        PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, October 29, 2021

        What a week! Not. In a bit of another dreary week, we no longer have any picks beating any of the indices. Still, we do have two picks in the green: Louetta’s stalwart SAN and Paco’s moving-up-fast ETSY. Those are our current first and second place holders. In a rough week, Jiesen’s TSLA short jinked up sharply after the company announced a huge car deal with Hertz. Unfortunately, this knocked our season-long leader out of third place. Our new third place holder is Blind Squirrel’s KNSL, an excellent pick that looks poised to join the I-am-in-the-green club. OK, so it’s starting to get interesting folks. Less than 5 percentage points separate the first and second place picks, and the third place pick is only about 10 percentage points out of second. Behind that, are two more stocks, Vixtt’s ABNB and Mr. Market’s TRUP, that are only another 10-12 percentage points behind. It’s realistically getting to the point at which we have a number of stocks that could take it all if they get hot. As for the rest of us, our picks would have to turn into a nuclear reactor meltdown to stand a chance. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. Will the market get red hot? Will someone discover El Dorado under an above ground swimming pool in Paramus, New Jersey? Will the pope cut the soles off his shoes and learn to play the flute? Will dogs live in peace with cats? Anything is possible.

          I'm prepared to concede (I won't, but I'm prepared). The rest of the year is usually a bullish period. ETSY can gain 5% in a day. No bank is going to do that.

              KNSL may go green before the finish line!
              Math doesn't lie, but people do.

                Change of 16.5% in ETSYs favor today.

                  Now that’s what I call a week! We don’t have any picks beating the indices, but we do have five, that’s right five, picks in the green! Yowzah. Louetta’s SAN is till holding on to first place, followed by PACO’s ETSY in second and Mr. Market’s TRUP in third. The gap between first and second is pretty narrow at this point, and the spread between the first five picks is not that much. I therefore think it’s safe to say that we are going to see some shakeups at the top before this thing is over. In any event, we’re in the home stretch now, so giddyup little doggies.

                        As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” This week saw some more shakeups at the top as Paco’s ETSY made a solid move to take over first place. Moreover, ETSY is now beating two of the three indices. Mr.Market’s TRUP also made a nice move and now holds down second place. Following that, Louetta’s long green SAN is in third place. Behind the top three, Blind Squirrel’s KNSL and Vixtt’s ABNB stand poised to make an assault on the top three. This is getting real interesting, folks. We have a real race here. Stay tuned!

                          I will keep my comments brief this week as I am burdened with sadness over the loss of Karel. God bless you and your family in these difficult times, Karel.

                            Oh Boy, what a difference a virus makes. The market took it on the chin this week and sent some of our green positions back into the red. Paco’s ETSY remained strong, however, and continues to beat all three indices. It is followed by our remaining two green positions, Blind Squirrel’s KNSL and Mr. Market’s TRUP. Mercifully, it’s getting close to the end of the year, but we still have to see if there are any surprises left for us. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

                              Now I will concede.

                                Don't concede! You still have all of December to make up the 10% that separates you from the podium.

                                I'm not giving up, either. TSLA may be over $1000 today, but it could just as well be $420 tomorrow. All it takes is one more tweet from Elon saying that's what it's worth (and I still doubt the veracity of that claim).
