We certainly had overall very poor performance in this contest. Compared to the major market indexes it was serious underperformance, evidently caused by broad underperformance of microcaps and value stock.

I wonder if it was the worst relative performance for any contest in history ?

Mr Sheep was DOWN a whopping 31% and the average portfolio was DOWN 10% versus gains of 9% for the S&P500 and 3% for the Russell 2000. Yikes !

Let's hope we do better in contest #11.
