Rules for Pick of The Year (PoTY) 2019

[mimo_100]

Hi Mimo,


I would think you get the price of the last trading day of that stock symbol. For example, if you picked ABC stock and XYZ stock purchased ABC. You get the last trading price of ABC before the merger because you picked ABC not XYZ.
We can discuss more if you like for fun.

Thanks JohnHenry - I will be posting some discussion comments if and when this actually happens.

John Henry, What if the takeover company offered Mimo's pick market closing price plus $1.50 per share? This often happens.

He gets the closing price plus $1.50 per share. I'm OK with it. Are you OK with it?

As of 03-01-19

Updated QQQ, SPY, and DIA prices for 02-01-19. Sorry for the incorrect data. I will post April, May, and June results when I come back from overseas - Going backpacking. Thanks

Would ya look at that! I'm Louetta's new competition!

This month's results show why in recent years I've been picking these wild-assed stocks for the contest.

This year I picked a solid stock, it gained 10%, and still 25% of the people in the contest are ahead of me. I saw this years ago and so I started picking these hero plays which would either get crushed or go up 400% and none of them worked.

Louetta, If all of your instincts are wrong, do the opposite and you should flourish!

Well, my pick sure went to hell in a hand basket quickly. :-/

[riverbabe]

For the record, TEUM (my personal stake from 2.22) just went to 130.04%. One quarter late. I could have beaten you guys all hollow so easily!

[Louetta]

Interestingly enuf my records show Phoenix' ELLXF in the lead with a gain of 51% at $3.92. Schwab shows ELLXF on March 11 at $2.18, an 80% move in less than 4 weeks.

[BlueWolf]

Well, there can be no doubt who is in last place with my gem of a pick, NIO.

[Louetta]

My unofficial tally as of EOD 5/2 show Antioch's Dad leading with AAPL +24%, John Henry 2nd with TME +22 and Silverspeck 3rd with ACB +19.

[billyjoe]

SHOS, bastardly son of SHLD is thriving to my dismay.
