Stride Inc (LRN) is a good buy for a beginner investor with a long-term investment horizon and $50,000-$100,000 available.

Despite neutral trading trends and no recent congress trading data, the company's focus on career learning and partnerships in education provide a solid long-term growth narrative.
The MACD histogram is positive and expanding, indicating bullish momentum. RSI is neutral at 59.022, and moving averages are converging, suggesting a potential breakout. Key support is at 82.697, and resistance is at 88.862, with the pre-market price trading near resistance levels.
