Well… I’m tempted to limit this report to “Hey just look at the spreadsheet", and then hide under the covers until there is a report with at least a little fun in it.
So far, the contestants generally have had a lousy second quarter. And we are only three weeks in. This week was a “play no favorites” downer.
Indices? Down.
The contest selected stocks? The best performer, ONVO, boasted a ho-hum return for the week of 8.1%. Only seventeen contestant selections, out of 120 stocks, stayed out of the red for the week. And on the losers side? Three of the worst five for the week were drawn form our top five YTD performers. The whole thing has the feel of “Well gang, I think I’ll cash in these chips while I still can.” Not a “crash”, but one hell of a broadly based correction.
The week shaved another -$12k off the average portfolio, finally pushing it into the red for the YTD, -$5.2k. We were in the black almost all of the first quarter, sometimes substantially. EVERY portfolio lost money this week, with NOTABOT claiming the brass ring by only losing =$2.7k. The worst of the worst was BLADERUNNER, setting fire to -$36k of their paper profits. But, you know what? They are still top place YTD, though the gap with BULBAMAN has narrowed again with only -$11.8k separating them.
Otherwise the YTD rankings are really not worth commenting on, except to welcome JACK HArMANN back to the best YTD performer list, clawing their way up to eighth place.
Now, where are those covers …
