Chart-focused portfolio manager details performance of 21 stock picks

The article describes how the author spent summer scanning thousands of charts and using a technical approach across 21 individual picks.

Yahoo Finance publishes a guest-style column from a portfolio manager who says he spent part of the summer scanning thousands of stock charts each morning, writing daily stock analysis, and applying technical analysis to 21 individual stock picks.

The author frames the work as an extension of a portfolio-construction mindset rather than pure single-ticker selection, arguing that ETF-focused analysis remains central to his broader approach to building portfolios.

He also explains that, before stepping in as a guest columnist behind Barchart’s “Chart of the Day” newsletter for two separate stints, he approached the switch as a logistical challenge and an opportunity to put his technical skills on display across the 21 picks.
