Billy when do you want.......and how many picks for 2015 do you want?

[mrmarket]

I suck at this, but will play again.

Phoenix, 10 stocks like last year before trading starts next year. Big difference is we can sell with a 10% stop on any stock and also every 3 months , but we can also hold for the year. We missed some great gains in 2014 not being able to sell when certain industries started tanking.

Mr.Market, It's not really a competition. Just trying to pick 10 stocks we think will do well in 2015. I'm starting the 1st trading day of the year since I can easily track YTD performance that way. I didn't plan it this way but 9 of my 10 picks are in your Shale dump. Maybe my criteria is similar to yours.

BIllie here are my 10

CNC CY EA GTIM LOCK MACK PPC SWIR SWKS TRUE I stayed away from precious metals and oil .........ALTHOUGH they may come back strong in 2015. We must be honest and simply say that any pick submitted is at best an educated guess! NO ONE can predict the future!

It's a good thing there's no rule that we can't have some of the same picks. Mine are :

BWLD--planning big expansion, checked their site and was surprised CEO , CFO and at least 3 other officers are women, they know what they are doing. I worked in a chicken restaurant in 1968 and we threw out the wings after they accumulated to overflowing in the freezer. Who would eat them let alone pay $1 a pound wholesale?

DIS--- millions of youngsters know all the words to the Frozen songs with more to follow

MA---just getting up to steam will have EMV chips in all cards in the near future

AAPL--apple pay is all I'll say

RH----New retail formula--forget malls and shopping centers--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fCNrpF-XiE

BABA--just getting started rumor is they will buy out E-Bay

FB----oculus rift founder Palmer Luckey age 22 sells to facebook at a bargain price of 2 billion, new Steven Jobs are waiting in the wings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcuA2Etx9Ak

CNC--HMO for uninsured ,under insured, supplemental Govt. Subsidized healthcare

ODFL--Truck transportation of goods #1

FDX---Listed as #1 or 2 in airfreight . Wait for next quarter profits.

Did you hear about the father whose daughter wanted Frozen underwear for Christmas? So, as a joke, he... and made her cry!

[billyjoe]

River, I just walked the dog and the wind chill factor is brutal. I came back in with frozen underwear and the poor dog had no clothes on at all!
