How are Common Sense Daily's stock picks performing after 3 months?
Common Sense Daily's eleven picks from July 2026 have returned an average of 5.5% over the past three months, outpacing the S&P 500's 2.9% gain by 2.6 percentage points. Seven of the eleven selections are beating the market at this checkpoint.
LITE is the standout, up 38.5% since the picks were published. That single position accounts for much of the portfolio's outperformance, though the majority of the other picks are also in positive territory.
The picks were tied to an article titled "New all time highs are in sight for U.S. equities," published in mid-July. At the three-month mark, the portfolio is delivering on its bullish premise, with nearly two-thirds of the picks ahead of the broader index.

How are Common Sense Daily's July stock picks performing so far?
Three days after Common Sense Daily published its latest batch of picks, all 11 stocks are holding at exactly 0.0%, matching the S&P 500's flat performance over the same window.
None of the picks have moved ahead of the benchmark yet. Ciena (CIEN) sits at the top of the list, though it too shows no gain or loss.
This is an extremely early snapshot — just 72 hours in. Markets often take time to react, and short-term noise rarely reflects long-term trends. The real test will come as weeks unfold and earnings, sector shifts, or broader economic news begin to weigh on these positions.
