Hi Fred,
just a question to your analysis:
which of the 5 results have you used in the analysis?
Which of them is more realistic; ie. the difference among
them being the number of positions it each time opens (1 to 5
different securities). I personally prefer 2, although 1 gives
in most cases much more, but IMHO maybe too risky putting
all money on one stock only. The other extreme is of course 
that the more positions the more are the costs (commission etc.).
Thx
UM
