A new secular uptrend is beginning for Oil & Gas stocks.

It was a stand out last night during our LIVE Conference Call for Premium Members of ASC Research.

We've got Nvidia earnings after the bell this afternoon. The feeling I shared to my analysts today -- and they all agreed -- is that if Nvidia disappoints, the likely result will be a small speedbump for the overall stock market. But if investors cheer the Nvidia earnings results, then gas is going to get poured on this bull market.

The Russell 2000 Small Cap ETF $IWM does not have direct exposure to $NVDA, so our risks feel limited on the downside. However, in a resumption of the bull market, small caps have a good chance of ripping to and through new highs.

That's the bet we're making today.

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

In this scan, we look to identify the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

In today’s Daily Digest, we’ll review the following:

2. No adjustments are needed today.
3. Exited XME position for a profit.

In crypto, we love posting about our wins.

The 100x gains. The perfect entries. The "called it" moments.

But today, I want to talk about losing money. Because in the midst of this bull market - where we've caught some incredible moves like our 200% gain in OM - I just took an L on a Bitcoin mining trade.

And honestly? I couldn't be happier about it.

Below is the 8th ASC Mastermind  Course. In this video, I got a helpful assist from All Star Charts Director of Research Steve Strazza. 

There's something psychologically magical about dividends. For decades, investors have flocked to all sorts of investment strategies that seek to maximize dividend gains...perhaps because they simply like getting paid to invest. 

But these strategies that focus on dividend-paying stocks...they miss the point entirely. The best way to make money with dividends is not to own the stocks that simply pay the highest yield...it's to own the stocks that pay a dividend while also going up in value.

This is how we avoid common dividend traps like Verizon, AT&T, Phillip Morris, and other companies that have a nice yield but are otherwise garbage investments. 

At All Star Charts, we came up with a new to find the best dividend-paying stocks. We call it The Young Aristocrats. And in this Mastermind course, you'll learn how it works. 

Enjoy.

In today's Flow Show, Steve Strazza said: "Bull Markets give us options."

And he's right.

There is an embarrassment of opportunities right now. And he came to the show with a list of ideas that we reviewed. 

You can watch the full episode here:

There were two trades I wanted to put on that were discussed during the show.

Today, I'm choosing to enter the Gamestop $GME idea.

So here's the $GME chart:
