Rules for Pick of The Year (PoTY) 2024

[billyjoe]

I'll go with MNKD long. Can I put in a pick for my son, Jimmy? He studies the market , but is working all the time. I discuss stocks on the phone with him and I'm sure he would come up with an interesting stock I've never heard of.

DKNG long, please.

Thank you for doing this!

This looks like it could fly high this year.

I will pick TSM long for me and a 4.81% bond for my dad.

It’s currently 4.81%, but for the contest it will have to be the closing rate on Friday, which might be slightly different.

[jiesen]

4.8% return is not bad, for risking nothing!

My son, Jimmy W., picks XMTR long. Xometry , based in North Bethesda Md. , has a 1.55 bil. market cap. It custom makes products through casting, molding, machining, printing, and cutting.

Hello pickers. Man, I had a hard time picking this year. I had four candidates that I really liked, but I finally settled on one, MNDY long. Now watch the other 3 take off.

[BlueWolf]

Here are the picks I have so far. If you don’t see your pick there then let me know, and if you haven’t put in your pick yet, then come on and get to picking.

Am I the only one who thinks this is the year to go short? Or did JH's experience last time give you all second thoughts on going short?
