The S&P's 5 out of 500 - Oct. 6-19, 2025

All of this is like a whole Monkey's Paw thing. After weeks of complaining about my lack of viewership, I got like, four new followers. Unfortunately, they're family friends. Not that I'm ungrateful or anything, it's just kind of embarrassing haha. So, I had to go MIA for a little bit. School stress compounding and stuff.

Here are the top five leading stocks for this week.

Switching over to Medium

I'm going to be switching over to Medium soon! I got to this website after searching up "blog website easy" and got to Blogger like, 15 years later after this site was popular. So, I'm going to be moving to a site that's more active. I'll be posting things here first still because I'm used to the posting format, but I still implore whoever is reading this to follow me over to Medium. You can find me at https://medium.com/@sreshtakaranam. I'm starting to post my things from October of 2024 to now, so it'll be a slow movement over. But, I'm hoping that I'll find some new readers who aren't bots, family friends, or my dad!

Xoxo,
