CommentsStocks or Exchange Traded ProductsNo exits this week, but our core strategy continues to perform well, driven by the returns of our top names.So far, we have 6-month returns for 50 weekly top names cohorts since we started this Substack at the end of December, 2022.(Click on image to enlarge)(Click on image to enlarge)(Click on image to enlarge) And as you can see above, our top names have averaged returns of 23.41% over the next six months, versus SPY’s average of 12.77%.
