re: FINAL RESULTS: 2019 Top 5 Stock Pick 'em Contest as of 12/31/19 on page 32.

Morningstar.com, which I'm using for the YTD performance, does include dividends in its total return percent.

Wish I had invested my portfolio the way I invested in this pick’em

Performance results updated through close of trading on Friday, February 15.

The number to the right of your YTD % was your ranking last Friday, February 8. The percentage number to the right of your previous ranking number was what your YTD performance percent was last week.

This week only 3 players saw their YTD performance decline from the previous week meaning 53 of our 56 players saw a percentage improvement from the previous update.

All players continue to have a positive YTD performance.

The biggest improvement in YTD % was by ynlvr who saw his percent improve +9.33% this week which moved him into second place overall.

The biggest decline in YTD % this week was by bayoubengals88 who saw a small decline of -0.71%.

You know it was a good week overall when the biggest decline in performance was less that three-fourths of a percent.

The biggest improvement in the rankings was by bossflossjr who saw his ranking improve from #36 to #19 or +17 places in the rankings.

The biggest drop in the rankings was by LSUcam7 who dropped -16 places from #26 to #42.

29.19% Is only good for 7th place, jeez!

I suspect before December 31 we will see significant changes in the rankings at the top.

You and me both, brother.

While my performance is not on par with yours so far I do own every pick I made.

I should just short the top 10 stocks in a couple months

One month or six weeks does not a year make. But damn, what a first six weeks!

I suspect NBR has room to run. Hoping for a double if oil keeps its head up. Unfortunately FDC was acquired so I’ll lose those gains by year-end. NVDA and TDC are speculative. I see CNC as is a stable pick.

The biggest drop in the rankings was by LSUcam7

Vols&Shaft loving ROKU today. Up about 96% YTD!

I can't believe I took NVDA as an alternate.
