The Hot List

Assets ranked by a transparent Strength Score — momentum + trend + risk + real federal-contract flow. Live data, updated Aug 16, 2026.
How to read this: the score blends 6-mo momentum, trend vs. 200-day, drawdown, and live government-contract awards (🏛️ = real USASpending.gov data). It surfaces candidates — it is not a prediction. Hot names can reverse and are often already crowded. Not financial advice.

Smart-money overlays

✅ LIVE: Federal contracts (USASpending.gov) — real award $ now bumps the score (Palantir +$2.6B, Constellation +$270M, Eaton +$150M).

Wiring in next (server-side, on a schedule):
• Congress trades (STOCK Act disclosures) — is a politician buying this name?
• 13F institutional flow — is BlackRock / Buffett net-buying?
• Whale on-chain moves (crypto) — big wallets accumulating or dumping?
Each will adjust the score transparently — you'll always see the "+X" and why.
Scores from live price data (Yahoo / exchange APIs) + live federal-contract data (USASpending.gov), rank-normalized across the universe. Expands to your whole connected platform once linked. Informational only — not financial advice. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
