I'd like to put my DRYS into MBT please.

[billyjoe]

I'm selling MA, BWLD, RH, ODFL, FDX. Putting 1/2 into DIS 1/2 into CNC. That leaves me with CNC, DIS, FB, and AAPL. Prices will be calculated at today's open in 21 minutes.

Can I buy a new stock any time in the future? I thought the first 5 days of the month we could buy new. I guess I will stay in cash after the sale.

No new stocks allowed after original 10 picks. You could end the year all in cash or from 1 to 10 stocks or any combination thereof. You can hold cash as long as you want until you want to put it into any of your remaining picks.

In real life I sold the RUSL. Oil prices are up and Vladimir Putin has been quiescent (it's rumored he has a girlfriend - no lie) so this looks like a top or near it. But it's fun in the contest.
