put me down for AOB.

You got it, $$MM. AOB long, it is!

I don't have a canook account but I have a boat load of that stock....I thought I mentioned that its american symbol is mgaff.pk...which means you can buy it here in the good ol usa. But no matter, if the rules say no pink slips or bulletin board stuff then I'll find another one.

sorry..I didn't see your other post Jiesen.... I'll stay with hmc, what the heck, its only a game.

Even excellent canadian uranium miners, if they are only traded in Canada, won't do anyone here any good unless they have a Canada-friendly brokerage account.

Jiesen,

I will pick Berkshire Hathaway class A shares

I don't think DD is neccessary

I'll take GOOG. Just because...

Great picks, both. I'm assuming you mean long, and unless you tell me otherwise, that's how you'll be entered. Hmm, that means the BRKB shares are still available for anyone who thinks those will do better than the A's next year or is content to be like two "peanuts" in a pod...

is this pick allowed? Technically, it trades on the pink sheets because its a foreign owned company. If it doesn't qualify, I'll take HMC even though its a little expensive right now and I'm hoping to buy it on sale again in January (most likely right after the deadline for entries).

I will take HMC as your pick, come Jan 12, unless you change your mind between now and the deadline. At that time, all picks will be final, and prior to that, any changes can be made by posting a new message clearly stating that you want your pick changed (interpretation will be my call). An example of an acceptable way to do it:

Change my pick from QQQQ short to DIA long. (yes, if you want to be boring you can play these- and only one person is allowed to play each pick)

another good one is:
Forget about my previous pick, gimme AOB long instead!

but please don't post this:
I think I'll take KKD.PK

A post like the last one above, without sufficient clarification before the deadline, will most likely end up disqualifying your entry.

Im not sure if this is where we are posting for next year but ythe winner and my pick will be FRPT. it is currently an OB stock but is applying and will get NASDAQ approval soon.

IIC you might as well send me next years prize now also.

Tatnic, Grebnet, why do you have to get all complicated already? It's really a simple rule- if it's on the NASDAQ, Amex or NYSE it's fair game, otherwise no. You can't pick .OB or .PK stocks. Even excellent canadian uranium miners, if they are only traded in Canada, won't do anyone here any good unless they have a Canada-friendly brokerage account. So both of you, kudos for being early on these, but unless FRPT is trading on the NASDAQ by Jan 12, you will need to find new picks. I'm sorry, but like Rob says, once I make an exception to the rules, I'll have to be making them all the time.

Also, here's the first remider for everyone:

Get your picks in for the New Year by close of market (4:00pm EST)

JAN 12th

Doug,

Check your mail. And happy holidays.

mgaff (MGA.to)

I only picked Jan 31 because I was being lazy... Your point is well taken, and I will begin the contest on Jan 12th instead.

So everyone get your picks ready by JAN 12th

I'll play in this contest since the time frame suits me better.

And I'm sticking to my global warming theme...stocks like hmc (I'm hoping to get that on sale soon), tm, ccj, dil, ande, stp, spwr....there are others. But for next year I'll pick MGA.to (mgaff.pk), a small canadian uranium miner.

Greb,
I'm assuming you own it? It's had a great run up over the past couple of months.

I traded it twice for some good profits but bought last week at a higher price than my last sale because I think it still has a long way to go. I think it is at least a double from here.
