re: FINAL RESULTS: 2019 Top 5 Stock Pick 'em Contest as of 12/31/19 on page 32.

Thanks for the offer, Plano, but it won't be necessary for you to give up LMT.

I just added PearlJam's symbols, which included 3 new companies no one else has picked, into a second watch list on MorningStar, and then did what I described in my post above, doing the exporting of the two watch lists, merging them into one list, sorting, copying and pasting routine, and it looks like the results are correct in the table which I use to post our YTD updated performance on here.

We now have 52 players, compared to 33 players in 2018, and have a total of 104 different companies selected compared to 96 this year.

It takes a few extra steps to make it work but I think we're good for now.


EDIT: I've decided to limit the number of players to 55. I put that as rule #7 in the OP. For 2018 we had 33 players and 95 stocks. I had no idea we would be over 50 players and have 112 stocks picked in less than one week. And we have 18 players, including myself, who still have to pick their stocks. It's starting to get too time consuming for me so I've put the 55 player limit in. As of this post we have 54 players signed up. If anyone gets left out who wanted to participate, my apologies.

A reminder to those who still have to pick your stocks, please make a new post with your 5 stocks when you choose them. Please don't just go back and edit your original 'reservation' post. I'm not going back to all the original place-keeping posts to see if anyone has updated them. Thanks.
