    2024 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, May 17

    I wouldn’t exactly call it a breakout week, but all three indices made new highs this week underscoring the strength of the market. As a result of the upward momentum we now have 10 picks in the green. Woohoo! Way to go, pickers. We did have a little shakeup at the top as Mr. Market’s CLRPF had another upward spurt and moved into 1st place with a whopping 62% gain! Long time leader Molly’s ARM clung to 2nd with a nice 55% gain of its own. Billy Joe’s MNKD climbed into 3rd as there continues to be some jostling going on for the third spot. Market still looks strong as buyers keep jumping in every time there’s a dip, although with a little less enthusiasm of late. I kind of get the feeling that buyers are looking for bargains but are having a hard time finding them with valuations so high. We have a big week coming with NVDA earnings just around the corner. Just gotta see what happens and go with the flow.

      2024 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, May 24

      We had kind of a mixed week, and the leaderboard remained the same with Mr. Market’s CLRPF in first, Molly’s ARM in second, and BillyJoe’s MNKD in third. Overall, our picks are doing pretty well, so kudos all the pickers. As for where we go from here, the NASDAQ and the S&P look pretty strong basing at their highs, but the DOW looks a little wonky. Not sure how this divergence will resolve, but NVDA certainly a positive tone for tech stocks with strong quarter and guidance. Here’s hoping we continue to climb.

        As of today (Monday, 5/2) my DKNG is now firmly in the red. New taxes, I understand, on betting.

          NVDA is only $80 away from putting me at -100%, which is beyond red, and pretty much in black HOLE territory. (i.e. nobody else in the contest has a chance at losing to me once NVDA is beyond that even horizon)

            I welcome the split. Right now I have 1 call option so I'm either all in or all out. Come June 10 I'll at least be able to sell off a part and I will. Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs ...

                  2024 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, May 31

                  It was a bit of a down week in the market, but once again it had no effect on our leaderboard. Mr. Market’s CLRPF, still in 1st place, continued to soar and has now doubled in price since the contest started. Awesome pick. In second, Molly’s ARM still holds down the fort while BillyJoe’s MNKD remains in third. The DOW has really tumbled over the last two weeks, but seemed to bounce back a little on Friday. The NASDAQ and S&P have just sort of been meh. The market is definitely taking a breather right now. We’ll have to see if this true exhaustion or just another pause.

                    We had a slightly up week, but it only had a mixed effect on our picks. There was some minor jostling at the top as Minni17’s HALO nudged MNKD out of third place. Mr. Market’s CLRPF remains firmly entrenched in first, but Molly’s ARM is starting to encroach in second and could be our second pick to double in price. BTW, I adjust the NVDA pick to accommodate the 10:1 split.

                      We had another mixed week in the markets, but there were big changes on the leaderboard. Molly’s ATM became our second pick to double in price and displaced Mr. Market’s CLRPF to reclaim 1st place. CLRPF slipped into 2nd, but is still posting an amazing 110+% gain. Antioch’s TSM climbed into 3rd place after hovering near the top for a long time. The slight divergence between the DOW and the other two main indices still has me concerned, but just because we’re taking a bit of a pause, doesn’t mean the markets won’t push higher. As always, We just have to wait and see.

                          That was such a good pick. I’m kicking myself now for not going the same route and picking a stock that is benefitting from the AI craze.

                            I don't think Mollys pick is going to fade.

                              Yet another meh week in the markets, but we did have a slight shakeup on the leaderboard. Molly’s ARM continues to cling onto 1st place with both arms (see what I did there) with Mr. Market’s CLRPF holding onto second after a little bit of a pullback. BillyJoe’s MNKD vaulted into third, however, after a strong finish to the week. All in all, we still have some pretty good looking picks. Let’s just see where this less than enthusiastic market heads from here.

                                Yet another blah week in the markets, but this time there were no changes on the leader. Molly’s ARM remains in first place. Mr. Market’s CLRPF held onto second, but came awfully close to overtaking ARM after a good week. Billy Joe’s MNKD continued in third with a couple of other picks breathing down its throat. The indices continue to look kind of strong, but they also continue to look a little indecisive. We just have to see.
