Oftentimes, big money buying is institutional activity. We’ll go over what that looks like in a bit. But, the 5 stocks we see as undervalued candidates are SIMO, AKAM, AMAT, QCOM, & ADI.

At my research firm MAPsignals, we believe that big money trading can alert you to the forward fundamental picture of a stock. We want the odds on our side when looking for the highest quality stocks.

Up first is Silicon Motion, Inc. (SIMO), which is a leading developer of integrated circuits for NAND flash storage devices like the microSD cards used in smartphones.

The best candidates tend to have strong performance. Check out SIMO:
