OK guys here are my picks


PHK ($30,000)
NUGT ($20,000) (I'm not a gold fan - but I like the ticker for this game)
KO ($25,000)
PFE ($10,000)
CX ($15,000)


I have all of the picks written down along with the opening price on Jan 3rd.
I'll post the spreadsheet with all of the picks within the next day or so.
Going to be a bit more work this time, we have quite a few more people. Good luck all.

You wait until the 4th to post your picks but are using the 3rd's opening price? Well I bet you like NUGT for the game since you with no risk put a 9.4% gain in your bucket due to yesterday's actions and it's up almost 3% premarket today. Lol nothing like playing on the up and up.

It would be next to no work if you used online platforms instead of excel for this and you'd get better interaction throughout the year

Do you really think I sat around yesterday watching tickers and trying to get an advantage in a game that means nothing? NUGT could just as easily have been down 15% yesterday. I've traded it before (for real) and it could end the year at $1.


Since you're not playing in this game, I wonder why you even bothered to chime in at all.

I don't think you would have included NUGT today if it was down 15% yesterday and you were using yesterday's opening price. Why would you post your picks two days after your own stated deadline is just suspect. Why would you attempt to gain an advantage is something meaningless? I have no idea but you clearly backdated your picks. My playing or not is irrelevant to your actions
