My Next AI Stock Pick (And Why I’m Buying in the Fear)

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

Before diving in, I’ve got something special for you, I just launched my brand-new Options With Ryan X account.

If you’re on X, make sure to follow me there right now. I’ll be posting real-time stock breakdowns, key levels, trade ideas, and market outlooks directly throughout the week. If you don’t have an X account yet, this is your sign to create one because I’ll be sharing updates there that you won’t see anywhere else.

Here’s what we are covering:

  1. My bullish outlook heading into next week

  2. Client Spotlight: Les’ consistent 50K plus months

  3. Bonus Resource: The next AI stock I just added to my portfolio

Market Snapshot

Right now, I’m very bullish and here’s why. Fear is elevated, the $VIX ( ▲ 22.63% ) is sitting near 20, and yet the market refuses to break down. That kind of resilience tells me smart money is buying quietly while retail investors sit on the sidelines.

$QQQ ( ▼ 0.37% ) is trading around 602, consolidating sideways and waiting for direction. A big move could come soon with upcoming catalysts like Core CPI data next week pending the government shutdown and major earnings reports from $AXP ( ▼ 2.28% ) American Express and $TSM ( ▼ 1.6% ) Taiwan Semiconductor later this week.

In my view, this setup favors the bulls. We had multiple chances to break down and didn’t. That’s strength.

VIX above 20 gives us juicy premiums, so I’m keeping my cash levels light at 12 percent. This is the time to collect income while fear pays us higher premiums.

QQQ indecisive and consolidating here.

Fear is elevated!

Client Spotlight

This week, we’re featuring our client Les, who started his first month with a 59,000 dollar profit and has been replicating those kinds of results month after month since joining.

We also had some great wins today. Raymond closed out a 409 dollar profit on a 50K account, and another client booked a 3,381 dollar win this morning. Consistency compounds.

Bonus Video

In my latest YouTube video, I break down two AI stocks I’m adding to my portfolio, including one that just hit three consecutive quarters of positive earnings and could flip to a positive PE ratio next quarter. I’ve already added a small position myself. Watch the video below for the full breakdown and entry levels.

Remember, the best opportunities always feel uncomfortable, that’s why most people miss them.
