Investing.com -- Despite Jerome Powell playing the Grinch last year, prompting investors to cut back on some of the gains in the late part of December, the S&P 500 closed the memorable 2024 with a hefty 23.31% gain.
It was the first time since 1998 that the market posted back-to-back 20%+ gains. Back then, it had four consecutive 20%+ years - though we all know what happened later, in 2000.
Whether history repeats itself or not in 2025, two things are certain:
- You should have made serious money over the last two years.
- Regardless of whether the market goes higher or lower in the year ahead, positioning in stocks with a high intrinsic value remains the key to success.
While you can't fix point #1, now is the perfect time to take a deep look at your portfolio to assess whether you can be confident about the stocks you are holding into the new year.
That's where investing.com's flagship AI-powered stock-picker comes into play.

Now, back to point #1: Last January - which happened to be its first year of live action - ProPicks AI picked three stocks that went on to gain more than 90% in the year ahead! To wit:
- NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) (held by ProPicks for the entire year): +171.17%
- Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) (removed from the list in July): +185.8%
- MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR) (removed from the list in May): +94.5%
Not to mention several other 50%+ winners...
As a matter of fact, our composed Tech Titans strategy amassed a massive 42.80% gain in the year - that is a 19.49% outperformance over the S&P 500!
But how do we do it? Is it some sort of 'AI magic?'
Of course not.
ProPicks AI works because it offers a straightforward, industry-recognized approach to fundamental analysis by using extensive sets of big data modeling and the history of the stock market in data.
By comparing the financial and stock performance of all stocks in the market at a glance, it manages to surface several hidden gems with investment-grade precision, thus improving returns and helping lower risks.
That's how, unlike other models, our AI identifies undervalued names before they become too expensive.
Since our official launch, in November 2023, Tech Titans yielded a mind-blowing 91.37% return - a 49% outperformance against the benchmark!
This is not a backtest. This is real-world, live performance unfolded right in front of everyone's eyes.
Will you risk another year or start outperforming now?
