      Wait, all is not lost. I have 4 stocks in a DRIP retirement account that reinvest divs. Dec. 31. Lower prices mean more shares! Yeah, a silver lining.

          PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, December 31, 2021

          Well, it’s finally hear. The last day of the contest and the year have come and gone, and we have an unofficial winner. Congratulations Blind Squirrel! Not only did you win, but your pick, KNSL, is the only pick both in the green and beating all three indices. That is quite an accomplishment in a year in which most of our picks didn’t fare too well. Soon, you will be receiving your first place prize, an all expenses paid trip to your own living room where you will have front row seats for the Alabama/Georgia FBS college football game on your very own television! Congratulations also to our second and third place finishers, Mr. Market and Louetta respectively. You both did very well in this difficult market. Of course, these are unofficial results and will need to be blessed by contest admin John Henry. Let me end this last contest summary with this:

          Happy New Year!

          May it be a good year for all of us.

                      I think an honorable mention is deserved for Antioch, who, although penalized back into the red territory, did also manage to pick a stock that finished up a bit from his entry point...
