Year to Date. One of the things I want Stock Picks to be built on is transparency, not just talk. So here’s where my own portfolio stands this year: +30.11% YTD This is the same account, the same process, and the same discipline I bring to every pick shared in this service — nothing separate or curated for show. It reflects real positions, held through real market swings, managed with the same 75%-gain trim rule I use across the board. I’ll share updates like this periodically going forward, so you can see the actual track record over time, not just individual calls in isolation. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, and no single number tells the whole story — but I’d rather show you the real one than none at all. — Al
