Case Studies are weekly write-ups that look back at how past Top Ideas performed after they were featured. Each piece is a retrospective: narrative context plus realized outcomes, so you can study Scouter’s research track record over time.
Why they exist
Live Top Ideas rows are blurred unless you are on Premium. Case Studies give everyone — including Free and Starter users — a transparent way to review historical results without treating any single past idea as a live trade instruction.
The Case Studies index also shows a modeled Top Ideas vs SPY chart (equal-weight Top 10, weekly rebalance, whole shares, simulated slippage). Holdings are never listed there — it measures process quality as a research illustration, separate from the weekly narratives below.
On the Top Ideas page, if you are not on Premium, you will see the vs SPY track-record module plus a link to Case Studies. You can also open Case Studies from the site footer or go directly to /case-studies.
How to read them
- Open Case Studies.
- Browse weeks chronologically.
- Read the story of what was featured and what happened afterward.
- Use that history as diligence on process and outcomes — not as a signal to buy or sell today.
Case Studies do not replace the live Top Ideas table, and they are not personalized advice. Pair them with the live Expected Moves week grid (or the Expected Moves help guide) when you want current catalyst analysis for a ticker that appears in a retrospective.
