Good that we let RanRedd into the game. If anything he is at a disadvantage due to market run-up since Jan 1st, and it isn't like we are playing for real money.

I took stockwiz's picks seriously and put a chunk into BYND. Wow! I maybe sold too soon, but I made up all my losses last year and then some in just a week with that one stockwiz indeed.

I had a hard time coming up with pick number 3, but with the plant based craze going on, I think at current price levels BYND might be a good one. TSN would be the safer choice for the contest but who wants to be safe when nothing is at stake? The last time I saw BYND it was stupid high so I forgot about it. Back on my radar screen now. With that said it's market cap is 6X higher than EXPI's on a fraction of the revenues. It still interests me how low EXPI's market cap is is compared to other companies with comparable revenues and sales growth. I can't find a single growth company that comes close. How can I no say no to this?

If someone wanted to potentially beat everyone next year, put 60k BYND, 20k TSN (or some combination) as two of your picks. You stand a better than average chance. Plant based is going big and with the stock market, the prospect for future growth is all that matters when driving hype. It does look like BYND's revenues will easily double the next 4 quarters. If ROKU can sport a $16B market cap with it's sales and sales growth, than BYND has quite a ways upward to go with their sales growth and the fact that all fast food chains seem to be planning plant based burgers.

MTCH owns POF, tinder, match.com, and okcupid... great revenues and I expect them to be able to monetize their userbase going forward, leading to greater profits. I bought this one back down around $35.
Thought I'd bump this based on Beyonds (and StockWiz's) early success.
