Most financial content out there isn't really analysis. It's just opinions dressed up in fancy financial terms. Predicting the future is tricky, and most analysis tries to find patterns in what's basically random noise. Humans aren't great at understanding randomness. Even smart people can fool themselves into thinking they can predict things like coin tosses.

To really get a handle on market behavior, you need to look at it as a series of trials. Over time, certain patterns will emerge. By using complex mathematical models like Kolmogorov-Markov frameworks and kernel density estimations (KM-KDE), you can measure probability densities and spot trends. This is crucial for options trading, but most financial publications don't use these methods. Not using KM-KDE is like trading without a safety net.

Let's look at three companies: Novo Nordisk (NVO), SoFi Technologies (SOFI), and Fastenal (FAST). NVO has dropped almost 45% this year. Some say it's undervalued, but what's that based on? Just changing one assumption can change the whole outlook. Using a custom algorithm with a KM-KDE framework, NVO's stock could range between $47. 40 and $49 over the next 10 weeks, with a likely clustering at $48. 35.

SOFI has had a good run, up about 64%, but it's been down recently. Using the same framework, SOFI's stock could range between $23 and $26. 50, with a likely clustering at $24. 80. For those willing to take a risk, the 25/27 bull spread could offer a big payout.

FAST has also seen some ups and downs. Using the KM-KDE approach, FAST's stock could range between $39. 30 and $41. 50, with a likely clustering at $40. 75. Aggressive traders might consider the 40. 00/42. 50 bull spread.
