Measured at Friday closes: a start date uses the last close on or before it (Dec 31, 2025, i.e. invested Jan 1). Benchmarks are buy-and-hold from the same close. Fees, taxes and dividends aren't included. Weeks before May 15, 2026 were rebuilt from our research notes before we started recording each week live. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, and nothing here is personal investment advice.
