PORTFOLIO EXPERIMENT - Reddit's Most and Least Popular Coins - Month 3

Three months ago 3 portfolios were created in order to test the hypothesis that redditors are poor investors.https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/zdnesq/portfolio_experiment_reddits_favorite_coins_vs/

The portfolios consist of five coins that are highly favored by people here and five that are widely disliked. In order to provide a reference point for comparing these portfolios, a control portfolio was established with an even split of 50% Bitcoin and 50% Ethereum.

Results after one month can be seen here https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1032esd/portfolio_experiment_reddits_favorite_coins_vs/

Below are the results after 3 months:(starting from $100 per portfolio):

• Control $136.89
• Good Boys $128.51
• Bad Boys $152.21

Detailed porfolio comparison

Below you can see the price movement over the course of 3 months:

Price movement of 3 porfolios over the course of 3 months

Observations:

As was expected all portfolios moved pretty much in sync. With ALT portfolios having greater swings. Contrary to previous months where good and bad portfolios were pretty much equal, now we can see a significantly better performance of "bad" portfolio.

The return on bad portfolio was almost double when compared to good one.

• Good +28.5%
• Bad +52.21%

Individual performance

• Best HEX +45.3% (Richard Heart would be proud)
• Worst XMR -11.6%

Conclusion - So far in an uptrending market greater risk gives greater reward. This is however a long term experiment so it is still quite early to declare the definitive winner.

Peace :)
