The 2025 Final Scorecard: Who Actually Beat the Market?

As the trading year closes, we have finalized the data. We tracked 7,000+ predictions across 61 channels. Only a handful of creators survived the "True Alpha" test.

🚨 Year-End Stats

7,142
Total Calls Logged

From January 1st to today, this is the total volume of buy/sell signals we have digitized. The largest retail sentiment dataset in existence.

37.4%
Industry Average Win Rate

The average "Guru" accuracy for 2025. This number is damning. It means flipping a coin (50%) was statistically superior to following the average YouTuber this year.

🏆 The 2025 Champion

Stealth Wealth Investing

MOST CONSISTENT ALPHA
Total Alpha
+20.3%
Win Rate
70.4%
Best Call
PLTR

The Verdict: In a sea of noise, Stealth Wealth delivered boring, consistent value. While others chased meme stocks, this channel maintained a 70% win rate over 54 predictions. If you followed every trade they announced in 2025, you beat the S&P 500 by a wide margin.

📉 The "Guru Gap" (Worst Performer)

Patrick Boyle

Win Rate
17.2%
Alpha vs SPY
-37.4%

The data doesn't lie. Despite being a respected voice in finance, Patrick's specific trade calls (Sample Size: 29) performed terribly in 2025. A -37% Alpha means you would have been significantly richer just holding cash. The drag? A bearish stance on NVDA and AMD during the biggest AI bull run in history.

Crypto vs. Stocks: The Great Divergence

One of the most requested features was a breakdown between Asset Classes. We analyzed the specialists, and the results are shocking.

Creators who specialize in Crypto (like AlexOCrypto) saw massive volatility but ended the year with -23% Alpha. It appears that in 2025, the "HODL" strategy worked, but the trading strategy failed. Generalists who tried to call everything from Bitcoin to Oil (like Meet Kevin, -16% Alpha) mostly failed to capture the upside of either asset class.

The 2026 Outlook: Everyone Loves Palantir

We are currently tracking a massive convergence. The most recommended stock for 2026 is PLTR (Palantir), appearing as a "Top Pick" for Tom Nash, Stealth Wealth, and YT Finance.

History shows that when the "YouTube Consensus" leans this heavily into one name, risk increases. If your 2026 portfolio is just PLTR, TSLA, and NVDA, you aren't investing—you're momentum chasing with the herd.

Start 2026 with clean data.

Stop guessing. Check the scoreboard before you trade.
