      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?

        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?

            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
            .

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

                  That's a good suggestion.

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

                        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.

                            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.

                              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.

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