I’ll be honest, my portfolio blew up over the last couple years mostly due to poor trading decisions and trying to time the market. I’ve stepped away from day trading and options for now, and I’m working on building a more stable, long-term portfolio from scratch.
This time I’m focusing on growth stocks that have a shot at outperforming the S&P or broader ETFs. So far, I’m looking at names like PAAS, SOFI, GOOGL, AMZN, and RIVN. I’m also considering something like XEQT as a diversified base layer to balance out the risk.
What are your top stock picks in 2026?

Considering you blew up your portfolio the last few years, start with investing 70% of your portfolio in diversified etfs. Then the rest can be individual stock picks.
Beating the S&P is no small feat that most institutional investors can’t even do. If you’re really interested in alpha and are willing to accept high volatility, try a 2x leveraged etf like SSO. Keep the allocation reasonable though
If it takes forever , I will wait for $U
If U know , U know
NBIS
NKE
ONDS , DGXX , LFMD , BLNE , (IMRX does their 12 month OS readout on the 7th this month, so there might be some good potential there too)
Boeing
$ZETA — for a small cap company (<5b market cap), they have FANTASTIC growth and margins. Everyone will share those same names you hear everyday, but this is a big sleeper. Not up a million % year to date like these other companies as well.
VRT and LRCX
Netflix
Poet
ASTS SLS
NVDA and chill
MSFT and Amazon.
WMT they are always busy and AI will make them the next Amazon. I mean, I can order anything and have it at my doorstep in less than an hour. Come superbowl, I can order booze and wings and it’s at my house. All in on Walmart
the same concentrated names spun up again !
I am all in on NBIS. The CEO has an insane track record and he is a white man who is Jewish and lives in Israel (not getting political, just saying that’s a triple buff).
if AI is cooked everything is cooked anyways
