  "account": "In late 2009, David Gardner, the Chief Rule Breaker at Stock Advisor, recommended a selection of stocks that, looked at separately, seemed unimpressive. Adobe, chosen in August, underperformed the S&P 500 by around 280%. Dassault Systèmes, picked the following month, trailed the market by over 500%. Hasbro, selected in October, lagged by approximately 460%. The performance of these three stocks was notably poor. Sandwiched between Adobe, Dassault, and Hasbro were two other recommendations: Interactive Brokers in June and Nvidia in December. Interactive Brokers outperformed the market by an astounding 2,300 percentage points. Nvidia, with shares trading at $228.87 today, outpaced the S&P 500 by over 58,000 percentage points. When evaluating this group of five stocks, excluding Nvidia, the average performance relative to the S&P 500 from Adobe, Dassault, Hasbro, and Interactive Brokers amounted to roughly +270%. This figure seems solid, but it's primarily due to Interactive Brokers driving the performance of three underperformers. Adding Nvidia to the mix significantly boosted the average relative performance to over 11,800%.",
