2 Background

Marvin graciously welcomed the fellas into his home on the evening of January 30, 2026 to once again discuss and debate the leading stock selections for the upcoming year. Upon learning that none of the gentlemen picking stocks this evening could become the sole possessor of the coveted tug of war rope, the boys headed to the basement to try their luck with stocks instead.

3 Selections

3.1 Market-Timer Mike

  • Despite admiring Brennen’s newly acquired 2020 Model S with a black exterior and white interior, Mike went against the grain and chose to short $TSLA despite its greatness.
  • Michael is confident the market is about to tank and the rug will be pulled shortly, and he will handily beat everyone once Armageddon arrives any day now.

3.2 Raw Iron Ryan

  • Following a strong 2025 campaign, Ryan pounced on $MSFT 11% drop on selection day to lock in a strong position for the 2026 season.
  • He believes that Microsoft will continue to dominate the technology sector and drive growth through its cloud computing services and software products. Or something, he didn’t come to the conference.

3.3 The Benjamin

  • Beat to the punch on MSFT, Benjamin selected Broadcom $AVGO because he believes in the company’s strong position in the semiconductor industry and its potential for growth.
  • He also appreciates Broadcom’s focus on innovation and its track record of delivering strong financial performance, which he believes will continue to drive the company’s success in the coming years.

3.4 Real Slim Slaney

  • Brennen procrastinated this year and spent hours building a stock filtering tool that he did not use in his final selection, just to keep the haters guessing
  • He ultimately selected $IONQ because he believes in the future of quantum computing and thinks that IONQ is well-positioned to capitalize on this emerging technology. He also appreciates the company’s focus on developing practical applications for quantum computing, which he believes will drive adoption and growth in the coming years.

3.5 T-FERG

  • A new entrant in the 2026 class, T FERG picked General Electric $GE, citing his belief in the company’s ability to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing market.
  • He believes that GE’s focus on aerospace engineering will position it for long-term success.

3.6 Ballin Blamer

  • A new entrant in the 2026 class, Blamer picked American Express, $AXP citing his love for the company’s credit cards and their iconic “Don’t Leave Home Without It” campaign. He believes that Amex’s strong brand loyalty and premium customer base will drive growth in the coming years.
  • Note he does not have an American Express card himself, but he has a friend who does and that’s good enough for him.

4 Stock Deep Dives

Fundamentals, technicals, and sector context for each pick. Data refreshes with every site build; statements, profiles, and peer metrics come from SEC EDGAR, prices from Databento.

TipHow to read these tabs

Price chart

  • 50/200-day moving average: the average closing price over the last 50 or 200 trading days. Price above a rising average signals an uptrend.
  • RSI-14: a momentum score from 0 to 100 based on the last 14 trading days. Above 70 the rally looks stretched (overbought), below 30 the selling does (oversold). It flags stretched moves, not guaranteed reversals.

Financial trends

  • Revenue growth (YoY): sales vs the same period last year, which removes seasonality.
  • Gross, operating, and net margin: the share of each sales dollar left after direct costs, then overhead, then everything including taxes. Negative means losing money at that level. Lenders like AXP report no gross profit line.
  • Diluted EPS: profit per share, using the most conservative share count.
  • Free cash flow: cash generated after capital spending, available for dividends, buybacks, or paying down debt.
  • Net debt: total debt minus cash. Negative means more cash than debt.

Sector & peers

  • Sector ETF: a fund holding the pick’s whole sector (XLK for tech). Both lines start at 0% on selection day, so you can tell whether a pick is beating its sector or just riding it.
  • Market cap: the total value of all the company’s shares.
  • P/E ratio (ttm/fwd): price divided by earnings per share. “ttm” uses the last twelve months of actual earnings, “fwd” uses analyst estimates for the next twelve. Blank when earnings are negative.
