Right now, we have a list of the top protfolios by profit in the stock trader section. It looks like this: I think its pretty inaccurate since they show by dollar profit, which gives an advantage to people who have put in lots of money in to stocks. I'd rather see the top portfolios list by stock return, instead of dollar profit. For example, CC1's has the top performing portfolio by dollar profit. Yet when you look at his return, 3.25 percent as of now, it isn't that impressive compared to other portfolios. I would like a list that reflects on how good you are at investing in the right stocks then a list that reflects making a profit with huge amounts of stocks.
So say someone purchases 1 share of a stock for $3. If it goes up 200%, they may be top-ranked in terms of percent increase, but with just a $6 profit. I don't think that would look nice on the leaderboards. Looks fine for now, in my opinion.
It would look nice. The percent return is actually reflecting how good you are at investing then the plain out dollar number. For example, as of now, Demacca has a higher return then me. However, he is only making a 0.58 percent return, which is not that impressive. The only reason he's even on one of the top, is because he has 700k in the stock market....
I agree with your thinking here. I have only 164k invested, but my margins have to be much greater than if I had 800k.
