack open an etf that has a theme that you're interested in here are a few examples of eight
different funds we think might be interesting if you like high growth or medical device or software
companies simply take the etf ticker symbol type it into your favorite search engine with the word
holdings click on the link and you'll get a list of all of the stocks that that funds holds boom a
list of stocks to start researching number two is to use a website called whalewisdom.com this is a
wonderful tool that you can use and you can put in your favorite fund manager into whale wisdom and
they will give you a full list of all the stocks that that fund manager owns you could also see
how big a position it is in their portfolio which can give you a sense of their conviction i made a
more detailed video on exactly this topic click the link on your screen if you want to watch it
third it's always fun to look at companies that have recently come to the public markets that can
be ipos or initial public offerings or companies that have come public through less traditional
routes like direct listings or special purpose acquisition companies either way you can go to
a website like iposcoop.com and you can look at a list of companies that have recently come public
you can search by the type of industry they're in or you can get an idea for which companies are
about to come public so you can start researching their prospectuses four everyday life when's the
last time you looked at your credit card statement have you noticed is there a new company on here
or is there a company that i spend my money with all the time or ask your friends and family what
companies are they talking about what products or service are they excited about keeping an ear out
in your everyday life to find products services that you love could make great investments fifth
there are tons of free articles out there that can help you find stocks that are worth investing
in our personal favorite is the motley fool they produce hundreds of articles that are high quality
every day that help you understand the market but it's not the only one there are other free
services and sub stacks where you can get great investing ideas six podcasts and our youtube
channels there are dozens of great podcasts out there that talk about individual stocks here are
a couple of my favorites find a company that just you write their name down and start your research
process seventh is fintwit which is short for finance on twitter there are a lot of investors
out there who will tell you the stocks that they're investing in and more importantly tell
you the reasoning behind why they're investing in companies you can search for a particular stock
by just putting the money symbol in the search box and following that with the ticker symbol if
you're looking for a place to get started on who to follow you can visit mine or brian's portfolio
and you can click on who we're following to get a list of investors that we think are worth keeping
an eye on eight paid services there are plenty of services out there that you can pay money to
to get stock ideas two services that i personally paid for in the past were multi-full stock advisor
and multi-full rule breakers but there are lots of companies out there that you can give money
to to get high quality research while it's no fun to pay a fee if you just get one good stock idea
per year the service office pays for itself many times over and finally we have stock screeners
stock screeners are a great tool to use they allow you to pick the characteristics that matter
the most to you and find companies that fit your investing framework let's go through an example
using stockcard.ios stock screener let's say that you and i were interested in getting stock
ideas in the artificial intelligence space we would start by clicking start screening stocks
we would name the filter ai stocks we would keep it to the stocks and we are not exchange traded
funds and then down here in the industry sector or keyword we would type in a i or artificial
intelligence stock card is wonderful because they have dozens or hundreds of these collections which
are a pre-vetted group of stocks that meet some kind of category in this case artificial
intelligence we want them to be listed on the nyse or the nasdaq we want them to be a medium
company small company or a large company we want high growth potential i like to have a company
that has already be in the market and has a good record of positive sales growth keeping that as
it is we're going to click apply in the lower right hand corner and we're going to get a list
of stocks right here that are involved in some way in artificial intelligence from there we can
simply sort them by market cap and we see that the biggest companies are microsoft alphabet amazon
tesla but also some companies you may not have heard of such as taiwan semiconductor accenture

our due diligence in our own research now you can go to stockcard.org.io and get three free screens
