The 20 most read articles of 2018, plus the 20 most listened-to Bearcasts

The other day I put up a poll asking who will be the most read non-Tom writer on ShareProphets. You voted this way:

Who will be the most-read non-Tom ShareProphets writer of 2018?  
Selection  
Cynical Bear  40%
Nigel Somerville  32%
Steve Moore  12%
Chris Bailey  4%
Shy Bear  0%
Darren Atwater  0%
Lucian Miers  0%

The result may make you question your stock picking abilities. The top Non-Tom artice excluding bearcasts for 2018 was, at #15,... Gary Newman, with  Could Blenheim Natural Resources finally be on the verge of turning its fortunes around?
