Hey, I still got lots of Confederate Fiat Currency. Some pretty rare from the NO Mint...I also have some Confederate bonds I will let go for bargain prices...at par. LOL
I bet Bernanke will buy them! Eureka!
Why do I have the desire to associate you with Gary Busey on Black Sheep?

I think you're letting Rivers off the hook by allowing him to pick 5. Make him pick gold alone since that's what he's constantly pumping on here.

TOTAL DOLLAR GAINS/LOSSES IN ALL FIVE PICKS. Thats the game or there is no game. NO 20% WEIGHTING.
What is unfair about that?
I'll answer your question:
Using the prices you posted, your picks' starting base price = $2,992.28
HiddenFlask's starting base price = $124.94
So, Flask's picks could increase 2,000% and still not be at your STARTING amount!
Another way to look at it is, his picks could double in price ($124.94 X 100% = +$124.94) and even if your picks increase only 10% (10% X $2,992.28 = +$299.23), the increase in dollar amount of your picks would be more. In this example, any half-way intelligent person would agree Flask's picks outperformed your picks, but using your method you would say you won the contest.
Are you beginning to see the fallacy with using the dollar price changes to determine the winner?

But you don't have gold... a clown standing on the platform after the train has pulled out...how sad for you...how happy I am to see a banker getting his comeuppance...SQUIRM, WIGGLE, BUT YOU'RE STILL ON THE HOOK AND YOU STILL MISSED THE TRAIN. Of course, you could buy in now in time for the retrace.LOL
GOLD HAS KICKED THE CRAP OUT OF STOCKS FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS! GOLD IS NOW KICKING THE CRAP OUT OF STOCK, REAL ESTATE AND DOLLARS! PRINT BEN PRINT! LOL
