Pick of The Year (PoTY) 2016

[jiesen]

yes, anyone beating the S&P by a factor of 20 deserves has earned the right to be considered a market genius. I, unfortunately, have failed to beat the S&P with my pick.

Which is why I consider it a smart move, if not actual genius, to follow $$MM and take his picking strategy over my own for most of my trades.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new leader.

Interesting, I'm listening to the Squawk Box crew discuss why hedge funds are not beating the market yet managers collect $$$ in fees. Here on Mr. Market my pick has gained just over 30% in 5 months and I'm just above the middle. Which is what usually happens here.

What a wild ride in the market the past several days. Almost everyone in the green.
Happy Independence Day. Be safe.

I may have to Buy the entire John Henry Mutual Fund when the POTY 2017 comes out. Sorry I'm bringing down the group.

[blindsquirrel]

Pretty impressive picks for you guys this year. Good work!

[JohnHenry]

Sorry I'm bringing down the group.

Not a big deal. Forget about it. Anything can happen from now until the end of the year.

NUGT: 5/1 Stock Split August 25, 2016

John Henry,

I would be interesting to see the overall results if a person would have purchased (or shorted) $1000 of each stock. I may do this if, and when, I can find time to hand enter the data. I imagine the group as a whole would have quite a double digit gain so far for the year.

Thanks for your work on this thread.

I came up with this result. Assuming $1000 into each stock starting from the top of the above list, present values of each position are now are now $3364, 2634, 2062, 1722, 1697, 1501, 1333, 1307, 1188, 1144, 1132, 1087, 876, 727, 494 for a total of $22268.

There are 15 stocks so initial investment was $15000. This give a 48% gain.

We are having a very good year so far. And by 'we' I mean you all... I'd rather not talk about my pick :P

48% is a pretty good number - Nice job Louetta. I am wondering now about similar results from:

I am wondering who were the top 5 overall in 2013-2016. I think River and billyjoe stood out.

I am wondering what the average return for the group was for 2013-2016.

[billyjoe]

Mimo, I really don't have that good of a record. Riverbabe, of course, is a powerhouse.

Just lucky! This year not so far. Imagine betting that another E. coli or Norovirus will put CMG under! Probably will sometime but a crazy long shot for this year. Saw a reputable article that SHLD is definitely on the shoals. Shouldn't be long now! Billy, you are a SUPER-STAR!!!! In fact, WE ALL TOGETHER have a truly remarkable record!
