2025 Report Card Part III: Evaluation of Progress

Part III of our 2025 Report Card delves into profiting from trading strategies that may seem like mumbo jumbo to some. Our annual Report Card is a critical aspect of our work at Stansberry Research, where we take a close look at the performance of our trading services and assign them letter grades.

One notable figure in our lineup is Greg Diamond, the Editor of Ten Stock Trader. When I first met Greg at Stansberry Research’s annual Spring Editor’s Conference in 2017, I was skeptical of his trading methods. Greg’s approach seemed to revolve around cycles, technical analysis, and what I considered to be market “voodoo.” As an investor focused on financial statements and management assessments, I didn’t understand Greg’s methods and dismissed them as astrology rather than sound analysis.

However, my doubts were proven wrong as I delved into the performance of our trading services, particularly Greg’s Ten Stock Trader. Despite not fully grasping all of Greg’s methods, the results speak for themselves. Greg’s approach works, as evidenced by the high number of successful trades he made in the past year.

Our Report Card series is designed to provide a transparent view of our services’ wins and losses, allowing our readers to assess how well our research serves them. Part III focuses on our more advanced newsletters geared towards seasoned investors looking for niche industry-focused services. These advanced newsletters cater to individuals seeking a deep dive into specific industries or trading strategies.

Our trading services have an average holding period of less than a year, with a focus on short-term gains. Using a unique scoring system, we evaluate each service’s performance based on various criteria such as average gain, annualized performance, and win percentages. Despite market volatility and rapid trading trends, we pivot to assess the services based on a shorter time frame to reflect current market conditions accurately.

One standout performer is Ten Stock Trader, which scored an impressive A+ for its exceptional performance in the past year. Greg’s trading style, rooted in technical analysis and cycles, has yielded substantial gains for his subscribers. Utilizing call options and short holding periods, Greg’s trading strategy outperformed the market significantly in 2025.

Greg’s intuitive approach to trading sets him apart from others in the field. With over two decades of experience closely monitoring market movements, Greg’s keen understanding of market dynamics allows him to make accurate predictions and capitalize on emerging trends. His ability to foresee market shifts, such as the surge in gold prices, exemplifies his expertise in navigating volatile market conditions.

In conclusion, Ten Stock Trader offers subscribers the opportunity to benefit from Greg’s extensive market knowledge and rapid-gain trading style. Greg’s track record proves that he doesn’t rely on bull markets to generate profits; instead, he thrives in volatile market conditions. As we look ahead to 2026, Greg’s intuitive approach to trading positions Ten Stock Trader as a top performer in our lineup of trading services.
