At the end of 2025, there was a thread here in which people picked their stocks to watch for 2026.
10 stocks were picked based on how many times they were mentioned in that thread.
This is how they have performed year to date:
**1 ASTS: 59.8%**

**7 MU: 18.2%**
**8 IREN: 46.3%**

So, that's a total, average return of **18%**, compared to SPY's YTD return of **0.76%**
Last year, the average return of the top 10 picks were **76%**, compared to SPY's return of **16%**
