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

I think most would be glad to see a weekly update. If they don’t want to see it then I’d tell them not to click the thread link.

I think we all understand you’re doing this out of your free time so make it work for you.

I vote weekly

I’m in the top half at the momemnt so frequent posts are good. Later as I regress to the bottom I’d prefer you post very little and possible delete the thread all together. TIA

Performance results as of close of trading 1/3/19 after the DowJones Index was down 660 points (-2.91%) and the S&P 500 Index closed down 62 points (-2.54%).

For theOG, STNE is still not being updated by MorningStar.com. I manually calculated its YTD performance. (Edit: I just deleted STNE from the MorningStar watch list and then added it back as a new holding and surprise! STNE's YTD performance is now being tracked by MorningStar. YAY! And even better, MorningStar came up with the same YTD % as I did with my manual calculation, +.65%. YAY, again!)

Just like LSU, the first playoff rankings come out and I drop one to fall out of the top 10.

When CELG sale goes thru I will be near bottom most likely.

Sorry about that. I wish there was an easy way to incorporate completed mergers and acquisitions into our rankings.

In 2018 there were 2 or 3 mergers and it was obvious MorningStar didn't include any buyout premium into their YTD performance calculation.

All they did was eliminate the company that got bought from our watch list and I then had to add the surviving company's symbol if it wasn't already one of our existing stocks on the watch list.

If anyone can come up with an automated way of doing it, I'm open to suggestions.

Just realized I put the wrong ticker for one of my picks, hopefully it does well

I'm a champ

I put JD which corresponds with JD.com instead of DE for John Deere.
