I still can’t embed the results using Imgur.com, so, I’m attaching the links.

Thank you Louetta for posting the results when I was away. Many thanks.

Well, I’ve learned my lesson. Since it wasn’t real money, I picked a stock I don’t own because it was cheap and I thought I could leverage any gains for a bigger percentage than with an expensive stock. My original pick was FB, which I do own and believe in, and I should have stuck with it. As it is, NIO looks like it is headed for the Pink Sheets. I should have stuck with what I know, picking stocks that will add value over time, instead of swinging for the fences and trying to pick a stock that will have the most gains, even in a paper trading contest. Honestly (and obviously), I don’t know how to pick the stock with the most gains. If I ever did, it would be purely by accident.

I have a similar situation. I suck at picking stocks with the most gains. And if I did picked a stock with a 20 percent gain or greater it was by luck.

Accident or luck, I’m OK with it as long as I’m making money – That’s the best part about stock picking.

Finally, the embedding the results works.

JohnHenry, when I try to send you a private message I'm getting a message I can't send to you until you clear some space from your stored message folder.

Per Schwab data NIO is up 40% since about June 14.
