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

Just for grins I thought I'd see how the stocks have performed in 2018 YTD through yesterday that have been picked for our 2019 game.

I've set them up as a watch list on MorningStar.com and have customized a report to only show the ticker symbol and YTD total performance. You can see how your stocks have done so far in this year.

Now don't go all full-metal panic if your stock is way down this year and start changing your picks. I might resign as the Stock Pick 'em organizer if that happens.

As we all know, a down year for a stock can mean the next year will be real good for it.

If you notice one of your stocks not showing up on the list, please let me know. That means I've overlooked it in your post or I typed in an incorrect ticker symbol.
