Managing Editor\u2019s Note:<\/u><\/strong> Today, we\u2019re handing the reins over to our colleague Jason Bodner.<\/p>\n

Jason is an expert at finding \u201cBig Money\u201d companies that avoid hype and outperform the market based on fundamentals.<\/p>\n

And with that, he has developed the incredible \u201cQuantum Edge System<\/a>\u201d that helps him find these winners.<\/p>\n

And it works \u2013 Jason\u2019s Quantum Edge Pro<\/em> portfolio is up 7.5% so far in 2025, while the S&P 500 has only gained 1.5%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This Memorial Day Forecast Could Put Money in Your Pocket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BY JASON BODNER, EDITOR, QUANTUM EDGE PRO<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m always<\/em> looking for trends to identify great stocks. And one just smacked me right in the face: that sticky and sweaty Florida humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend marks the unofficial start to summer. At least for much of the United States\u2026 It\u2019s been hot and humid here in Florida for a while now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end of the school year is right around the corner, community pools are reopening, and people are itching to use their vacation days for some warm-weather travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to AAA, more people than ever will hit the road this Memorial Day weekend. Domestic travel is forecast to increase by 1.4 million travelers over last year to 45.1 million, which would surpass the previous high from 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people will hit the open road, with 39.4 million expected to travel by car. And despite some unsettling headlines lately, air travel is expected to increase 2% to 3.61 million people. American Airlines expects the highest number of passengers today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly the data backs up what I\u2019m feeling. Summer is here, and that means summer travel is ramping up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That has to drive some stocks higher, right? I fired up my Quantum Edge system to see which travel-related stocks have the highest odds of making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wynn Resorts (<\/strong>WYNN<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wynn Resorts most famously owns and operates the Wynn and Encore hotels and casinos in Las Vegas. It also has resorts in Boston and Macau \u2013 an autonomous region on the south coast of China \u2013 and will debut its latest location on Al Marjan Island in the United Arab Emirates in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a quick glance at its Quantum Score and mediocre fundamentals, WYNN doesn\u2019t seem to fit. I like a score between 70 and 85, and I prefer to see the fundamentals also above 70. So, overall, WYNN doesn\u2019t quite measure up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But something caught my eye that most Discretionary stocks aren\u2019t seeing at the moment\u2026 at least not yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out those green bars below. Those signal unusually heavy inflows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some selling (the red bars) in the beginning of the year and during early April\u2019s historic sell-off, Big Money just started flowing into this stock. My system picked up those three buy signals just last week. That contributes to WYNN\u2019s healthy Technical Score of 70.6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Big Money Index, which tracks unusually large money flows, has surged since its April 8 bottom after all the post-Liberation Day panic selling. Back then, that index was at just 37.1, meaning two out of every three Big Money signals were sells. Now, as I wrote in Quantum Edge Pro <\/em>this week, the situation has essentially reversed, with the Big Money Index shooting all the way up to 66.1 in just six weeks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inflows sharply increased last week after the United States and China reached a temporary tariff agreement, which is exactly what you\u2019re seeing above with both the broad market and WYNN, specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not enough to call this a buy, though I definitely think it\u2019s worth watching. I look for companies with strong fundamentals, which give us a higher probability of success, and WYNN\u2019s aren\u2019t where I like to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m keeping WYNN on my watch list. Big Money often knows something before the rest of us do, which is why tracking money flows is so important. I would like confirmation that those recent inflows aren\u2019t just a stronger market but also indicative of institutional interest in WYNN itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal Caribbean Group (<\/strong>RCL<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AAA says a record 19 million Americans plan to take cruises this year, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard of Royal Caribbean. It\u2019s one of the most popular cruise lines, and you may have even taken one of their cruises before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCL\u2019s newest ship, the Icon of the Seas<\/em>, set sail in January 2024 and is the largest cruise ship in the world at nearly 1,200 feet. It has more than 40 restaurants and bars, a water park with six different water slides, an ice-skating rink, an open-air space called Central Park, and can accommodate up to 7,600 passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cruise line is about more than one ship, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCL stock has excellent scores, so it definitely rates as a buy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

RCL\u2019s one-year sales growth of 18.6% and muscular three-year growth of 184.3% lead to its strong Fundamental Score of 79.2. I also like RCL\u2019s solid 17.5% profit margin and high institutional ownership of 81.6%. That\u2019s the Big Money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this leads to Royal Caribbean\u2019s impressive Quantum Score of 79.3. That\u2019s right in my optimal buy zone. And while my system hasn\u2019t picked up any buy signals since the end of January, the data still shows opportunity. And I anticipate more buy signals as institutional money increasingly flows back into stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY<\/a><\/u>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one may be the sleeper of the bunch. Ryanair isn\u2019t all that well known in the United States, but it\u2019s Europe\u2019s largest airline group (by passenger numbers). Ryanair is an Irish company consisting of several low-cost airlines that primarily offer short-haul flights in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That might not be where people are heading this holiday weekend, but Europeans love to travel, too, and people from all around are traveling to that part of the world. The European Travel Commission found that despite rising global uncertainty, international tourist arrivals to Europe rose 4.9% in the first quarter this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, RYAAY too scores right in the sweet spot for Quantum Edge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Big Money is flowing into Ryanair, with five buy signals so far this year, including two earlier this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

RYAAY has the fundamentals to back it up. It boasts a profit margin of 14.3%, with one- and three-year sales growth of 30.1% and 107.9%, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company reported this week that passenger traffic grew 9% to 200 million during the most recent quarter, though profits fell slightly due to a 7% decline in airfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a Quantum Score of 77.6, Ryanair is right in my optimal buy zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can all spot trends around us (like travel and tourism) and use those as starting points for investing research. It\u2019s ultimately the data and analysis behind my system that pinpoints exactly where the best opportunities are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the ability to track those all-important money flows, and you\u2019re likely to arrive at your destination of greater wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy travels! I hope your investments help fund your summer travel plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S.<\/strong> Our Quantum Edge Pro <\/a><\/em><\/strong>portfolio outperformed last week, surging 7.2% on average versus the S&P 500\u2019s 5.3% gain. Our stocks were led by multiple winners with 15%-plus gains in just one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And from a broader perspective, we\u2019re up nearly 7.5% so far in 2025, while the S&P 500 has only gained 1.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headlines will change, but money flows \u2013 the big waves of institutional money \u2013 really move stocks. We see that in how strongly our Quantum Edge Pro <\/em>stocks have bounced since the April lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also continuing to screen for fresh opportunities with the key quant ratings that put the odds in our favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
