Bull Sessions (2/8/2022)

Don't Cry For Us, Punxsutawney. An unexpected photo finish in the group category for Groundhog XV. A Few Moments With ... consensus selections for Groundhog XVI and a few new stocks to ponder.

In this Bull Sessions episode recorded on February 8, 2022, hosts Mark Robertson and Ken Kavula discuss the results of the 2022 Groundhog Day investment competition, a cornerstone event for Manifest Investing's investment club community. The Groundhog Nation, representing the collective performance of all participating clubs, demonstrated exceptional 5-year returns that exceeded major market benchmarks including the Wilshire 5000. Despite a challenging 2021 market year where most participants underperformed, the long-term track record validates the investment methodologies taught through Manifest Investing's Modern Investment Club movement. Robertson and Kavula provide detailed analysis of the competition standings, with Ruth Wilfong from Indianapolis claiming the individual champion title ahead of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, while Space Coast narrowly edged out the previously dominant Mid Michigan Model Club in a dramatic final-moments finish that required multiple verification checks.
