Value Microcaps Pick Six Lotto 11

[lentinman]

TOP 40: PSL1-11: ADJUSTED RETURN:

Must have participated in at least 6 of the 11 PSL contests to qualify (80 QUALIFIERS).

This replaces Average Return and Average Rank. This was Gilead's idea - that being to show the average differential between a person's return and the average return for each contest. Therefore, KIK has averaged 21% better than the average PSL return for each contest he's been in - which in his case, is all eleven.

Thank you KIK. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

PSL12 Board:

Has been created.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15375

I apologize for not getting some of the post contest stats done. I will do them soon - including the average rankings and ratings for the previous 11 contests.

A special appreciation to KIK and SSK for their contributions. Of course, R59 is the THE MAN nowadays. I always knew it, but after winning two of the last three PSL contests (the first two-time winner), he is in a very special category.

Len

[Knowledge is King]

Congratulations to cl001 for winning my...


$200 Get eTF Outta Here! Contest. He managed a second place finish without the use of any ETFs and he also took the nsomniyak challenge. Researcher59 also did not use ETFs, but in a tragic miscalculation, neglected to take the nsomniyak challenge.

So cl, post or PM me your favorite charity and I'll cut them a check for $200. Congratulations again and nice job negotiating an ETF-free contest!


Thanks again to len, SSK, and all the contestants for another fascinating competition. Good luck in PSL12.

VMC PSL 12 Info.

May 22nd Deadline; May 25th VMC PSL 12 Starts

Because of where the 15th lands I'm not placing it that week it will be the week of the 22nd (deadline) with it starting on the 25th. It will run 14 weeks to August 28th. Hope This Helps.

[beigledog]

When is the deadline for PSL12?

[Knowledge is King]

Nice job researcher! Many of us pay particular attention to your PSL picks and posts on VMC. By chalking up your second win I'm sure you'll garner a fresh set of boardmarks.

[nsomniyak]

Congrats! You put up a pretty gaudy number!

[researcher59]

Thanks for all the congratulatory remarks ! I really appreciate it.

Cl001 deserves special honorary mention for nearly overtaking me in the final days .... he ran out of time but probably would have won if the contest had continued for another day or two.

Reply To 'researcher59' on 'VMC Pick Six Lotto11'

You are a class act... No one said it would be easy but cream always floats to the top... DD and patience win every time and now you have done it twice... You are the high bar to beat at VMC proving that glitter is not always gold... Best to you and yours in the future .. DIT,, just looked too good to be true when you told me to buy it below $18,, Now it's a double !!!! hank

[cl001]

Great trades, R59. BW did a fine job by adding you to the manager of VMC. He probably saw our two times champion coming!
It is generous of you to donate the one year subscription to SSK. His hard work is greatly appreciated!

[bbotcs]

I think small caps already are hot, Bobwins. When inflation hits, they will be THE place to be. And Apollo Gold will be $2 by the end of the year, so I'm going to select it in the next three contests! LOL.

[Bobwins]

Congrats to Researcher. Ho Hum! Another win!

I think it's informative that you "traded" your way to victory. This market is shifting fast and trading seems to be the winning strategy. This is starting to remind me of 2003-4, when smaller cap stocks started taking off after the 9-11 stock downturn.

Will smallcap and microcap stocks get red hot?

Also have to watch out for the end of this bear market rally. Went up fast and hard and could go the other direction just as quickly.

Thanks to Sskillz for all the hard work.

Bobwins

[2morrowsGains]

And thank you lentinman! After all these years and contests, I finally made it to the top on one, thanks mostly to my double down position in CHME and it's 3 month climb to over 100% gain during the contest.

[gilead23]

Congratulations researcher

No surprise to see you winning again. You are certainly one of the most astute investors on VMC.

And as many have said thanks to SSKILLZ. This is an incredible amount of work and he does a fantastic job.

