CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge - The (Empty) Winners' Circle
It's been 3 days since the contest officially ended and so far, we have no winners. In prior weeks, it's taken up to several days (and occasionally more than a week) for the admins to crown the weekly winner, so I think we can likely expect at least another day or so of waiting. It's frustrating, yes, but given the frequency and variety of technical glitches that arose during the contest, it stands to reason that CNBC would have their work cut out for them, tabulating, verifying, confirming, investigating, etc., lest they announce the winners prematurely, then realize someone had cleverly cheated or a stock split hadn't been properly accounted for.
For what it's worth, the contest website indicates only that the announcement will come this week, as in:
AND THE WINNER IS.... Tune-in to CNBC this week to find out the winner's (sic) of the Million Dollar Prize Pool.
On Friday, we compiled a bunch of finishing scores from readers, with portfolio values ranging as high $2.66 million and Week 10 gains exceeding 73%.
Whether those were enough to grab a chunk of the million dollars and/or the Superbowl prize package, we'll just have to wait and see.
To recap, our best-performing readers were:
Final portfolio values:
- Dave Sage: $2.662 million
