Hmm... controversy! For what it's worth, here's how I'd do the math on the numbers today (Dec 18):
ABBV ... 22.88% price gain + 4.35% yield = 27.23%
KMI ... 15.04% price gain + 6.92% yield = 21.96%
ORC ... -14.65% price gain + 17.85% yield = 3.2%
RETL ... 89.39% price gain
USDP ... 51.36% price gain + 9.46% yield = 60.82%
Average: 40.52%
(I didn't understand the system at the start of the contest last year, regarding whether dividends were counted or not, which is why 4 of my 5 picks had high yield.)
********
Here are my 2022 picks, and I'm just picking the top 5 stocks I should have the most money in after my 2022 buying plan is complete.
AAPL
AVGO
MSFT
ORCL
STX
(Currently OXLC and HTGC are ahead of a few of those, but after I meet my targets and tech stocks return to form, they will fall behind, with NVDA & TGT being in sixth-seventh place.)
