Well, the good news is our airline baskets performed magnificently yesterday, as oil continued to sell off, putting multiple subgroups up 17% or more week-to-date. Two of our readers (Carmen and Jim) now sit at #20 and #30 in the overall standings, with impressive portfolios of $1.94 million and $1.92 million, respectively. Yours truly has vaulted to a respectable #73, with just over $1.8 million.
The bad news - the weird news, anyway - is that our many participants enjoying 17-18% week-to-date gains have been unable to reach the weekly leaderboard, where the top 10 scorers are each showing 2-day gains of more than 90%. Since Monday’s top scorer only showed a gain of 11%, this seems mathematically impossible, based on the Tuesday price change of the 4 best performing contest-eligible stocks (ABK, NWA, MTG, and PSMT), which booked an average gain of 35%. Admittedly, that’s just the equity portfolio. Currency trading continues throughout the day and can theoretically generate limitless gains. But with $1 million in buying power (including the 10:1 leverage available to a currency portfolio with a $100,000 cash balance), one would need to generate a one-day currency gain of roughly 40%, on top of a perfect equity allocation, to achieve the gains ostensibly achieved by all top 10 weekly gainers.

Additionally, 4 of the top 10 weekly gainers appear on the top 25 overall leaderboard, meaning it’s unlikely that the irregularity is explained by people using Bonus Bucks to heap huge percentage gains on tanked portfolios with very low starting values. This also means that the phenomenon appears to be distorting the overall rankings, which could well impact the distribution of the $1 million kitty.
Needless to say, it seems very likely that there’s either a major system bug rearing its head or folks have uncovered a spectacular new way to cheat. I’ve emailed Customer Care to see what’s what and will update with any response.
Anyone else concerned about the problem may also want to email Customer Care to make sure they’re aware of the situation.
