Our first day to start Q2 and it looks like investors are buying up a storm. After an impressive jobs report released on the Good Friday market holiday last week, where expectations were for 675,000 and the gains came in at 916,000, stock markets were well into the green to start the day. It’s possible that investors are also taking cues from the Biden administration, which is trying to pass a large infrastructure bill on top of stimulus already put into the markets this year. For investors looking to find the best opportunities, the deep learning algorithms at Q.ai have crunched the data to give you a set of Top Buys. Our Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) systems assessed each firm on parameters of Technicals, Growth, Low Volatility Momentum, and Quality Value to find the best Top Buys.
