Last week’s Stock of the Week pick was Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), a leading cryptocurrency investment vehicle. The stock was purchased at the open on Monday, December 30th, and sold at Friday’s close on January 3rd for a gain of 5.9%. This trade highlighted a favorable market move, yielding a solid return of $4.33 per share. While short-term gains are not always guaranteed, this trade underscores the effectiveness of the Top Stock of the Week Strategy in capturing timely opportunities. With the strategy continuing to demonstrate resilience, it remains on track for long-term success.
As 2024 came to a close, it’s time to reflect on the incredible success of our Top Pick of the Week (TPOW) strategy, launched in October. The results speak for themselves, showcasing the power of disciplined trading and sticking to a proven system.
TPOW Strategy: Performance at a Glance
In just 13 weeks, we’ve seen remarkable growth in our TPOW strategy. Starting with an initial investment of $10,000, our portfolio grew to $15,009, representing a 50% return in less than 3 months!
The Numbers Don’t Lie:
- TPOW Growth: 50.09%
- S&P 500 (Buy & Hold): 4.5% for the same period
The TPOW strategy outperformed the broader market by more than 10x, proving that a targeted, rules-based approach to stock selection can deliver exceptional results.
Why TPOW Works
The TPOW strategy focuses on identifying and trading one high-probability stock each week based on our proprietary Above the Green Line rules:
- SCTR Rating Above 90: Only stocks with the strongest relative strength qualify.
- Breaking Out of the Green Zone: Entry is timed precisely as momentum confirms.
- High Volume: Ensuring institutional support is behind the move.
This strategy ensures we’re always trading the best of the best while managing risk effectively.
Key Highlights from the TPOW Journey
- Weekly Wins: Out of the 13 weeks, 10 trades hit their target gain of 15% before Friday’s market close.
- Risk Management: On the 3 trades that didn’t hit the 15% target, we exited with minimal losses, thanks to strict stop-loss rules.
- Focused Simplicity: By trading only one stock per week, TPOW allows us to stay disciplined without overcomplicating our approach.
Comparison with Buy-and-Hold (S&P 500)
While the S&P 500 managed a respectable 4.5% gain over the same 13-week period, it pales in comparison to the agility and precision of TPOW.
- Buy-and-Hold: Offers long-term growth but lacks flexibility during volatile or range-bound markets.
- TPOW: Thrives on identifying short-term momentum plays while avoiding stagnant or underperforming stocks.
By focusing on stocks Above the Green Line, we’re always investing in opportunities with the highest probability of success.
Looking Ahead: 2025 Goals for TPOW
As we gear up for 2025, the goal is to build on this momentum:
- Consistency: Continue refining and executing the TPOW strategy for steady weekly gains.
- Transparency: Share more detailed trade reviews and insights with our growing community.
- Community Growth: Help more traders adopt the TPOW system and achieve their financial goals.
We want to thank our members and followers for trusting the process and staying disciplined. This year’s TPOW results prove that success in the market is achievable when you follow a system that works.
Here’s to a profitable and prosperous 2025!