[2morrowsGains]

Thank you SSKILLZ1. Don't know if research59 and cl001 were watching their rear view mirrors, but I was closing in on the final lap. Moved from #20 to #8 thanks to CHME's nice performance last week.

[2morrowsGains]

researcher59 & MSGI...If I am figuring things right, both used kind of different strategies to win the last 2 contests. resercher59 did a great jod trading his way to the top (w/ freezes) where MSGI did a great job timing his freezes.
Congratulations to both of you on your wins.

[MSGI]

Great job SSK. Thanks for all of the HOURS that you put into this contest.

[MSGI]

Congratulations researcher. Very nice gain for the quarter. Also, what a nice guesture to give SSK a one year subscription for his hard work. Shows what a great person you are.

[researcher59]

My remarks for the VMC Champions Board -

PSL11 spanned a very interesting and volatile period for the stock market ! As measured by the S&P500, the market dropped an unremarkable 3% for the 15 week contest period. However during the first 8 weeks of the contest the market dropped 25% followed by a rebound of 30% in the final 7 weeks. In effect we experienced a bear market for the 1st half of the contest followed by a bull market in the 2nd half. A truly unique and historic period !

I was greatly focused on my own portfolio during the market crash and so during the first 10 weeks of the contest did not make any trades (being very distracted by my own rapidly declining net worth) ! As the market began a strong rebound in early March I found myself in the middle of the pack in 40th place. On March 20th, 10 weeks into the 15 week contest, I was in 30th place with a loss of 8%. I still had my 4 trades left and set out to improve my position, with the goal of perhaps making it into the top 10. Victory was hardly on my mind with Yielddude leading with a gain of 37%.

On March 25th I began my comeback bid by freezing DIT for a 50% gain and soon thereafter doubled down into KPPC. My key trade came next, a risky earnings play on ERSO, a former IBD #1 stock now on the pinksheets. Q4 prospects were grim with aluminum prices having fallen sharply but I was encouraged by their dividend declaration as well as comments about hedging in their SEC filings. Even a breakeven quarter might spark a rally in the stock given its very depressed price of $0.57. My risky trade paid off nicely when they posted a surprisingly decent quarter with EPS of $0.06. The stock quickly rallied to near $1 for a 74% gain. My next trade was more conservative, into MFI, a financial microcap that hadn’t participated in the rally of the financials and seemed overdue for an upside move. That led to a gain of 29% over a 2 week period. Another winner for me was ORS which rallied strongly when a newsletter recommended it. I opportunistically froze the stock to lock in a 49% gain and subsequently traded into AEY for a further small gain.

Without any trading my original pick 6 would have appreciated 17% for the contest compared to a loss of 3% for the S&P500. It would have been a respectable showing but still only a 19th place finish. Trading is one of the keys to strong results and allowed me to surge up the rankings in the final weeks and finish with a gain of 62%.

The VMC board is by far the finest I have ever come across on the internet and has significantly contributed to my success in recent years. The expertise and due diligence of so many of our contributors is unrivaled in my experience. I look forward to continued successful investing and trading together in the years ahead. I wish our entire group success. For some more information on my investment style along with a bit of personal background I refer you to my PSL8 champion’s commentary -

SKILLZ1 is the greatest. He has really worked hard to make this contest so great. U are the best!

[bbotcs]

CL001. Pat yourself on the back, my friend. U did a wonderful job too and made the contest very exciting.

[bbotcs]

Congratulations researcher59. VERY impressive.

[cl001]

R59, Congrats for the first ever repeat champion! I got close but not enough. I did lobby AGT a few times to publish a PR on Friday so I can beat the famous Researcher59, but they didn't bite
Well, I am a small cap investor, seldom follow micro cap anyway. I never thought I could be as good as you or KIK and other in the PSL. I am very satisfied with a strong finish.

[MikeDDKing]

My 15 minutes of fame.

Thanks SSKILLZ1 for all your work on the contest!

