This doesn't look too pretty, but it should get across the idea. Investors who used the Allman picks as a contrary indicator and BOUGHT 100 shares of each based on the Friday close prices, would have made a nice 9.7% profit today. Of course, a lot of that was the increase in ETEK, but it's not as if the other 9 fell off the face of the planet with the news from Barron's.
