Anyone still like their early picks, or have something new as we approach the midpoint of the year?

[Drifter]

Sbono's starting point seems to be wrong. UCO has never been at $8

 

[Drifter]

On Jan 9 UCO was $41.80, on the 12th it was $37.80

 

[Andrew74]

I'll check it out in the morning. Probably a reverse split; we had that happen once already.

 

[KingPrawn]

IIRC UCO had a 5:1 split about two weeks ago.

This is updated. Anyone here know how to pull prices as of a certain date from Google Finance? I can do it but it pulls the data into 4 cells. This would help adjust prices automatically for splits.

I currently own one of the leaders, wish I had more...

 

[Drifter]

Reverse stock split screwing up the top spot again.

 

[TheAristocrat]

FBGs still crushing it. I think for 2016 I'm going to put some money into these picks. Well, most of them.

I have 50 shares of mine. That's plenty for everyone.

 

[Penguin]

That ZGNX starting price looks wrong, I'm seeing $11.60 on Jan 9th not $1.45

 

[The Man With No Name]

1-8 stock split on July 1

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=ZGNX

January 9th adjusted close was $11.60

 

[Penguin]

Wow, he hit a home run on that

Sorry everybody...totally slacking here. I got the price adjusted. If anyone has an idea how to do the above, let me know.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Interesting that there have already been three entries that underwent reverse splits. Those aren't very common.

And glad to see no bankruptcies so far!

 

[IC FBGCav]

Hard for me to buy something named FOLD

[St. Louis Bob]

Put me down for Wayfair (W: NYSE). Online retailer of home goods, including home furnishings. Went public in October and got tanked by the growing anti-e-tailer "non-profit" climate. Appears to be a better company than their IPO reflects in a sector that has been known to produce some pretty healthy pops.

S&P - 2275

Up 6% today. Are we sure we can't start from the posting date?

Lousy Drifter.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I'll still in the running - gonna catch you penguin!

[Sand]

BTW, methinks that the return calc for Bonfire is wrong. A short has a ceiling of 100% gain.

Shhh...let me have my moment in the sun.

 

[Drifter]

Correct formula for F7 should be

=IF(C7="Long",(E7/D7)-0.1,(D7-E7)/D7)

Drag from there.

 

[Penguin]

You guys have your work cut out for you if you want to catch me in these last two months.

 

[NREC34]

Em has this. They're going to start printing livers any day now.

 

[Johnny Rock]

Can I still get in on this? I forgot this year.

LOL. I always had to adjust the short returns manually when using Google Finance for this. Yahoo calculates correctly.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Errors in the spreadsheet. Looks like it's having trouble picking up the price of SYF.

Kinda pissed I'm now only 3rd worst :(

-QG

 

[QuizGuy66]

Uggggh - now I'm only 7th worst :(

Btw, any word on next year's contest?

-QG

 

[Drifter]

Can we fix the error on the calculation for the short's so we can see the real leader?

:ahem:

 

[TheIronSheik]

I think next year, we should do like golf and put an (a) next to the people who are not professionals at this. I don't think I'll ever pick better than a pro, but I often wonder where I stack up against people as clueless as myself.

 

[Andrew74]

Sorry everyone...I changed jobs and had an interstate move a couple months ago and have really dropped the ball on this. I'll make a note to get in and make some corrections today.

I will be happy to "run" next year's contest if you all will forgive the lapses this year. I work to get that thread going shortly.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Andrew- Didn't realize the new job involved a move. Hope it is working out well for you and family.

Drifter- Have you been following Whitney Tilson's all out attack on Wayfair?
