Where the money is

Stocks like these often move 10% or more on earnings day.

Real outcomes vary. In a panic, stocks that usually move separately tend to fall together, so true losses can exceed these estimates.

Backtest: the same rules over the past year

What would have happened if these rules had picked the portfolio every month from Oct 31, 2025 to Oct 5, 2026, starting with your stake.

Month by month

Tap a month to see what the rules held.

Read this with care. The list of stocks to choose from was set in October 2026, so it leaves out companies that collapsed or were delisted during the year. That makes the backtest look better than live results are likely to be. One year is also a short test, and it was a strong year for AI stocks.

Is it a fit for you?

Five quick questions. Your answers stay in this browser.

The rules

The portfolio follows these rules exactly. No one picks stocks by feel.

  1. Trend filter. A stock qualifies only if its price is above its 50-day average and the 50-day is above the 200-day average.
  2. No chasing spikes. Anything more than 60% above its 50-day average is skipped.
  3. Score. 40% weight on the 3-month return, 35% on 6 months, 25% on 12 months (skipping the latest month), each compared with the rest of the universe.
  4. Pick ten. The top ten scores, with no more than two from the same industry.
  5. Equal weight. The money is split evenly across the ten.
  6. Stop rule. If a stock closes 20% below its highest close since purchase, it is sold and the cash waits for the next rebalance.
  7. Rebalance monthly. On the first trading day of each month, using the prior close, the list is rebuilt from scratch.

Momentum is one of the most studied patterns in stock returns, but it fails sharply at times, usually when a market that fell hard suddenly reverses. Past returns, including the backtest, do not predict future results.

Projections use a simple random-walk model that understates the chance of extreme days. Treat the ranges as rough.
