The MUSCLE Method
Six filters the pros use to screen every IPO. It weeds out the losers early—before they cost you.
From the founder of Renaissance Capital
The New AI
Stock Edge
Navigate the AI stock boom. How the pros spot tomorrow's winners before the crowd.
Bill Smith has spent three decades producing the IPO research Wall Street's biggest institutions act on. In this book, he reveals the system he uses to tell the winners from the wreckage.
You watched the last one run without you. The problem was never your judgment — it was your access. This book gives you the same edge the pros have.

Moneyball Investing
Find the mispriced new stocks Wall Street is too distracted to notice. Fish where the crowd isn’t casting—before institutions re-rate the price.
The AI Value Chain
AI runs in six stages, each with its own risk and reward. This map shows where the profit actually pools. Infrastructure gives you a floor. Applications give you a ceiling that’s much higher.
You don’t win this AI market by working harder. You win by filtering better.
What leaders are saying

The institutional playbook to identify which AI companies will actually deliver—and which won’t.
A rare, inside look at how institutional investors actually evaluate AI-driven IPOs.
Cuts through the noise . . . before the market catches up.
Testimonials reflect individual opinions and are not guarantees of future performance or success. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
