Zen Ratings Performance Review

Let’s wind the clock back one year to June 2025. 

We just emerged from a nasty 20% correction for the S&P 500 thanks to the fear of trade wars and economic damage from the onset of new tariffs. 

Gladly cooler heads prevailed with the market making new highs once again. All in all, the S&P 500 has enjoyed a 24.09% gain in the past year. 

That’s a pretty good outcome for investors given that the long term average for the market is closer to 8% annually. 

Gladly most investors focused on the Zen Ratings have done much better thanks to the +47.37% return for A rated stocks over that same period. 

This should be a surprise to no one given how every day the Zen Ratings system analyzes 115 different factors for each stock to find those most likely to outperform. 

Everything from growth to value to momentum to sentiment…even proprietary AI factors that detect the most timely stocks. 

Yes, we have beaten this idea into many of your heads which explains why we have twice as many people now in our Premium service which gives them access to the daily updated list of All “A” Rated Stocks > 

Today that screen shows 211 stocks. 

That is great news for those who enjoy the process to narrow down to the handful that end up in their portfolio. 

That is bad news for everyone else who finds that to be a time consuming headache. 

If you are in the latter camp…then there is an easier solution: Zen Strategies. 

In total we have created 11 different stock selection strategies. 

Each featuring the top 7 stocks. Each featuring market beating performance…even better than the average A rated stock. 

Why? 

Because the Zen Strategies portfolios narrow down to the 7 highest rated stocks which unlocks more outperformance. 

Here are the top performing strategies looking back the past 1 year: 

+123.96% Buy the Dip

+79.10% Stocks Under $10

+71.35% Momentum

+61.56% Small Caps

Please feel free to click on any of the links above to explore the complete performance details for these strategies going back more than 20 years. 

However, the list of the top 7 stocks for each is only shared with members of Zen Strategies. 

The best way to learn about the full benefits of the service is to join me this Monday @ 7pm ET for the next WallStreetZen LIVE presentation.
