AUPH was right at $500mm at the end of 2018. I had it as one of my original submitted picks and changed it at the last minute. The replacement hasn’t done as well to say the least.

If Russian is up for it, then I'm down!

P.S. This thread is why I buy index funds and not individual stocks

You’ve done a great job this year thank you. Hopefully someone smarter than me can pick up the ball from you.

Maybe this year's loser should pick up the duty going into 2020. Might be incentive enough to do better next year. Hang in there Funroe.

I just assumed that how LSURussian got the job in the first place. J/K. Thanks for doing this the past two years. I’ve enjoyed it. Also, learned a bit.

Went from top 5 to start the year to #53. Jeez!

But at a 12.27% return, so not too shabby.

Anyone in this thing grab AXSM? I had been eyeing it for a while and just took a flyer on 100 shares at $23 a little over a month ago. This morning it's trading at $102. Not a bad little 5 week return

I believe it was down at around $2 at some point this year.

Too bad you didn't buy 1000 @ $2. Your timing was off.

Totally. But some is better than none I guess. It was down around $12-$15 for a while and I didn't pull the trigger then either. They've had a couple of real positive clinical trial results back to back while competing drugs have not fared as well.

I hope so, too.

If you or anyone else would like to be the coordinator for 2020, I'll be happy to email my spreadsheet to you. It doesn't take an Excel Phd. to use it but it's probably above a novice level.

I used MorningStar for the YTD returns. All that has to be done is create a watch list portfolio on their website. Or, if the number of stocks exceeds 100, two portfolios must be created because they limit their portfolio size to 100.

Then the two portfolios with the YTD numbers are "exported" to an Excel spreadsheet and then copied and pasted into my spreadsheets "VLookup table."

And whoever does it needs to get on it ASAP if we're going to start by the first trading day of 2020. This year I started this thread on December 11, 2018 to get posters to join the contest.

Is there not like a "fantasy stock" service out there already? A place we can invite TD Members and then have the discussions here?

I don't know of a site that like that which tracks YTD performance.

If you know of a site which does that, please link it.
