How the record is calculated

Each dated selection receives the same hypothetical dollar investment at the first regular-market opening after publication. A weekend or holiday selection waits for the next trading session. Each repeat selection on a different date is a separate investment. All positions are held; the average is the arithmetic mean of their individual price returns, equivalent to the return on equal dollars contributed to every pick, without rebalancing.

Returns use the latest verified USD price, with recorded share adjustments for stock splits. They exclude dividends, fees, taxes, and currency effects. Quotes are refreshed with the daily briefing and show their own dates; a stale quote is retained and labeled rather than dropped. Picks missing an entry or latest verified price remain in the history but are excluded from rankings and the average. This is a hypothetical record, not an annualized or time-weighted return.

The S&P 500 benchmark assigns the same dollars to the S&P 500 price index at each pick’s exact entry timestamp and values that contribution at the same timestamp as its stock quote. Both sides exclude dividends. The aggregate benchmark and lead or lag appear only when every priced pick has matching index data; missing matches never become zero or cause a pick to be removed. Lead or lag is measured in percentage points. Index figures model an investment and exclude fund fees and tracking differences. About the S&P 500 ↗
