Your picks are duly noted, and of course Molly is welcome. She had a great pick last year.

Thanks. Molly would like to switch to ANET long if its not too much trouble. That will be it, no more changes after that. Thanks.

Put me down for BBAI long, please.

I would like ORCL long, please.

Assuming Molly is again welcome, she would like MGX long.

Thanks from both of us for doing this.

I want to pick BJ as my stock for this year.

The earnings are good, the p/e isn't too high, and the momentum is higher.

You got it.
