Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks
This week we’re pushing Workhorse and whatever else.
There’s been aurora borealis activity visible as far south as Florida. Even more visible with your phone’s camera.
What does that have to do with stock picks? Absolutely nothing. In fact, we don’t even care about the northern lights. At all.
WKHS - $0.77/share, options trade weekly. Workhorse produces electric delivery trucks for last-mile delivery. Workhorse has had many setbacks, and few contracts. A UPS contract falling through was a major setback.
The company has continued to persist, expand, hire, develop, and build. They secured a recent contract with FedEx.
Amazon recently decided to ditch its entire electric fleet in favor of diesel. While this may seem like bad news for the commercial EV sector, we think it indicates something else. Namely, that Amazon went with a company that made huge promises and failed to deliver.
We appreciate the fact that WKHS has managed to survive choppy waters and move forward. They also don’t have the stigma of having failed to meet Amazon’s needs. Imagine getting Bezos bucks and failing.
Oh, and WKHS’s logo looks like a cropped version of the Autobot logo.NAK - $0.33/share, options trade monthly.
While we’re buying up penny stocks, we might as well grab some Northern Dynasty. Another slow and steady upward trend from a low point, mining companies are generally a long-term buy/hold.
We’ve found that writing single-contract calls has a higher rate of success than trying to sell by the lot. It’s tedious work, but it’s a way to juke the bots (most trading is done by bots) and achieve ROI and then profit.ASTS - $23.07/share, options trade weekly. This company is building a satellite-based broadband network for smartphones. The system is capable of providing service completely absent of cellular towers.
Current satellites are capable of only relaying to nearby ground-based towers, and cannot provide broadband to the average consumer.
”But Rocky!” you say, “What about Starlink?!". More like Shitlink. When I want 56k, I’ll dust off my Gateway (with a Pentium 2 processor), thank you very much. No sense in going that slow without the satisfying sounds of a dial-up modem.META - $583.83, 0.34% yield, options trade weekly.
While normally we push publicly traded evil companies because voting our shares gives us some say in how the company is ran, we have another reason for buying into Meta.
It has the best AI Chatbot. It can save your conversations with unique filenames specific to each user.
Yes, you can tell Meta AI to write a historical narrative about a cathedral built in the 18th century that burns down and gets rebuilt within a 4-year timeframe and save the conversation as “conversation_poopaids”. Then later say, “okay Google, tell Meta to pull up conversation underscore poop AIDS” and it will.
We’re not sure if Okay Google can actually interact with Instagram. Frankly, we don’t care.
More to the point, if you compare Meta AI to ChatGPT, you’ll find that Meta AI is superior in every way. You can even tell it to take on the persona of Hitler without it giving you a bunch of shit about ethics. What’s not to love?
Okay Google, tell Meta AI to do shift+enter five times and then pick a random stock symbol and follow the format used above.RHI = $66.67/share, 3.17% yield, options trade monthly. This symbol represents Robert Half. Robert Half does business stuff, like consulting. You may have heard about them as an employment recruiter, like ZipRecruiter, but for professionals.
Our own experiments with Robert Half have been underwhelming. Largely because we reject LinkedIn, and the RHI “community” seems very much to be the same “community” as LinkedIn people. Gross.
Aside from talent services, it’s clear that Robert Half is doing something right on the business side of things. So hey, let’s make some money with RHI.
