re: Let's do a top 5 equity portfolio for 2018

(no message)

I'll write you tomorrow when I'm at my PC.

Good catch, Moots. I didn't see those AMZN differences. I'll check them out tomorrow. Thanks.

Moots, I think I've fixed my spreadsheet. The error involved a lot more than just AMZN.

If you look at the results I posted above that you were questioning you'll notice that the % performance for every poster's far right hand side pick is the same as their % overall result.

Somehow I had the overall % cell copied into the last stock pick for everyone.

Don't ask me how I did that. It takes a special talent to screw up 100% of the numbers.

I think the numbers below are correct. Look them over and let me know if you see more errors. If so, I may retire from posting the numbers.
