Now is a good time to review the Zen Ratings performance year to date.
That’s because too much of our performance display is about the all time average return of +28.50% a year for A rated stocks which goes back to 2006.
That’s nice to know, but kind of falls short of proving that it is still an effective tool for outperforming the market NOW.
Gladly there is plenty of good news to share on that front with this year to date results:
+24.94% A rated
+12.80% S&P 500
-7.59% F rated
This is exactly what we want to see. That A rated stocks are helping investors find stocks that run well ahead of the pack.
Just as important is pointing out the stocks to avoid in F rated shares. And yes D rated stocks fell well short of the mark as well.
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.
Indeed a lot of the reason for the continued success is our ongoing updates of the AI Factor in the model.
Yes, we have beaten this idea into many of your heads which explains why we have more than two times 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 203 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 even more outperformance.
Here are the top performing strategies looking back to the start of the year:
+92.77% Buy the Dip
+65.04% Momentum
+59.96% Stocks Under $10
+49.60% Technology
