Rules for Pick of The Year (PoTY) 2023

[JohnHenry]

NVDA, short please. Go big or go home right.

[JohnHenry]

John Henry, thank you for managing POTY again. Much appreciated!

Please put me down for AUPH, long. (Hoping for a buyout in 2023.)

Thank you and good luck to all.

Oh, you have to thank BlueWolf, too. He's writing the weekly updates.

[Louetta]

Sure. I changed your position to HYFM short and put your dad in with a flat cash position. The only way he can win, however, is if everybody else is in the red at the end of the contest. Perhaps he would like to short one of the indices instead?

How about a treasury? He's guaranteed about 4% then, tho short an index might yield more.

I decided to give in to the bull market. Maybe there will be a huge rally in the second half of the year. Switch my pick onekligen more time; give me Sony please.

[JohnHenry]

One day left to get your picks in for the contest. Come on!

I remember when DDD was the darling of Motley Fool. It was going to revolutionize manufacturing even though at that time all they were producing was plastic soldiers. It was going to be bigger than AAPL, MSFT and all the greats. If you only got in on the ground floor.

Two days left to get your picks in for the contest. Let's get more people to join. The more, the fun the contest.

[JohnHenry]

And now for my next trick... DDD long! Will it be delisted?

HaHaHa as long it's not on the Russian stock.

[JohnHenry]

One thing we should probably make clear is that making a pick after January 30, i.e. converting the cash position to a stock position, will still carry a 20% penalty according to the rules.

That's a good suggestion.

[jiesen]

DDD does look like it's on an upswing right now!

And now for my next trick... DDD long! Will it be delisted?

[BlueWolf]

Can you put my dad in with a cash position and change my pick to HYFM short please. I gave up on the nasdaq rally, so my guess is we head back to the lows and maybe panic from there. My dad is in cash and doesn't want to pick anything. He got angry when I asked him. Is there any way to include him in the contest with his choice?
