    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.

          I bought SQ today in real life so I'm all in this year's contest.

            I decided not to buy OMGA today, but was considering doing so. I decided it's too risky, and not something I should put real money on. Instead, I bought NOK. This one is safer in the long run, imo. I'm still not changing my pick, though. NOK would not likely win this contest, but it's more likely to make me money in 10-15 years than OMGA. Risky stocks are risky!

                2023 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, Feb 3, 2023

                And they’re off! Welcome all to the 2023 edition of the Mr. Market Pick of the Year contest. After the first week, RickFlyBoy (ZIM) has jumped to an impressive lead. Peanuts (DDD) follows closely in second followed by Minni17 (KLIC) in third. Great work pickers! Keep up the good work and here’s hoping we have a green year after last year’s disaster.

                  Week two is in the books, and despite a bit of a market pull back, many of our picks continue to do quite well. RickFlyBoy (ZIM) still has a lock on first with an impressive 20% gain. Louetta (NVDA) moved into second while Minni17 (KLIC) held on to third. All we can do now is hold our breath while we wait to see if the market has run out of steam or will resume its recent upward movement.

                    2023 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, Feb 17, 2023

                    Hello pickers and welcome back to another edition of whose stock is that! RickFlyBox (ZIM) continues to hold onto first place with a solid performer this week, but in a minor shakeup my very own pick (HUBS) zoomed into second place after a strong earnings report. Minni17 (KLIC) remains in third place with another solid performer. Here’s hoping more picks turn green in the coming weeks.

                        It’s been an interesting couple of weeks with the market slowly drifting lower then popping higher. There has been some positive movement is several of our picks with the biggest move coming in Louetta’s NVDA, which vaulted into first place after a nice earnings pop. RickFlyBoy continues to hold down second with his winner ZIM, and your humble author is in third with my pick HUBS. The really good news is that we have eight picks in the green. How about that! What a change from last year this time. Let’s hope everything keeps humming. See you next week.

                              Well, there wasn’t any movement at the top of the leaderboard this week as Louetta (NVDA) remains in 1st, my pick (HUBS) remains in 2nd, and RickFlyBoy (ZIM) remains in third. It was a rough week overall, though, as stocks pulled back across the board. The really bad news, however, was the collapse of SIVB. It remains to be seen what the long term ramifications of this are, but the coming week, at the very least, could be brutal. Hang tough and keep your powder dry.

                                Well, there wasn’t any movement at the top of the leaderboard this week as Louetta (NVDA) remains in 1st, my pick (HUBS) remains in 2nd, and RickFlyBoy (ZIM) remains in third. It was a rough week overall, though, as stocks pulled back across the board. The really bad news, however, was the collapse of SIVB. It remains to be seen what the long term ramifications of this are, but the coming week, at the very least, could be brutal. Hang tough and keep your powder dry.
