55% OFF: The AI that more than doubled the market’s return - Now under $8 a month

The headlines are not wrong. The Federal Reserve raised its target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00% in September, its first increase since 2023, with inflation still running above target. Futures put roughly 80% odds on another move in December, according to Reuters. A tightening central bank is a serious thing.

The mistake is in what most investors do about it, which is to think at the level of the index.

Consider what the index actually did last month. The S&P 500 fell 0.56% in October - a number that reads like a market holding its breath. Underneath it, the S&P 500 Energy index rose 10.71% and the S&P 500 Health Care index 7.80%, while the Nasdaq 100 fell 5.06% and the Nasdaq Composite 3.41%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 2.53%. Nearly 16 percentage points separated the strongest sector from the weakest major gauge inside four trading weeks.

That flat index return was not calm. It was two large, opposite moves cancelling each other out.

There is a mechanical reason for it. Rising policy rates discount distant cash flows more heavily than near ones, which pressures long-duration growth and favours companies that generate cash now or reprice with inflation. The rotation is not a mood. It is arithmetic, and while policy is tightening it is unlikely to reverse.

Which changes the question worth asking this week. Not whether the market goes up - at this level of dispersion that question barely has an answer - but which parts, and what has been marked down for reasons that do not apply to it.

That is the work ProPicks AI was built to do, and this week access is under $8 a month, a discount of up to 55%.

The record

Tech Titans has returned 186.13% since it went live in October 2023, against 79.98% for the S&P 500 over the same period - more than double the index’s return. Mid-Cap Movers has returned 113.54% since launch and 45.86% in 2026, running 36.46 percentage points ahead of the S&P Midcap 400, the widest margin in the U.S. lineup. Energy Elite is up 78.63% this year, 28.71 points ahead of its sector index. Small-Cap Sprinters is up 34.13% in 2026, 23.13 points ahead. Dominate the Dow leads the Dow by 12.06 points; Healthcare Heroes leads the S&P 500 Health Care index by 7.35.

The picks are published in advance each month and rebalanced on a fixed schedule. The series is a live record, not a simulation.

What it bought while the headlines were loud

On Oct. 1 the model bought Kohl’s at $18.46; the stock closed Friday at $24.58, up 29.92% on the month. It took Robert Half the same day at $36.75, now $45.87. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store was bought in July at $54.83 and closed Friday at $67.66. Ardent Health, a small-cap hospital operator, was bought last December at $8.79 and now trades at $12.27.

A department store, a staffing firm, a restaurant chain and a regional hospital group - none of them part of any argument about the Fed or about artificial intelligence, all of them cheap for reasons that had stopped applying.

Held longer, the open book looks like this: Everforth, bought at $17.56 and last at $43.59, up 148.23%; Delek US Holdings at $37.51, now $74.41; Consensus Cloud Solutions at $21.36, now $37.47; HF Sinclair at $70.37, now $121.66; Amgen at $268.46, now $439.26.

Among positions already exited: NVIDIA at 226.74% while held, Peabody Energy at 216.49%, American Express at 214.22%, Sandisk at 189.09% and Super Micro Computer at 185.77%.

The current list, and the reasoning behind each selection, is here.

The week in front of it

Wednesday’s decision is largely settled. CME FedWatch data cited by TradingKey put the probability of no change at roughly 90.6% as of Oct. 22, and there is no dot plot this time. What matters is Chair Kevin Warsh at 2:30 p.m.

“I’ll be watching the press conference for hints about the rate path,” Walter Todd, chief investment officer at Greenwood Capital, told Reuters.

Thursday brings the first estimate of third-quarter GDP and the September core PCE deflator, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, alongside jobless claims. The European Central Bank is expected to hold at 2.50% the same day. The Bank of Canada and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand are both expected to raise by 25 basis points on Wednesday; the Bank of Japan is expected to hold at 1.25% on Friday. Mary Daly and Alberto Musalem speak Friday.

Beneath the central banks, the earnings: Alphabet and Microsoft on Wednesday evening, Amazon on Thursday, with roughly $800 billion of annual hyperscaler capital spending judged inside about 24 hours. Third-quarter S&P 500 earnings are tracking growth above 32% from a year earlier after more than 100 companies have reported, per LSEG IBES data cited by Reuters.

“The market needs just another round of really strong earnings,” King Lip, chief strategist at BakerAvenue Wealth Management, told Reuters.

Whichever way that lands, the spread between the market’s best and worst corners is the more durable fact - and it is the one that rewards choosing over averaging.
