Another Contest. This one has Prizes!!

[New-born baby]

Jiesen,
I hate to tell you that AOB opened at $10.00 not under $10 and therefore is ineligible . Since you picked before the market opened the price is today's open.

Peanuts is in with TWLL @9.27. Karel is in with CRDC @9.30. I think Spike and Stenz posted after open so will get tomorrows opening price.

AH HA! Serves ya right!
Now I'll have another chance to grab AOB!

lol

River is pretty sly picking up NFI.

What are the odds of my under $10 pick getting to $15, you may ask. I went back 1 year and 10 months during which I tracked 75 different under $10 stocks that appeared to be the most promising. These were reported on this thread. Of the 75 , 13 eventually hit the $15 mark or higher. This includes 9 during '05-'06 and only 4 in '07. Here are the best with the price when first mentioned and the high since that date. Have added length of time from first mention until $15 target hit.

BTJ----8.12--59.35---1 month
GROW--7.39---36.35--8 months
MED----5.67--21.00--4.5 months has since tanked below 6.00
COGO--6.40--19.89---4 months
NUAN--6.77--20.24---14 months
APLX--6.76--17.75---16 months
PRFT--9.55--25.19---8 months
CRNT--7.00--18.60---2.5 months
BPHX--7.58--17.44---3.5 months
IFO----9.95--18.00---2 months
VSR---8.00--15.35---1.5 months has since tanked to 7.05
ERS---9.74--16.90---2.5 months has since tanked to 5.85
CRY---9.89--15.20---1 month has since tanked to 8.83

I calculate the probability that anyone can pick an under $10 to hit $15 in 3 months at approx. 8%.

billyjoe,

I put a strong pull on my equity one-armed bandit and the line came up ADAM.
So, I’ll take that one.

What thread did you get all of those stocks from? Nice research.

I'd like SPF if it's not taken yet. I better put more sunscreen on.

[ywamchris]

We'll call it a hunch...

I'll take NFI for the win... please.

I'm blinded by faith.

mimo,
Good to hear from you. These all appeared on this thread going back to Nov. '05. They were found by researching several online sites. Some of them being IBD , Barchart , MSN money , Vectorvest, Stockscreener , and IIC 100 . Also going back I found that our old friend Grebnet had purchased AOB at 1.98 , not too shabby. Where are you , Grebnet ?

QXM may be 9.20 now ... but it was 8.15 when I picked it one day earlier.

Rob,
If we were going by % gain you'd be way ahead. I'll keep listing by price as we see who's getting closest to 15. There is an advantage to picking early (economic upswing etc.) as well as an advantage to picking late (surprise earnings, shocking positive developments at months end). It will all even out.
