Long picks · Hot shorts
Picks log
Two dated logs, newest first. Long picks are calls the desk stands behind after the full process. Hot shorts are what the morning forensic short screen flagged; they are screen output, not recommendations. Entries are kept as posted, with the price at the time and the SEC filing behind each.

Prices and flags are as of the stated time and are not updated live. Student research, not investment advice.
Note on the Oct 9, 2026 split. Until Oct 9 this page was a single “pick of the day” log. That day the desk split it into long picks and hot shorts: the short entries (AIXI, Oct 8, OLB, Oct 9) became hot-shorts screen flags; the long entry (INTU, Oct 8) moved to the watch list because it has not traded at its buy-below, so it is not a long pick. Dates, prices, reasons and links are unchanged, and each row shows the label it was first posted under.
Long picks log
Longs that cleared value, red-flag check, timing and sizing. The newest one is shown on the home page until a new long qualifies.
No long picks yet. No name has qualified so far; names the desk is watching are listed separately below and are not calls.
