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

Great job so far

1 week down, only 51 weeks to go.....

quote:

---

As of the last update there was only one portfolio in the negative.

---

As I posted in another thread this afternoon, although I updated my spreadsheet this morning there wasn't much change since yesterday's update so I didn't post an update today.

One slight change as of close of trading yesterday is now none of us is in the red YTD. The last place player is +.83% today. You moved up one spot from 23 to 22 and improved YTD from 7.04% to 7.95%.

I realize that last year is last year but I just went back and analyzed how players did last year at this time in January versus where they finished the year in the standings.

No player who was in the bottom third of the rankings as of January 11, 2018 finished the year in the top 10.

Rankings updated through close of trading on 1/11/2019.

I've added a column on my spreadsheet which shows up just to the right of each poster's average YTD return next to your name.

That is what you were ranked on the previous update.

I updated the spreadsheet yesterday but I didn't post the update yesterday, so don't confuse the last posted update with the number next to your average % today. The last posted update was from close of trading on Wednesday. The previous ranking number shown today is from close of trading Thursday which I didn't post yesterday. Confused yet???

I underlined the new number (just this once) so that you can see what I'm referring to.

I hope you like this added information. If you don't like it let me know and I'll delete the new column in future updates. Thanks.

Thanks for doing this

If the stakes were higher and you were trying to win, contrarian bet is probably your best bet whether you believe it going higher or not. Obviously few would just take it out of the market at this point for no reason.

OG could lock in a 23% annual return today. There are not many years you can get that.

I wonder how many years 23% would have won the contest?

I still like your STZ pick

Whoop! Whoop! Made it to the top 3!

You're doing even better today!

Updated through close of trading Monday, January 14.

Reminder, the number to the right of your average YTD percent is what your ranking was in the most recent previous update. In this case, the previous update was as of close of trading on Friday, January 11.
