Summary
The post reviews the performance of stocks recommended as "favorite value stock" in a Reddit thread from September 2023, comparing individual returns to the S&P 500 (+66.8%) and Dow Jones (+51.8%).
The author’s thesis is to quantify how well the crowd-sourced value picks performed over three years, highlighting wide dispersion from huge winners (Nvidia +364%, TSMC +152%) to deep losers (ARE -55%, Bayer -52%).
Quality assessment: This is retrospective data compilation, not original due diligence. It’s useful as a sentiment/crowd-bias gauge but is noise for forward-looking decisions.
