Chart of the Day 📈 9/22/25: "The Best of the Best" Stocks, 2025 Edition

Mike Larson | Editor-in-Chief

Each December, we reach out to dozens of our MoneyShow contributors to get their “Top Picks” for the coming year. Then we publish a massive report with all the details on those stocks and ETFs. But of the 78 recommendations submitted by 44 different experts for 2025 – TEN stocks stand out as “The Best of the Best.”

Take a look at the MoneyShow Chart of the Day and you’ll see why. It shows how they performed from the date the report was published, Jan. 6, 2025, through present day. Powerful stuff, right?

Data by YCharts

Two common threads emerge when you look at the leader board…

First, several of the biggest winners are in the commodities and precious metals space. Gold, silver, and other metals have performed phenomenally well this year — and shares of many companies that mine and produce them are doing even better.

Second, a handful of the top 10 picks are benefitting from policy actions by the Trump Administration. Washington doesn’t control Wall Street…but Washington policy can influence certain sectors and stocks.

I recently went back to each of the contributors who submitted the top 10 picks with a few simple questions. WHY is your pick performing so well? HOW have conditions changed (or not changed) since the start of the year? And WHAT do you expect to happen next?

I think you’ll find what they had to say VERY interesting. You can get all those details – and the names and tickers of the stocks that made the cut – in our brand-new MoneyShow report. It’s called The Best of the Best 2025...and you can download a FREE copy by clicking here. I recommend you get yours today!.

With Gold Hitting ANOTHER Record, What’s Next?

Gold is hitting ANOTHER record high in the futures market today. So…how far will this rally go? Could gold be headed to $4,000 soon — or even higher?

Two of our top experts weighed in on precious metals and Treasuries in a recent MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode. Check out what Mike McGlone, senior macro strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, and Nancy Davis, founder of Quadratic Capital Management, had to say.

FEATURED PICKS FROM MONEYSHOW EXPERTS

SPX: After New Highs, Here's What to Do with Options
👉️ TICKER: SPX
The Federal Reserve lowered rates by a quarter of a percent last Wednesday, and the market liked it. Many people had been expecting a “sell on the news” after that, but instead the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) plowed ahead to new all-time highs in a strong fashion. The SPX chart remains very bullish, notes Lawrence McMillan, editor at Option Strategist.

Stocks, Metals, and the Dollar: Where the Primary Trends Stand
👉️ TICKERS: GLD, SLV, UDN, SPX
The stock market is hitting new record highs. The market thrives on low interest rates, and it’s set to rise further for the time being. Meanwhile, resource shares and metals are generally holding firm – and the dollar will likely head much lower as the downtrend intensifies, advise Mary Anne and Pamela Aden, editors of The Aden Forecast.
