Stock Picks for 2015, Results of 2014 Picks

**billyjoe** · 01-24-2015, 04:38 PM

I haven't forgotten you guys. I'm kind of making rules on the fly. So far: 1. You have the option at the end of each month to sell any stock down 10% or more and either keep it in cash or put it in one of your remaining picks at the current price of the existing stock. You must post decision within 5 trading days of each new month or stick with the pick, hell or high water.
2. You can sell any of your picks at the end of each quarter, April1, July1, Sept1. You may go into cash or put the $$ into one of your remaining picks. Theoretically you could end the year in all cash, all 10 stocks, or a combination of each. This way I hope to have fewer stocks to look up as the year progresses. 3. Once you sell a pick you can't go back and pick it again. The universe of stocks can only remain the same or decrease. We're starting with pretend cash of 10,000 per stock.

Will post end of the month results next weekend. Here are the leading 10 so far and 9 that you might consider selling.

1. Louetta-----RUSL---+22.91%
2. Louetta-----MBT----+20.06
3. Riverbabe---AKRX---+16.99
4. Louetta-----TNK----+16.47
5. Louetta-----SLV----+16.27

6. Mimo-------CEF-----+15.37%
7. Riverbabe---AMBA---+11.36
8. Phoenix/Mimo-SWKS-+11.21
9. Louetta-----GLD-----+9.38
10. Riverbabe--ZBRA----+8.76

and 9 stocks potentially in trouble :

1. Mimo------OPTT--- -25.13%
2. Phoenix---TRUE--- -21.62
3. Phoenix---LOCK--- -19.88
4. Phoenix---SWIR-- -18.80

Here are complete results for everybody. Remember those stocks that have lost 10% or more can be rolled over into existing stocks on your list only during the next 5 trading days March 2nd thru March 6th. Every 3 months starting April 1st you can sell any of your stocks and roll the $$ amount into another stock on your list. It would be possible to end the year with 1 stock. I didn't mention I've generously given each of you $100,000 in Mr.Market play money that will be added up on Dec. 31st to determine who has the most play money to end 2015.
