BlackBoxStocks is in the business of developing and marketing web and mobile based analytical software tools as a subscription based software as a service (the Blackbox System) that serves as tool for stock and option traders to evaluate prospective investments on various securities exchanges and markets. Co.'s proprietary Blackbox System technology is an algorithm driven system that works in real time, measuring market trends and data while utilizing a multitude of specific criteria, both live and historical. The Blackbox System was initially designed to monitor and analyze stocks on the OTC Markets Group, Inc., New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the NYSE American and NASDAQ markets. The BLBX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the BLBX YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether BLBX YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the BLBX YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
