Hi. If you don't mind would you please e-mail me your Canacol financial model? I'd like to leverage that for some analysis.

Thanks!

SSKILZ1 - Thanks VERY MUCH for the dedication in organizing/managing the competetition ... it was a lot of fun!

Knowledgeisking - congratulations on the impressive win!

Thanks to all for another spirited PSL. Special shout-out to swanlinbar for a great performance--keeping the heat on me right down to the wire.

And yes, rocketeer, I absolutely own all the stocks I pick in PSLs. It wouldn't make sense (at least to me) to put DD into a pick and then not own at least a few in "real life".

See y'all @ PSL21...

Congrats to KIK again & SSKILLZI thanks again for all your hard work in crunching all those Numbers!

SPIN.. It seems as every uptic in SPIN was/has been by a painter.. Maybe he just got lazy and hit the wrong key at the close..?? hank

(Cut and paste) Congrats again KIK on a tight win. Tell me: do you trade the stocks you nominate for the contest in your real account?

And thanks again SSKILLZ1 for fantastic moderation and stats

Congrats to the (Ki)King!

Somehwat to my surprise, I finished in the top 10. Probably a good time to go back and see what my picks were and why. Offhand, I couldn't tell you...

KiK - awesome! Congrats!

Swanny - way to keep it close!!

Sskillz- thanks

KIK is indeed the king. And Swannie's performance wasn't exactly shabby! Another great contest. Thank you SSKILLZ1 for all of your hard work.

Congrats to KIK ... he is the king!
Thanks for all your work SSK
fred

Great contest and thanks again.
Thank goodness I rose from last place.
And gave that role to someone else
I think I held it for most of the contest.
Someone painted SPIN at the close with 100 shares
which did not help me.
Congrats to KNOWLEDGEISKING

Congrats to KNOWLEDGEISKING for yet another first place finish. KNOWLEDGEISKING has won 6 PSL Contests out of 20. It gets even more impressive when you look at the last 6 and 8 contest. He has won 4/6 and 5/8 contest respectively. Wow. Congrats on the great job, but the good news is he is do to lose PSL 21. So PSL 21 contest deadline will be May 18th, with the start date may 21rst. So I'll be upating you all when I set up the board for PSL 21, will probably do it next weekend. Hope All enjoyed the stats for PSL 20. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.

VMC PSL 20 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 17 Index is made up of all stock being picked at least 3 times in the contest, this index is equally weighted. The Top 185 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 46 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 21 wildcards chosen in the contest, this index is equally weighted. Average Non Wildcard Index This index measures the average performance of the 164 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 23 units in this portfolio, obviously the majority of stocks only have 1 unit, but a stock like ITSI.OB has 3 units because it was picked 3 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 253 units in this portfolio, obviously the majority of stocks only have 1 unit, but a stock like MMT.V is weighted much more heavily and has 13 units because it was picked 13 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 all the former PSL champions in PSL 20. 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.

Buy A Trades Results

Finally the Buy a trades has started to have some impact. 6 people used the first buy a trade, and 3 people used the second buy a trade. Maybe the buy a trade option is starting to get off the ground. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.

May 18th contest deadline, May 21rst start date.
