Capturing the Explosive Moves Wall Street Misses Daily
Specializing in capitalizing on overlooked 100%–10,000% moves for investors. I'm GREAT at this so you don't have to be.
About
Most investors are still relying on the outdated styles their fathers used, slow, large-cap strategies that miss the real opportunities. At MNS Investing, we focus on the explosive moves of 100–4,000% in a single day that go unnoticed in the broader markets. These opportunities are often ignored, leaving profits uncaptured.
MNS Investing is built on discipline, experience, and trust. With over 20 years of trading expertise, including a decade at Goldman Sachs, founder Jeff Hales created MNS Investing to give investors access to proven, active trading strategies without the stress of managing trades themselves.
Our approach is simple: we handle the trading, you sit back and benefit from quarterly payouts. By combining disciplined risk management with advanced market insight, we turn overlooked momentum into measurable results.
👉 “Your Capital. My Discipline. Equal Great Opportunities"
Our Vision
At MNS Investing, we believe trading is not about chance, it’s about structure, discipline, and timing.
The scanner shown to the right is one of the tools we use daily to identify stocks experiencing unusual momentum and volume. On this particular day, the scanner identified multiple stocks making extraordinary moves, including two stocks up more than 1,000% and five stocks up more than 100%.
These are not monthly or yearly returns. These are single-day percentage moves occurring in the market right now.
These are also the types of opportunities that are often overlooked by traditional investment approaches. While larger firms such as Charles Schwab, Merrill Lynch, Fidelity, and other wealth management institutions typically focus on long-term investing, retirement planning, ETFs, mutual funds, and large-cap equities, we specialize in identifying short-term momentum opportunities occurring in the small-cap market.
While not every stock that appears on the scanner becomes a trade, these are the opportunities we monitor and evaluate every day. Our objective is not to capture every dollar of every move, but to consistently identify high-probability setups, manage risk effectively, and participate when opportunity aligns with our strategy.
The market rewards preparation, patience, and discipline. We simply focus on being ready when opportunity presents itself.
Our Mission
At MNS Investing, our mission is to trade with precision, discipline, and transparency, capturing high-probability opportunities through data-driven systems and controlled risk.
We are committed to delivering consistent results by combining professional strategy, market expertise, and strict execution standards. Every decision, every trade, and every review is guided by structure, not emotion, ensuring the integrity of performance and the protection of investor capital.
Through focus, accountability, and continuous refinement, MNS Investing aims to set a new standard for disciplined, results-based trading.

Monday... what can I say?
After taking a week off to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday, Happy 250th, America! Well, it was time to get back in the office. And what a welcome back the market had waiting.
The star of the day was VEEE.
This ticker put on an incredible show, running more than 800%+ from a low around $4.30 to a high of approximately $41. Moves like that are exactly why I love trading the small-cap momentum market. The volatility created beautiful scalping opportunities all day long for traders who stayed patient and waited for the right setups.
One thing that really helped me today was a recent change to my trading platform. I implemented four new hotkeys, and I have to say, I'm absolutely loving them. They allowed me to execute much more efficiently, which played a big role in capturing some great profits throughout the session.
Besides VEEE, I also traded PLSM and AGEN during the premarket session. Neither one made the headlines, but they both provided quality opportunities. I wasn't chasing either ticker. Instead, I identified my levels, waited patiently for price to break through, and then jumped on the continuation move once my setup presented itself.
That's what trading is all about.
Patience first. Execution second.
But let's be honest... VEEE stole the show. A 800%+ move in a single trading day is hard not to appreciate, and it was a great reminder of why preparation matters. When opportunities like that appear, you want to be ready.
Welcome back, indeed.

