Our Story

Ride your winners, cut your losses

No matter their background, every investor has the same tough questions to answer:

What to buy? \ When to buy? \ How much to buy? \ When to sell? \ How to manage risk?

The difference in financial outcomes is related to how you, the investor, answers each of these critical questions.

Our mission at Trending Stocks is to make rule-based investing easy with a user-friendly platform that helps you make good investment decisions without emotion. It’s the democratization of investing.

Our platform identifies trending stocks so you can buy when the trend is moving upward and calculates a corresponding stop-loss position so you can sell to minimize loss or lock in gains. At Trending Stocks, limiting downside risk is just as important as upside gain.

Meet John Duffy

Founder of Trending Stocks

John was working as Senior Vice President at one of the nation’s leading healthcare insurance providers, during three serious financial downturns within just eight years.

During this time he and his colleagues, friends and family lost more than 60% of their savings in the stock market because their advisors and 401K administrators had led them to believe the best way to build and maintain financial security was by using a rather inflexible buy and hold strategy.

Through extensive research, John discovered a highly successful investment strategy called trend following. The major drawback being the time and labour involved in identifying and charting trending stocks.

John combined the knowledge and experience he acquired developing IT software for Fortune 500 companies with his passion for investing to create a platform that would give people of all investment backgrounds the power to manage their portfolios.

With advanced degrees in business and economics, and his long career in business and the US Navy, he pays close attention to the economy and the markets. He is more convinced than ever that all generations need to take control of their financial future. Especially the younger generation and especially now when stating early has a huge impact in their current and future life.

Today’s world is constantly changing, and the Trending Stocks process gives investors the ability to build wealth and manage risk, daily.

Richard Dennis and Michael Covel completely changed my investing philosophy and my life.
