For years, growth stocks have been beneficiaries of outsized gains compared to the averages. The best growth stocks have 3 traits: strong fundamentals, great technicals, and a history of Big Money activity in the shares. Outlier stocks see a lot of Big Money buying.

In this article:

Oftentimes, that can be institutional activity. We’ll go over what that looks like in a bit. But, the 5 stocks we see as long-term candidates are NFLX, PYPL, UPST, ASML, & TSLA.

For MAPsignals, we believe that Big Money trading can alert you to the forward fundamental picture of a stock. We want the odds on our side when looking for the highest quality stocks.

Up first is Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), which is the leader in on-demand video.

Strong growth candidates tend to have strong performance. Check out NFLX:

  • YTD performance (+16.68%)
  • Historical big money signals

Just to show you what our Big Money signal looks like, have a look at the top buy signals Netflix has made the past few years.

Blue bars are showing that NFLX was likely being bought by a Big Money player according to MAPsignals.

When you see a lot of them, I call it the stairway to heaven:

Next up is PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL), which is a leading digital payments firm.
