The Nasdaq Book
The Nasdaq 100 and the faster names behind it.
Every company in the Nasdaq 100, and about nine hundred names behind them, on the Nasdaq and the NYSE, filed in forty-six themes. The large ones you know. The small ones have more room to run and more ways to be wrong, so those positions carry wider stops and smaller size.
- The nightly screen: the Nasdaq 100 and about 900 names, ranked every evening
- Forty-six themes, each priced nightly, with a page, a follow and an alert
- A written thesis with every position, the day it opens
- The model portfolio included, as with the S&P Book

What you get with this book.
The nightly screen
Every Nasdaq 100 name and about nine hundred behind it, ranked every evening by how far each has stretched from its own trend. One filter narrows it to the hundred, another to a theme.
The picks
Live positions in Nasdaq names, opened when the setup earns one. Each carries its thesis, what would change my mind, and the note I write at the close. A position in a company that sits in both indexes, Apple or Nvidia, shows in this book and in the S&P Book.
Sizing you can copy
Every position is published with its weight, with wider stops and smaller size than in the S&P Book, because there is more noise between the entry and the thesis. Mosaic Mid-Horizon, the model portfolio, comes with this book too.
The record, shown as it is
Every position this book has closed is on this page, the losses beside the gains. Each is measured the same way: the exit against the entry, per position, before fees.
And with every book
The iOS app, the archive of every closed position with its thesis and exit note, the letters, the watchlist, the X-ray of your own book and the forty-six themes. The same discipline whichever books you hold.
Forty-six themes, each with a page of its own.
Nuclear, AI power, robotics, water, genomics: lists of names that cut across sectors. Each is priced from our own bars every night, at equal weight, against the S&P 500 over the window you pick. What a list did, never a return anyone earned.
- A page per theme: the names by weight, the breadth, the median quality against the S&P 500
- Follow a list and its names join your screener and your alerts
- Your book X-rayed by theme: how much of each you actually own
Where they landed
An average hides whether a record came from steady gains or one outlier. This is every closed position in the book, by return, with the losses on the left where they belong.
Per position, gross, exit against entry. No fees, no sizing. Not a portfolio return, and never added to the model portfolio's.
Every closed positionAdd another book any time.
The price depends on how many books you hold, never on which, so adding one later costs exactly what adding it now would.
