Paul, I just noticed this portfolio you have set up. I have a recommendation. Reconstruct the portfolio to buy $10,000 of each stock rather than 1,000 shares. You want equal dollar amounts not equal shares. Otherwise the highest priced stock has undue influence on the overall results versus the lowest, as you can see with the actual portfolio (where KEM has 10 times as much invested as BAMM). Furthermore, the 3 buyer rule suggests that a stock meeting that criterion got the same actual cash from a buyer as another one.
