I thought it would be interesting to see how well a portfolio of the Top 5 contestant picks by dollar amount did for the first three quarters. Sticking with the Contest $100,000 total, I allocated $20,000 to each of the picks and as indicated in the table below they produced a gain of 22.23%. Not bad!
