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.

theOG, your company STNE does not have a YTD performance % on MorningStar.

Is it because the company went public sometime during this year?

I'll try again.

AAPN is not a recognized stock symbol on MorningStar.com.

Please check it out. Thanks.

So, I'll go ahead and make TDOC to replace AUPH in your list.

Thanks ole Chap

And, you're #55!!

We've maxed out for the number of participants.

I'll be posting an updated chart later today of everyone's stock picks for you to proofread.

ETA2:

Below is an updated list of players and their stock picks. Let me know if you see something wrong. Thanks.

For those of you who have not made your picks yet, please try to get them in before 1/1/19. I don't want to spend all New Year's Day entering stock symbols on an Excel spreadsheet if I can avoid it.

TimeOutdoors: For the third time, look at your pick "AAPN." MorningStar.com does not have it as a valid stock symbol. Please check it out and let me know what you want to do with it.
