Not asking for much in 2012, help wanted

Doug,
HE is a winner but only was up 1.21% for the day. The minimum requirement is 1.50% to get listed. On 5/30 ED was mentioned even though it gained less than 1.50%. Do you want ED and HE to be held to a different standard than our other 28 stocks?

I was wondering how this contest works Billy. Are you going to count both stocks together in the end or separately. If you have one strong stock and the other tanks can you still win or is it going to be an average of the two. I think I kind of like the idea of averaging the two.

Ski,
I think we'll have a winner for the single best pick as well as a combined gain winner. The combined total would be the most prestigious with the dividends also figured in.

I agree with you Billy. That sounds the most practical. Finally starting to see some movement with DUK. I bought it awhile back for the retirement port when it was much lower and it has done well by me but looking at the weekly chart I am seeing a much larger show of interest of late. With the economy and the markets in the flux they are in at the present time solid dividend paying equities will be the safe haven for investor money.

OK...sounds good

Doug,
You might have the last laugh in this contest. Many of the early leaders are fading.

I went into FAQ's and researched until I found the BB (bulletin board) codes. I have had trouble in the past using the "list" bb code, so I thought I would try the "code" one. Here is the link to the detail.
