January 11, 2021

As many of you know, every December I publish a list of stocks that I believe will outperform the market over the next year. I don't have a crystal ball, but I have many years of experience  as a professional trader and portfolio manager. I think my track record speaks for itself.

The Zen Ten 2021

The Zen Ten gained 2.7% in the first week of January, besting the S&P's gain of 1.8%. The big winners were TGT, LAD, and the long-suffering VIAC.

I'm gratified that the Zen Ten is off to a good start this year, but we can't assume that this outperformance will continue. We can assume that these are good stocks with good potential.

Stay tuned for further updates as the year unfolds. I won't publish updates every week, but I will let you know when something meaningful happens in the market, or in these ten stocks.
