Looks good, Ody. Nice to see some Mr.Market guys right up at the top.

Did you want me to post the image of this weekly? I did it quickly just as an example though there are so many listed it looks very tiny, here is an example:

[billyjoe]

Ody,
I think the Mr.Market picks should be separate except for an occasional top ten mixed or maybe a monthly post with both. I wasn't really expecting you to keep track of the celebrities unless it's not that much extra work. I can't do the fancy graphics as you saw in my post.

----- In 2006, and it may repeat this year, after the first couple months, 2 picks pulled away and increased their leads over the rest thru the end of the year. The strong gained strength while many laggards vegetated to end the year.

Either or, doing the POTY is the easiest of my tasks as it just requires me taking a snapshot, uploading, then pasting here. I can do pics on a regular basis if you want, though I'm not here to steal your thunder I go a little overboard often trying to do too much so let me know what you would like. I can do a monthly update of everyone including Mr. Market, and a weekly just of the Celebs if you wanted. Or none at all, just at the time I got the motivation to see how we were doing against Celebrity stock pickers and went to far

I've personally always wondered how they would stack up against us, or just see their picks on a regular basis. If I had the time, I would plot all of their daily picks along with ours to see how they performed but that would be crazy

How often do they update their picks? If so do they post them somewhere? Thanks.

[billyjoe]

wooish,
I just researched the net to look for so called experts that made predictions on what they thought would be a great pick for 2010.

[billyjoe]

Ody,
I was just going to post their monthly results since my technical skills are so primitive it takes a long time to type it all but weekly would be good if you can set it up and it wouldn't be too time consuming. Thanks for all your work.

Billie too bad we didn't SHORT SOMX on 12/7/09 BEFORE it took a Kamakazi Dive to less than a buck.....How ironic a Kaaikazi Dive on 12/7 a day of infamy. Had we then went LONG on 12/20 we would have a King's Ransome in our Portfolios .......I wonder if BelaRuskie saw that coming LOL !

[Odysseus]

Holy Celebrity Pick Batman !

[billyjoe]

Ody,
I think Bulkowski knows what he's doing.

[Odysseus]
