Hey there, fellow market warriors! It’s Friday, which means it’s time for our weekly roundup of the stocks that have been absolutely killing it in our portfolio. These five powerhouses have delivered the kind of returns that make you want to do a little victory dance at your desk (just me?).
The Heavy Hitters
1. BLK – $1,043.77 Our absolute champion! This beast has been on an absolute tear, and even with today’s solid +1.26% gain, it continues to prove why it earned the top spot in our portfolio. When you’re dealing with four-digit stock prices, every percentage point translates to serious money.
2. SHLD – $59.61 Don’t let today’s minor -1.21% dip fool you – this is our second-best performer overall, and we’re talking about a stock that has delivered massive gains over the past few months. Sometimes the best performers take a breather, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing here.
3. VEU – $67.24 International diversification for the win! Up +0.72% today and sitting pretty as our third-best performer. This one has been the steady Eddie of our portfolio – not flashy, but consistently delivering those sweet, sweet returns.
4. TGRW – $41.78 Growth stocks doing what they do best – growing! Today’s +0.78% bump is just the cherry on top of what has been an impressive run. This one has been a pleasant surprise in our lineup.
5. XLK – $252.24 Tech sector representation with a solid +0.47% gain today. The fact that this tech play has earned a spot in our top five speaks volumes about the sector’s resilience and our stock-picking prowess.
The Bottom Line
What I love about this lineup is the diversity. We’ve got large-cap stability, international exposure, growth plays, and sector-specific bets – all united by one thing: they’ve delivered the 10%+ returns that separate the wheat from the chaff in this market.
Sure, not every day is going to be green across the board (looking at you, SHLD), but that’s exactly why we focus on the bigger picture. These stocks have earned their spots through consistent performance over months, not days.
What’s Next?
Keep your eyes on these five as we head into next week. Market momentum can shift quickly, but these performers have shown they’ve got what it takes to weather the storms and come out ahead.
Remember: past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, but it sure feels good when you’re on the winning side!
Happy trading
