The track record

Every published pick is bought at the open and sold at the close of the session it was made for, with simulated trading costs, then compared to the S&P 500 on that same day. Each one still carries the conviction level we gave it that morning, before anyone knew how the session would end. The losing calls stay up. That is the entire point of this page.

You will often see a bigger number on Google or Yahoo. They measure from the previous close, which includes the overnight move that had already happened before you read the pick. We only count what you could have captured: open to close, on the day.
