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

------------billy

[IIC]

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?

--------------billy

OK...sounds good

[skiracer]

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.

-------------billy

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.

Skiracer----DUK----+1.68% up 3.35% YTD and moving up in the standings.


------------billy

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.

5/31/12 Late tank of market means no big winners today. Check back later for results at end of 5 months.

What???...HE hits an intraday all time new high and settles in at an all closing high...What does it take to be a winner around here Billy?

[em26jamie]

Sweet! I'm 2nd, and 2nd to last. If I had gotten in soon enough, In would be 1 and 2 (Phoenix took TNH before I could grab it.) Those are the 2 I actually own too.

We might have just gotten a death warrant though. Cramer is saying to get into high yielding stocks and out of bonds.
