How their trades did

Each of Banks's trades in a company's stock, priced on its trade date and again 30 and 90 days later, less what the S&P 500 did over the same days; a sale counts the other way. 28 of their trades could be priced (ETFs, funds and since-delisted stocks can't). Their average is within what chance gives. Every member, compared.
