Some Standout Trades from Last Week

Last Wednesday, I talked about all the winning trades we were seeing, despite the market’s whacko behavior…

Of course there were plenty of penny stock and day trade winners, and there still are, but I also said not to forget about swing trades.

In fact, I gave a list of swing trade picks to my StocksToTrade Advisory members the week before.

I liked these names for two reasons…

Number One: Some of them were IRIS picks.

IRIS is a system I designed exclusively for swing trading. It harnesses the power of AI to spot winning swing trade stocks. 

It also delivers daily watchlists, alerts, and everything you need to level up your swing trading game

And Number Two: These names experienced some major pullbacks, which made them more affordable. I saw their discounted prices as an opportunity for more people to access quality stocks.

In case you’re not familiar with swing trading, here’s an explainer…

What is Swing Trading?

Let’s talk about a trading style that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves…

Think of swing trading like the middle ground between investing and day trading.

You’re not marrying a stock for years… 

But you’re not just in and out within five minutes either. 

Instead, you’re holding for days — maybe a week or even a few months— looking to ride the momentum of a move that’s already in motion.

With this approach, you can make day-trade-like gains without being glued to your computer all day long.

Who Is Swing Trading For?

Honestly, swing trading isn’t for everyone.

If you’re the type of trader who checks your account every five minutes or panics on every red candle, swing trading might drive you nuts.

But if:

• You’ve got a full-time job
• You can’t stare at your computer screen all day
• You want to let your trades work a little longer
• Or you’re looking to diversify outside of day trades…

Swing trading could be exactly what you need.

Some of My Recent Swing Trade Picks

Many of you know I’m a long-term bull on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA). I’ve held it in my portfolio for years…

 

But it’s also great for swing trading. Take a look at the 29%* two-day move it made last week.

Hims & Hers Health Inc. (NYSE: HIMS) saw a nice 32%* win last week. 

And then there was NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA), which has been all over the place in 2025. 

After its most recent pullback last week, it delivered a 34%* gain.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR), an investor favorite and another AI play like NVDA, didn’t disappoint either. 

Last week, it returned 34%*.

All of the names above have since pulled back by varying degrees…

But those are just more buying opportunities for those who didn’t get in already!

My Final Thoughts…

Swing trading isn’t better or worse than day trading — it’s just different.

In fact, it complements day trading beautifully.

While I’m trading intraday for quick cash flow, my swing trades are cooking in the background.

Different timeframes. Different pace. Same mindset.

If you want to build real skills as a trader, you should understand both.

You should know how to manage a trade over hours and over days.

That’s how you grow.

For both approaches, have a plan, respect your risk, and let the trade work.
