The Devil Made Me Do It

By -

A thoughtful Sloper decided to make a little spreadsheet of my lottery picks from back in July. You can view the spreadsheet here, and one of the posts from which the ideas were drawn is here.

The picks were pretty good, if I may say so – – in two months, the worst performer is down 23% and the best is up 370%. Overall, as of last night, they were up 78.77% on average. If only I held them to this day (painful wince). Proof that really crummy-looking stocks, when battered that badly, really spring to life. And this was a full four months after the March low!
