21 AUG 2024 Ludicrous Returns Stock Model Update

Stocks that hit buy triggers after Market close on 19 AUG (for market purchase on Tuesday 20 AUG:

EOSE, NOVA, KRNT, GKOS

My apologies that I didn’t get the message out sooner on EOSE to share the wealth. EOSE is manufactures batteries for energy storage for the utilities. It is a huge future growth area, as the electrical infrastructure is trying to expand capacity for EVs and artificial intelligence. More specifically, the expansion in capacity is also focused on re-newable energy, which really needs places to store clean energy generation so that it can be put to use when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. I wouldn’t worry that the 26% pop from yesterday was missed, my model predicts plenty of growth ahead for this new opportunity growth stock.
