At the first model run of each month, these were the 10 S&P 500 stocks Torvanta's model ranked highest. Every one is shown - none removed, including companies since acquired, delisted or dropped from the index - and only months at least 30 days old, so nothing here is the model's current view.
Returns from that day's close to 2026-10-19; S&P 500 (SPY) +0.7%.

These are the model's published rankings, not trades in an account: returns are price changes with dividends reinvested, before trading costs and taxes, and the model portfolio holds different weights and trades on its own rules. A short record says little; past results do not predict future results.
