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.

held at equal weight: the Ticker Nerd 20
- 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.

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

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.
Who it's for.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
Membership is the twenty names, a brief on each, an email with every buy and sell, the rank, the ledger and Themes.
