Portfolio of the Week

[IIC]

Mr. Rob...Start me in cash...thx...IIC

[Karel]

I've ranked the POTW players by compounded return divided by number of weeks played (that's the "special K" factor). ...

Thank you, Jiesen! That is an awful drop I made, from the Top10 to place 20, but that is life for a mechanical investor. Pete, wonderful job! The new TOP10 consists of: Pete H., DMK, Jim S., Photon, Lye, Micky, Spike, IIC, Gator, Jiesen, and Sowers.

Away dropped Gary, and Karel; new are Jiesen and Sowers. OK, folks, you are the team for the POTW+, which isn't making much of an impression right now. You are the top 10. Show it!

And I haven't joined the chorus yet to applaud Rob, the glorious winner of this "gut wrenching" week, and Lye too, with his 9+%. I think all players who scored positive deserve an accolade, and I would like to include Geri, who remained in cash and came 10th.

I discovered a small error in my scorekeeping: I only used 9 players in the calculation for the POTW+ over the last two weeks. With Gator added, the one I didn't take down, the percentages change a bit, but the points remain the same.

Regards,

Karel

Jiesen don't I even get ranked never missed one week?

Sorry to say, RL, but I drew the arbitrary cutoff at 20, and you were number 21. Though your POTW score average was actually 0.0015% better than Karel's, your compounded return was -9.76%, which puts you just under Karel's -7.96%, when ranked by return/week since you both played each of the 13 weeks.

Don't worry, though, once your -25% hit from week 7 drops off for the next K-factor calculation, you'll be golden. Let's just not see a repeat of that performance next week, mmmk?

Pete is HUUUUGE!!!!

Yes, I must concur. Pete is indeed

HUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!

[Rob]

Nowhere Man

Sorry to say, RL, but I drew the arbitrary cutoff at 20, and you were number 21.

I'm just glad to see my name on the list for a change. I jumped from Nowheresville to no. 13, and I ain't superstitious.
