One of the wildest stock moves last week had nothing to do with AI – until suddenly, it did.
Last Wednesday, Moderna, Inc. (MRNA) soared 177% after reporting positive Phase 3 trial results for its personalized mRNA cancer vaccine. The treatment is being developed with Merck & Company, Inc. (MRK), for patients with melanoma.
The positive trial results sparked the rally, which was then amplified by heavy short covering.
At the same time, money suddenly flowed out of several AI stocks.
Nothing had fundamentally changed at those companies. Wall Street had simply found something new to chase.
That’s the kind of thing we tend to see during what I call the “seasonal shenanigans” of August. Trading volume is light, many professional traders are away from their desks and relatively small shifts in money can produce exaggerated moves.
Now, don’t get me wrong. The results from this trial are wonderful news.
But I prefer to focus on the fundamentals, not whatever stock Wall Street happens to be chasing that day.
Which raises an interesting question…
If I had $10,000 to invest in the stock market today, where exactly would I put it?
Well, in this week’s Navellier 蜜桃传媒 Buzz, I answer that question and reveal the two stocks I’d put that money into right now – including how much I’d put into each.
I also explain why I’m not worried about the latest Federal Reserve rate-hike chatter, the Treasury Department’s bond buybacks and Walmart Inc.’s (WMT) confusing drop after announcing earnings.

The Other Half of the $10,000 Question
As you can see, deciding where to put $10,000 isn’t as simple as finding a few stocks you like. You also have to decide how much of that money each stock deserves.
And that’s something investors often overlook.
That’s why simply owning the right stocks may not be enough. How you build your portfolio around them matters, too.
And recently, Eric Fry, Luke Lango and I took that idea further than we ever have before.
Together, we narrowed more than 200 recommendations down to roughly 20 AI stocks we believe stand out today. But we didn’t stop at just telling you what to own.
For the first time, we’re providing specific allocation percentages for every position.
And to make those recommendations even easier to put to work, we’ve created a Position Size Calculator. You can use it to determine how much money to put behind each recommendation based on the size of your own portfolio.
It’s all part of a new approach Eric, Luke and I have taken to investing – one that goes beyond simply finding the right stocks.
Because the reality is, we’ve already found plenty of them.
We’ll continue to do that, but the harder question is how to bring our best ideas together into a portfolio that investors can actually follow.
We recently sat down for to explain why this approach is so important right now, how we built a portfolio around it and how you can put it to work yourself.
