Q3 2025 Stock Performance Review

We have enjoyed six straight months of a non-stop bull rally since the scary April lows. 

It is fair to say that most of you are enjoying these gains as well given the +8.11% tally for the S&P 500 in Q3, and now up +15.19% on the year. 

For as good as that is, those investors leaning on the Zen Ratings are finding even more upside in our A rated Strong Buy stocks:

+17.96% in Q3 (July thru September)

+25.05% year to date
