Well done Russian....all of my stocks are in my real portfolio. I wonder if others are in the same category.

---

I don't purchase individual stocks, so no. This pick'em is a great example of why I prefer total market baskets.

I did own 4 of the 5 stocks I picked. I've sold all my SHOP shares for less than 140. Yea, I know. I was hit so hard at the end of last year I was taking profits wherever I could get them. I still haven't fully recovered from it.

Yay, I'm up 13%, but damnit, 41st spot.

You make a good point.

If someone had told me last December (remember the stock market blood bath in December? The S&P500 was DOWN over 250 points, or -9.1%, just in December. ) that I would be up over 20% at the beginning of September I would be doing a .

But here I am stuck exactly in the middle of our 56 players.

I think Roku is currently priced as if they will execute their strategy perfectly. Even then it's a stretch. Their revenues will be $1 billion for 2019, probably $1.5 billion for 2020.

Current market cap? 20 Billion!

I plan on updating the contest results this weekend as of the close of trading tomorrow, Friday the 13th.

Bets on a Louisiana company,gets screwed

Because of the drone bomb attack on Saudi Arabia's oil production??

I doubt that would move the price of oil very much. By Monday SA will probably have it back to near full production.
