The Ticker Nerd 20

Twenty growth stocks, picked by rules to beat the market.

Most sit outside the S&P 500, so you almost certainly don’t own them yet. A model picks them from 4,600 US stocks it scores every trading day.

The problem

Tired of chasing stocks and always feeling a step behind?

You likely have enough information. What’s missing is rules for what to buy and when to sell. The Ticker Nerd 20 is those rules.

  • Every day

    The model scores about 4,600 US stocks on the same factors.

  • Every four weeks

    The rules review the twenty. Names that fall behind are sold and replaced.

  • Every trade

    You see each buy and sell, and every loss stays on the record.

The record

Built to beat the market. Here is the record.

Every calendar year since 2020, the Ticker Nerd 20 against the S&P 500 Equal Weight (its benchmark) and the S&P 500, down years included. The same rules have run since 2005. Members see every trade.

What you get

The portfolio, the briefs, the rank, the ledger.

Four parts to the Ticker Nerd 20, and no higher tier behind them. Every clip below is the real product, recorded in October 2026.

  • The current twenty, and an email on every buy and sell.

    The current twenty, as members see them — blurred here, because the names are what you're paying for.

    Simulated before 20 July 2026, live since. Backtested figures are hypothetical and were not traded.

  • What each company does and its risks, in plain English.

    The real brief on Workiva, unblurred: the verdict, every factor score, then the SWOT, each point carrying a number. Every holding gets this.

  • Every US stock scored, with the model’s holdings marked.

    Every factor score on every stock, sortable by any of them, with views for the investable 1,500 and the holdings.

  • Every trade from buy to sell, losses included.

    The trade ledger, sorted by profit. Open positions are blurred; every closed trade is shown, losses included.

20

held at equal weight: the Ticker Nerd 20

One dot per stock, counted as at 24 Oct 2026; the S&P 500 is shown for scale. The pool is set by published rules on company size and liquidity.
Mostly outside the S&P 500
Companies worth a few billion dollars. Big enough to trade easily, small enough that the index barely holds them. The crowd is watching other names.
A portfolio, because one moonshot is luck
A hot year carried by one or two names rarely repeats. With twenty stocks at equal weight, no single stock makes or breaks the record. You can match the model any day without a lopsided position.
Growth, checked by value and quality
Buying the fastest growers at any price has lost to the market for as long as researchers have measured it. So every holding must also score well on value and quality: growth at a reasonable price.
Aggressive on purpose
Twenty stocks swing harder than an index fund and will trail it at times. The target is a few points a year over full market cycles. The ledger shows every loss along the way.

Who runs it

Run by a Goldman Sachs–trained trader, with his own money in it.

Aslam Ghouse

I’m Aslam Ghouse. Fourteen years as a systematic trader, nine of them at Goldman Sachs, and a CFA charterholder since 2015.

Trading by model was my day job. Ticker Nerd is the same discipline pointed at stocks.

The model does the choosing, and every trade it has made is published, the losers included.

My own money is in the same twenty stocks members see.

More about me

The fit

Who it's for.

For you if
  • You already invest, and an index fund is the core of it.
  • You check your stocks most days, but no system decides what you do about it.
  • You want individual stocks beside the index core, without picking them off headlines.
  • You would rather see losses published than promises made.
Not for you if
  • You are chasing quick trades, price targets, or the one stock that will make you rich.
  • You are investing your first $1,000. For most people an index fund is the better start.
  • You want to be told what to buy. That is advice, and nobody here gives it.

Questions

What people ask before joining.

Should I just buy an index fund?

For most people an index fund is a fine answer, and nothing here argues otherwise. Membership is for investors who want to own individual stocks anyway, and would rather run that part of their money on published evidence than on headlines — knowing it costs volatility and patience through the stretches when the method lags.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is general information and educational content only, not financial advice. It's published for every reader alike and doesn't consider anyone's personal circumstances. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Advice about your own situation can only come from someone licensed to give it, who knows your circumstances.

Are these hot tips?

No. There are no price targets, no trade alerts and no predictions about where a share is heading. What you get is one systematic portfolio and the evidence behind each name in it. If you want a stock that triples this quarter, this will disappoint you.

Is there a free trial?

No. Membership carries a 30-day full refund instead, which is the same protection without the friction.

How does billing work?

Stripe takes the payment and handles the renewal; we never see your card. A reminder email arrives a week before each renewal, and you can cancel any time — nobody tries to talk you out of it.

What stays free?

The stock pages, the rank and the Monday Market Radar, for good. They will not get thinner to push you toward paying. The Ticker Nerd 20 and Themes are for members.
