How this is measured
A company joins this list the first session it ranks in the screen’s top ten, and it never leaves it. It is measured from the close of the next session: the screen publishes in the evening, after the close it was built from, so the next close is the first price anyone reading it could actually have had. The S&P 500 (SPY) is measured over exactly the same days.
Closing prices only, without dividends, for the companies and the S&P 500 alike. Every company counts once, whatever its size. A company that later drops down the ranking, or out of it altogether, keeps being priced. Nothing is taken off this page for doing badly, and nothing is added after the fact.
A few weeks is not a track record. The average here will mean more every month, so read it as a start rather than a result. Past results do not predict future ones, and nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Next: the Vance Index
From October the screen’s ten highest-ranked companies go into a paper portfolio: equal weight, rebalanced once a month at the next session’s close, with trading costs taken off, and compared every day with the S&P 500 and with the average company the screen ranks. The rules were fixed on 30 September 2026, before it held a single share. It will appear here once it has three months behind it, in early January 2027, whatever it shows.
