2+2 Stock Trading Competition

Congratulations to JPKruse! Well done. Contest over. 640K was the best I could manage. I liked JP's strategy. Very creative and very ingenious. If you annualize the return, it's even more impressive. All the best.

Incredible return from JP. Awesome job. No one else even comes close. Congrats to the Champion.

Here is my transaction history.

I would have had a lot more if I held my NWAC short a few more weeks.
