    You didn't vote so you're not getting any credit. Those are the rules!

    :p:p:p:p:p

    P.S. In fact, the voting was so lopsided this week that I think it might be better to call out the loser instead.

    Results have been in for a minute now, but there are more important things in life so the official ceremony is a little late. Nevertheless, here's the chart (which I'm not a great fan of). And, here's a calculation from historical prices:
    Code:
    1 (user) => (/ (- 54.35 53.94) 53.94) ;;; VEU                                                    
                                                                                                      
    ;Value: 7.601038190582197e-3                                                                      
                                                                                                      
    1 (user) => (/ (- 198.76 200.04) 200.04) ;;; VTI                                                  
                                                                                                      
    ;Value: -6.398720255948816e-3
    The folks who chose VEU to outperform turned out to be right. As I mentioned previously, the polling was so lopsided this week, that I think it's best to award a boobie prize instead of congratulate the winners:

    Therefore, great job @Axon! You went your own way and screwed the pooch, lol. Better luck next time.

  3. To be honest, I'm more a fan of VRE.