SSK is the driving force behind these contests, putting in work week after week, not to mention all the work he does for the main board in managing the VMC index.

As a token of my appreciation for his tremendous contributions it's my pleasure to award him with an added year subscription to IHUB.

[researcher59]

SSK: Thanks for putting in all the hard work ! The statistics are fascinating and I'll be spending more time reviewing them over the weekend.

It was a tight race to the finish and I feel lucky to have won .... if the contest had gone just another day or two CL001 would probably have overtaken me. So congrats also to CL001 for a terrific finish. He's sure to win one of the upcoming contests, it's only a matter of time !

[SSKILLZ1]

Congrats to Researcher59 on the victory. Hopefully everyone had fun in PSL 11. Before you know it will be time for PSL 12. Anyways once again congrats to Researcher59 on winning PSL 11.

Mr. Consistency Standings

The Methodology: I provided a Mr. Consistency stat in VMC PSL 1, but couldn't do it in contest 2 + 3 due to trades. Anyway I found a new way to handle the situation in VMC PSL 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and beyond. Yes it it a different calculation then the one used in VMC PSL 1, but I still believe it shows a consistent stock picker, hence I'm going to call it Mr. Consistency standings.

Now first it is important to recognize that we start out with 6 position and end with 6 position. We may not have 6 different stocks in the portfolio, or the same 6 stocks we started with, but we still have 6 different positions.

From a calculation standpoint, we Take out the top performing and Worst Performing position of each person's PSL. We then Average the other 4 and we get an answer. I'm not going to bore anyone with the math behind it as it is very boring. But I believe this should give you a good idea of what I've done.

As you can see from a consistency standpoint. CL001 was up 61.47% using the consistency standings. So congrats to CL001 he is Mr. Consistency. There are 37/67 portfolios in positive territory using this stat instead of 44/67 the way we look at it to get a VMC PSL Champion. Well anyways I hope everyone enjoys this, I put a lot a work into this one, but I feel it is worth it.

VMC PSL 11 Indexes

Commentary: We have numerous indexes to present this contest. So without further ado let me give a brief explanation of them. The The Top 11 Index is made up of all stock being picked at least 5 times in the contest, this index is equally weighted. The Top 230 Index, is also equally weighted, and measures the average performance of all the stocks picked in this contest (Our stock universe). The Average Portfolio Return, measure the average performance of the 65 portfolios. These indexes or averages should be familiar to everyone, as I have presented these in past contest(s).

Other indexes to be presented: Average Wildcard Index this index measures the average performance of the 26 wildcards chosen in the contest, this index is equally weighted. Average Non Wildcard Index This index measures the average performance of the 204 non-wildcard entries, and this index is also equally weighted as well. Average Wildcard Index (Weighted Average) this index only difference from the Average Wildcard Index is this index uses a weighted average approach. What This basically means is there are 28 units in this portfolio, obviously the majority of stock only have 1 unit, but a stock like AGM has 2 units because it was picked 2 times in the contest. Average Non Wildcard Index (Weighted Average) this index only difference from the Average Non Wildcard Index is this index uses a weighted average approach. What this basically means is there are 362 units in this portfolio, obviously the majority of stock only have 1 unit, but a stock like ADL is weighted much more heavily and has 9 units because it was picked 9 times in the contest. Next, we get to the Average Portfolio (Original) the only difference between this index and the average portfolio return is it excludes the impact of transactions, meaning if no one could make transactions (Which is obviously not the case) this would be the average portfolio return. The Champions Index is basically and index that takes the average of the former eight PSL champions performance (Only 8/10 Participated in PSL 11). If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, and I will answer them to the best of my ability. Hope you enjoy the info.

As Usual I used my 4 trades as well if I had 8 of course I would use 8 as you alluded too. I'm not against a ton of trades, but their are a number of people that prefer this contest doesn't become a trading contest. I may change things a little in PSL 12, with the Buy a trade scenario, but that thought process is still a work in progress yet. Hope This Helps.
