Piss poor performance for conference host Mr. Katusa considering he charges $3495 USD a year for his subscription service. All three of his picks mentioned at the show were significantly in the red over the last year.
The competition was between Marin Katusa, Frank Holmes, and Rick Rule (winner).
Only 2 out of the 8 picks given finished in the green.
I hope someone holds Marin and Frank accountable and asks them to explain what went wrong at this years show.
It is really a joke that they are even having a top picks panel. Maybe a good chance to short.
Let's take a look at the performance.
