Imagine a tech stock pick that beat the S&P 500 by 8 points in one year. In the same year, the tech sector ETF also beat the S&P 500 by 8 points. The speaker did not pick a good stock. The speaker picked a good sector.
finfluencers.trade measures these two things separately. Sector Alpha = Stock Picking Alpha + Sector Picking Alpha. You can see the split on Sector Leaderboards for finfluencers and shows, and on every profile.
Rankings tell you the score. They don’t show the race.
finfluencers.trade now has cumulative return curves, Compare for head-to-heads, and a full Shows leaderboard — so you can see who pulled ahead, who faded, and which programs are worth your listening hours.
Until now, finfluencers.trade gave you a finfluencer leaderboard and fairly basic per-person stats — enough to browse names, not enough to decide where your listening time should go.
This release is a major update. You can now rank entire shows and podcasts the same way you rank individual hosts, open a full profile for each show, compare panelists on rotating desks, and dig into finfluencer pages with the same holding-period tools throughout. The goal is simple: help you spend finite listening hours on sources that have actually delivered alpha vs the S&P 500 — whether that is one program or several.
When I first launched the Finfluencers Directory, it was just a simple list. I've just rolled out the first major upgrade to make it much better and more user-friendly tool.
Now, you can filter, search, and quickly navigate the 30+ sources to find exactly what you're looking for.
