I think what Len is trying to say is that, those low entry price of those very illiquid stock might not be feasible to get in the real world even with only $1000 buy-in, hence those stocks (and the gains booked) doesn't portray real world return. moreover it will just skew the result of the true PSL performance (mainly overestimating), even though we know PSL isn't true performance (since buy and sell transaction isn't really sent to the market on the bid and ask) but we want/try to get it cloase as real world world as possible (vs fantasy world).

On the other hand, it is also true for the stock that is priced very high due to the large bid and ask spread or due to the fact it is illiquid adn someone just happen to do a "stupid" buy.. but this won't be an issue since we VMCers are bagain hunter and will not pick this type of stock for their PSL (I hope they don't pick these kind of stocks).
