    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).

    I'm conceding. No hope for poor ROOT.

      Yes, your conceding actually makes sense. Kinda doubt ROOT can run from 3 to 20 in a month...

        .... snip .....
        I've been getting my small but pleasingly firm behind kicked for 5 weeks now, not just 1. No hope.

                Wow! I think I'll wait for Bluewolf's update to be sure, but.... looks like we may have a winner with that one!

                  Hello fellow stock pickers. There was a shakeup this week, and following a big move up, Mr. Market’s TRUP is our new leader. TRUP is also the only pick that is beating all three indices. Congrats Mr. Market. Blind Squirrel’s KNSL is in second and is our only other pick in the green. After leading for a while, Paco’s ETSY has fallen into third place. There have been a lot of moves lately, however, so we’ll see what happens over the last three weeks of the contest. For some of us, the end can’t come too soon.

                    Stop the presses and call in the National Guard! We have yet another new leader as the shakeups at the top continue. Unfortunately, the market being the cruel mistress that she is, no one is beating all three indices at this time. Our new leader, Blind Squirrel’s KNSL, however, is at least beating the Dow. Congrats Blind Squirrel! In second, and our only other pick in the green, is last week’s leader, Mr. Market’s TRUP. In third place is another former leader, Paco’s ETSY. There are a few picks that are still within striking distance of the top three, but the rest of us are hopelessly mired in deep red. **Sigh** Oh what could have been. Buckle up guys, we are closing in on the finish line. Only two more weeks so give your picks a kick in the side.

                        PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, December 24, 2021

                        The market will be closed tomorrow so I’m posting the standings a day early this week. One week! That’s all that’s left folk. The standings remain pretty much unchanged this week from last. Blind Squirrel’s KNSL remains in the lead followed by Mr. Market’s TRUP. These remain our only two green positions, but Paco’s ETSY, in third, and Louetta’s SAN are close. If ever there was time for good news for your stock, next week is it. In the meantime, I sincerely hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

                            Yes, Billyjoe, this phrase about sums up 2021. And yes, thankfully today it will all be over. (for stock trading, anyhow)

                                And it is a Friday. We could have a sell off.
