1/31/2020 Contest update
(Contest YTD is calculated from 1/3/2020 close.)

JBOG’s portfolio gave up quite a bit of ground but held on to first place with a 44.37% YTD gain. Also maintaining their rank were second place FILO’s portfolio, up 41.85% YTD, and third place OLIVIER’s portfolio, up 17.31% YTD.
