        Last week I asked the smartest Millennial I know to tell me which AI stock is a good one to buy, and she told me "BBAI to the moon!" so I bought some shares, and wow, look at 'er run!

            2025 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, Feb 7

            And they’re off! Welcome to week one of the 2025 Pick of the Year (PotY) contest, pickers. And boy what a week it was. Here I was cowering in the corner fearing a sharp drop due to the tariff wars, and instead the market was pretty stable. The big news, however, is that we had runner right out of the shoot. Jiesen’s BBAI took off like a rocket and doubled its value in one week. Nice pickin’, Jiesen! Our second place stock, Massimo’s XBOTF, didn’t fair too badly either, amassing a 17% gain. In third place was Antioch’s BJ with a not too shabby 5% gain in just week. There was a whole cluster of stocks behind the top three, with all but two of our picks in the green. Even the two stocks in the red were less than 1% down. Overall, this looks like a good crop of picks. Buckle in, and get ready for the ride. Yeehaw! Don’t you tie one on.

              Holy Molly! I'm in 1st with a double already, and $$MM has the only pick in the red? I feel like we're in Bizzaro world or something. What sorcery is this?

                well, technically, SPY is in the red as well, but hard to call it a true stock pick, since it's also the index...

                  2025 PotY Contest Standings As of Market Close, Feb 14

                  Here we are in week two, and already things are rocking and rolling as another couple of picks rocketed to the upside. Here’s the current leaderboard: Jiesen’s BBAI is still holding a commanding lead in 1st, Jimmy W’s RXRX blasted into 2nd, and Massimo’s XBOTF is not far behind in 3rd. Three stocks with 40%+ gains in two weeks. Not bad, pickers.

                        It's interesting, Molly's dead last with ANET. I almost picked PLTR and it's down almost 25% in just two or so days.

                              I can?t even post the diagnostic message I?m getting. I can only post directly typed in text. The question marks are being substituted for single quotes.
