I Used Alpha Picks for a Year. Here's What I Found

In this monthly update on Alpha Picks, Matt Derron reviews the performance of four different investment strategies he's experimenting with throughout 2025. The strategies include mimicking the full Alpha Picks portfolio, adding and holding strong buy-rated stocks, adding every new stock released, and adding stocks that meet his personal criteria. Derron details the holdings, buys, and sells for each strategy, comparing their year-to-date and monthly performance against the S&P 500. He notes that all four strategies are currently outperforming the S&P 500, with the full Alpha Picks portfolio showing the strongest returns. Derron also highlights Alpha Picks' Black Friday sale and encourages viewers to use his affiliate link if interested. He concludes by expressing interest in continuing the series into 2026 and asks for viewer feedback.
