The rule

Written down on 1 October 2026, before any pick existed. Every eligible pick is counted; none is removed for how it turned out. The rule in full

Which picks count
Every dossier thesis staked at medium, high or supreme conviction.
When a pick opens
A pick opens at the close of the first trading day on which a published dossier states its thesis at medium, high or supreme conviction, from 1 October 2026, as long as that close is still above the thesis's own kill line. A stock has at most one open pick at a time. The conviction, the kill line and the thesis are frozen at that close.
When it closes
A pick closes at the first of: a close through the kill line frozen at open (daily or weekly, as the thesis states; a weekly close is the last trading day of the week); conviction cut below medium; or the 63rd trading day after it opened. Once a pick has closed, the next time the research states a fresh medium-or-higher thesis on that stock, a new pick opens.
How it is graded
A closed pick beat the market if its total return, dividends included, was higher than the S&P 500's (SPY) over exactly the same days; otherwise it trailed. Every eligible pick is in the record.

The 20 open picks closest to their kill line

Every open pick is above its kill line on the last close. Showing 20 of 126, closest to the line first.

How to read this

The red mark is the kill line, frozen the day the pick opened: the price that would prove the thesis wrong. The dot is the last close. A dot left of the mark has closed below the line.

Distance is drawn on a square-root scale, so close calls get the room. Past 8% a row reads well clear. The line under each name is the pick's return since it opened, next to the S&P 500's over the same days. How a pick is graded

Common questions

Which picks are on the scoreboard?
Every dossier thesis staked at medium, high or supreme conviction from 1 October 2026 on. Low-conviction research is coverage, not a pick. Nothing is left out because of how it turned out.
When does a pick close?
At the first of three events: a close through the kill line frozen when the pick opened, a conviction cut below medium, or the 63rd trading session after it opened.
What counts as beating the market?
A closed pick beat the market if its total return, dividends included, exceeded the S&P 500's (SPY) over exactly the same days. Otherwise it trailed.
Can a pick be changed after it opens?
No. Its conviction, kill line and thesis are frozen at the opening close. If the research later changes its mind, that becomes a new pick once the old one has closed.
