Yes, strong fundamentals are an excellent method for stacking the deck in your favor.
But more experienced traders should apply more in-depth analysis.

At first glance, these fundamentals look awful.
But for some stocks; the story turns out to be the same one we all lived after college.

The Analogy:
Student loans → high long‑term debt​
First mortgage → negative operating margin​
Credit card balances → red ROA/ROE​
Pennies in checking → low quick ratio​
On paper, we looked terrible.

But we had solid careers:
two incomes​
cash flow covering everything​
The debt wasn’t scary — because the cash engine was stronger than the liabilities.

Moral:
When cash flow is strong, the “bad” labels don’t define the balance sheet — the trajectory does.

There are companies/sectors work the same way: high leverage, thin liquidity, ugly margins… but massive cash coming in.
That green green cash outweighs the red debt.​

The catch?
They walk a tightrope. They’re fragile, volatile, and every whisper has an explosive effect on price.​
Which is precisely why they’re on a day trader’s watchlist—high-risk, high-reward, explosive movers.
Reason #901: Why trading a small corral of stocks whose behavior and catalysts are well-understood, is the path to retail trading profitability.