Tuesday 07/14/2026
Tuesday turned out to be one of my favorite types of trading days, a one-ticker day.
I absolutely love these kinds of sessions. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy when the entire market is moving and there are opportunities everywhere, but there's something special about being able to focus on just one ticker. You really get dialed in, learn its personality, and understand how it's trading without constantly shifting your attention between multiple stocks.
That ticker today was VEEE.
After an incredible move on Monday, where VEEE exploded roughly 800%+ from around $4.30 to a high near $41.00, everyone was wondering if there would be a second act.
Well... there certainly was.
Tuesday began with a healthy pullback to around $18.23 before VEEE found its footing and staged an incredible reclaim, eventually pushing to a new high of $48.79.
I mean... how can you not get excited about moves like that?
Those are the types of days momentum traders look forward to. The volatility created outstanding opportunities for quick scalps throughout the session, and by staying focused on one ticker, I was able to capitalize on several of them.
As always, I wasn't trying to catch every dollar of the move. That's never the goal. The goal is to identify quality setups, execute the plan, and stack another series of base hits.
Days like today are a great reminder that patience, preparation, and discipline create opportunity. And when a ticker like VEEE is willing to do the heavy lifting, all that's left for us to do is execute.
What an incredible trading day.

Vacation Time!
This marks the beginning of a week-long vacation for me. I'll be away from the office and will return on July 27th.
The reason? My second grandchild is about to make their debut, and there isn't a market move in the world I'd rather catch than that one. I wouldn't miss it for anything.
Wishing everyone a great week of trading while I'm away. Hopefully the markets treat you well... and hopefully Anthropic doesn't decide to launch its IPO while I'm gone! 😄
See you all on July 27th!

MNS Trading Command Center
Monitors
A professional trading setup requires significant screen space, and my workstation is built around a dedicated multi-monitor environment designed for efficiency and clarity. I currently operate six 4K monitors, including four 27-inch Dell displays on the sides and two 32-inch Samsung monitors in the center for primary charting and order execution.
This multi-monitor configuration allows me to track multiple stocks, charts, scanners, and trading tools simultaneously without constantly switching windows. Maintaining real-time visibility across platforms improves decision-making speed and reduces the risk of missed opportunities during fast-moving market conditions.
My current setup is designed with future expansion in mind. I plan to upgrade the center displays to 40-inch monitors and reposition the existing 32-inch monitors to the sides, further expanding the workspace and maintaining a highly organized trading environment.
Hotkeys
Hotkeys are an essential part of my trading process, allowing for fast and precise order execution in rapidly moving markets. I use the Elgato Stream Deck XL as my dedicated hotkey controller, which provides 32 fully customizable LCD keys per page for efficient trade management and execution.
The Stream Deck allows me to build and maintain multiple custom hotkey layouts tailored to different brokers and trading situations. Each key is clearly labeled and easy to access, allowing for consistent and reliable order entry without hesitation. This level of control helps reduce execution delays and improves overall trading efficiency.
My hotkey system is also fully portable. When traveling, I connect the Stream Deck to my Lenovo laptop with preconfigured software installed, allowing for a simple plug-and-play setup. I also maintain a dedicated "hotkey library" page that stores alternative layouts and previous configurations, ensuring I can quickly adapt to different platforms or trading environments when needed.
Trading System
My trading workstation is built around a Falcon F-37GT professional trading computer, a system designed specifically for active traders who require speed, reliability, and multi-monitor performance. The Falcon F-37GT supports up to eight monitors and high-performance configurations such as 64GB of DDR5 memory, providing the processing power needed to run multiple trading platforms and real-time market data simultaneously.
My system is configured with 64GB of RAM and an 8TB drive, with approximately 1.5TB currently in use. It runs Windows 11 Pro over a high-speed fiber ethernet connection to ensure stable and consistent execution. The workstation is dedicated exclusively to trading, with no unnecessary software or files installed, allowing it to remain optimized for maximum performance and reliability during market hours.
Lightspeed - Broker
I use Lightspeed Pro as my primary brokerage platform. Over the years, I have traded through several brokers, including Charles Schwab with DAS Trader Pro, CMEG with DAS Trader Pro, Ocean One Securities with DAS Trader Pro, Webull, and Robinhood. Through this experience, I have found that Lightspeed consistently delivers the highest level of speed, reliability, and professional service.
As a direct-access broker, Lightspeed is specifically designed for active traders and day traders who require fast order execution and dependable platform performance. In my experience, no other brokerage I have used matches the execution quality and efficiency that Lightspeed provides.
For serious day traders who depend on speed and precision, Lightspeed stands out as the best direct-access brokerage platform I have worked with.
