Portfolio of the Week

[jiesen]

yeah, I'm pretty much just messing around with GMSV... I'd never really touch that stock, so I'm withdrawing that pick. Probably there should be some limit included in the rules of the game, for instance a company has to have at least a $10M market cap or some such factor to keep extrememly volatile or illiquid stocks from giving a contestant an undeserved victory. I think raising the minimum number of stocks from 1 to say 4 or 5 would be a good idea, too. Winning on a fluke is easy with just 1 or 2 picks...

Jiesen,

We need your picks so crank up your giant computer or whatever you use.


One more new contestant needed by 6pm est. or I'll put my monster picks in and put the hurt on all you guys. They're so huge it takes a 36inch monitor to see them.

You really put the screws on time wise...I usually have not even started my Sunday night DD by 3pm PST.

I'm going to go with these 3 if I can't get the time to beat the deadline:

FRD FFEX GTN

EDIT: I will add AIRT

PS: All are longs

IIC,
Would you mind stepping aside this week so we can get cbenj, a first timer, in the contest? You'll be #1 on the list next week to face the new champ if that's ok with you.

BJ,

How about if you let IIC join in this week if he agrees to track his own picks? I don't think it's nice to exclude anyone who's already posted picks... after all, they're already posted. I don't think that a contestant limit for this needs to be rigidly enforced, since this is just all in good fun, eh?

Geez Billy...I musta been absent the day you you announced a limit on the number of contestants...I'll just take that as a compliment though because AIRT is gonna blow everyone else out.

BTW...My last pick was gonna be RVSN

[billyjoe]

IIC,

This one time, due to popular demand , there will be 6 contestants.
If AIRT does well you'll have bragging rights. I hope everyone feels sorry for me 'cause old billyjoe now has to use 2 sheets of paper instead of one. No changes or new contestants until next week.
I have a feeling this will be a historical stock picking battle, one that will be referred to in future threads.

Paper...who uses paper???

I will donate a prize for this weeks winner...

To the winner - I will personally perform plastic surgery on you so you can have Vulcan ears like mine! I like to call this procedure the "Vulcanearostomy". You will gain new found respect in your community and the chicks will dig you.

Disclaimer: I am not certified as a plastic surgeon, nor to I claim to know what I'm doing, so I am not responsible for any disfigurement or injury during the surgical procedure to alter your ears.

Home surgery

Webs,

Your prize sounds great! I just wish BillyJoe hadn't cut IIC out of the contest. I always figured Mel Gibson needed a new set of ears.

One of my best friends won a Reader's Digest Home Surgery contest when he performed a lobotomy on his late mother-in-law. I showed him your post and he said he'd like to get in contact with you to discuss procedures.

[IIC]

AIRT will gap...problem is finding an entry point

[billyjoe]

IIC,
Opening price is used for contest purposes, sorry. Maybe it will rise all day.
