*I store all data & statistics for the summer contest on my website

www.EverythingEven.com

I think its official, we're in a Bull Market!

I've been running the StockPickingContest since 2015 and I don't think I've seen it this good.

Before we start, please spend a moment with my sponsors as they help me so I can continue to help you.

The Summer Contest kicked off June 22nd and after just one short month, 66 percent of users have portfolio gains of over 10%. Think about that for a moment! We have 1,445 people in the contest, all of whom picked their best 3 companies, and 956 of those users one month later are up over 10%.  INCREDIBLE!

First Month Performance of 1,445 contestants

2020 Summer Contest First month Statistics

  • 40 users gained over 100%
  • 280 users gained over 50%
  • 633 users gained over 25%
  • 956 users gained over 10%
  • 1,156 users are above zero

That is ridiculous! Let's juxtapose that with the 2018 StockPickingContest source: http://everythingeven.com/2018spc.php 

Out of 431 contestants in the 2018 stock picking contest

  • 1 user gained above 100%
  • 10 users gained above 25%
  • 31 users ended above zero
  • 400 people would have lost money (including me at -54%)

"Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat them" so although we have short memories and everything currently looks awesome, let us not forget that short time ago so we can stay planted firmly within reality.

But I also agree with my good friend, @Goldfinger in that, "The Trend is Your friend." And for the time being, things are looking pretty good. Its equally as important to enjoy the run as it is to remember how fast things can change!

I enjoyed this article he recently posted,

7 Bull Market Charts And Why Price Is The Most Important Fundamental

Further evidence of a bull market is looking at the 20 most picked companies in the contest.

In one short month, had you bought the most popular plays, you'd be up 25%. I quivered when I wrote that, as many of you know the statistic of how the most picked companies usually turns out.

PRIZES:

The winner of the contest wins a 1 ounce silver stacker bar! For contestants who provided me their email addresses to receive sponsored news updates, I was able to provide additional bonus prizes. We have over 800 users out of the 1,445 in the contest who joined the bonus prizes.

  • Highest ranked subscriber wins 1 ounce of GOLD!!!! ($2,300+ CAD value)
  • 2nd highest ranked wins a 10-ounce silver stacker bar
  • Next 25 ranked subscribers receive a 1-ounce silver coin. This means if you come in 100th place, you may still win a prize because not everyone ahead of you subscribed!
  • The top 5 Hat Tricks Subscribers win a 1-ounce silver coin (Hat Tricks = all 3 picks are above zero) 



Final Thoughts:

I thoroughly enjoy running these contests and I am grateful to provide additional prizes for the first time. We are in a bull market and everyone seems happy and cheerful. I'm loving it! There have been many ups and downs since I started tracking this stuff in 2015, many more downs than ups though. So while we are in this phase, let us enjoy it.

I hope you are doing well with your investments and more importantly, with life in general. And remember, these contests are for entertainment purposes, so take everything presented in this article with a grain of salt. This is all just for fun.

Stay tuned for the next update! And don't forget:

"The greatest investment is in yourself."

With gratitude;
