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 ALGN, SEDG, ILMN, VEEV, & FB.

Up first is Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN), which is the leader in invisible braces.

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

  • 1-year outperformance vs. healthcare ETF (+89.33% vs. XLV)
  • Historical big money signals

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