Pick of the Year Contest Celebrity Division Week Ending 12/15/06

Nine advanced and eight declined as the YTD performance dropped to +18.28%. This can be blamed on the 9.91% drop of our leader, Cramer's ATI. The only significant gainer was #6 MSFT +2.69%. IPAS lost 3.34% and was the other major loser.

I believe Jiesen volunteered to run next year's POTY...I'm retiring at the end of the year...Doug

Hey, Jiesen, we're just about down to the last week, and still no one knows if you're going to pick this up or not. Come on, dude, just say that you will.

I don't think he really volunteered...I just volunteered him...This year I believe that I gave the first week to make pix...so they were not the opening prices for the year

[jiesen]

Alright, I'll do it. But there won't be weekly updates. Once a month is all I can promise. You have until the end of January to make a pick- starting price will be the closing price (per Yahoo, unless it's shown that the Yahoo price is incorrect) the last trading day of January. Any stock trading on the NASDAQ, AMEX or NYSE is fair game, long or short.

If you win, Rob donates a price to Doug in your name. Otherwise, all rules default to the first post in this thread (except that silly rule about dividends- they count now). If you don't like my rules, you have until Jan 1 to suggest an alternative set of them, and/or volunteer for running this.

Ok, ready? Now... GO!

[IIC]

Only suggestion that I have is that you change the start date to Jan. 5th or Jan 12th...Otherwise, there will be no reason to make a pick until January 31st and half the people will forget about it...Doug

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

Mr Market Stock Contest 2006

Close on 12/22/2006

Mickey has been $$$HUGE$$$ since the beginning of March!!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that Mickey will win the gold.

Our A/D/U was 8/18/0 for the week and our YTD remained at 12/14/0 as Stocks54 goes green with ELN and gary goes red with VLO.

Overall we were down 1.58% for the week and our YTD stands at -1.67%

How soon they forget!!!...Guess those Duncan-Hurst guys forgot what they learned at the IBD Chart Seminar as the CSSGX was down 2.73% for the week.

I use the open on 1/3/06 for the indices and the close on 1/3/06 for the CSSGX because funds are only priced at eod.





Here are little charts of all our pix:

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.

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.
