This week’s issue is packed with real AI-generated stock ideas, a proven moving average strategy, and insider signals you can actually verify yourself. We’ve included clear instructions to fact-check every prompt - because in the AI era, confidence comes from validation.

AI Stock Picks of the Week

“Hidden Gem: SynTech (STEC)”
This week’s model flagged SynTech due to low forward P/E, recent insider purchases, and rising sentiment in analyst chatter. AI forecast: possible 15–20% upside based on momentum and earnings trends.

🔍 How to Verify:

• Visit Finviz and search “STEC”

• Confirm forward P/E under “Valuation” section

• Check insider buys via MarketBeat Insider Trades

• Compare AI sentiment using FinChat or Yahoo Finance news feed summaries

AI Tools & Platforms for Investors

Tool Spotlight: FinChat
FinChat is an AI-powered research assistant used by 300,000+ investors. It summarizes earnings calls, interprets balance sheets, and analyzes sentiment - all through natural language input.

🔍 How to Verify:

• Visit finchat.io

• Paste an earnings transcript from your watchlist stock

• Ask: “What were the top 3 bullish and bearish points from this call?”

• Compare its summary with the original transcript for accuracy

Prompt of the Week

‘List the top 5 undervalued semiconductor stocks based on Q1 2025 EV/EBITDA < 8, recent insider buying > $100k, and positive AI sentiment score.”

🔍 How to Verify:

• Run the prompt in ChatGPT or Claude using plugins or data access

• Cross-check the output using:

  • EV/EBITDA via Finviz or Yahoo Finance

  • Insider buys via MarketBeat

  • Sentiment via FinChat or AlphaSense (if available)

• Confirm the logic by spot-checking one stock manually

Backtested Strategy Spotlight

“200‑Day Moving Average Trend Filter”
According to LuxAlgo, the S&P 500 averages +11.9% annually when above its 200-day MA and -4.3% when below. This makes it a time-tested risk filter used by professionals.

How It Works:

• Buy when price is above 200-day MA

• Exit or shift to bonds when it dips below

• Reduces drawdowns and filters sideways markets

🔍 How to Verify:

• Chart SPY or QQQ on TradingView

• Add the 200-day Moving Average overlay

• Backtest with TrendSpider or Quantified Strategies

• Compare returns when price is above vs. below the 200-day MA

Insider Edge / Data Drop

Semiconductor Sector Signals Emerging
Our AI scanner noticed a pattern of clustered insider buys in mid-cap semiconductors, especially ChipEdge Holdings, which just announced a fab expansion. These patterns often precede 10–15% moves when institutional traders catch on.

🔍 How to Verify:

• Go to MarketBeat Insider Trades and search “ChipEdge”

• Confirm recent purchases by executives or directors

• Search press releases or Yahoo Finance news for recent expansion news

• Use FinChat to summarize news flow for context

🔎 Next Steps:
