I meant short!
my pick was horrible but my S$P prediction wasn't bad (21 pts off as of today)
I'll probably get destroyed again but I think the perceived fall is worse than the reality for OUTR (currently @ $40.99)
Now it's just Bob.We are way down (-17.27%) but a long way to go. Congrats to the 2 of you that are in the positive as of now.
Andrew note my S&P prediction (made before Christmas). It isn't in the spreadsheet. Right now I think I'm running away with that one. Never thought it would be 2 weeks into the year we'd see those numbers, though.KMI, because it has just gotten destroyed this year and I'm a sucker for punishment.
ETA: S&P 1825.
I still can't get that tracking link to work in the original post.Sand, got your S&P prediction in there.
I added EM as an honorary pick.
Is anyone else having problems?I still can't get that tracking link to work in the original post.Sand, got your S&P prediction in there.

Intertain Beats Across the Board - From Dundee Capital Markets:Intertain Group IT:CN - trades in Canada, should get listing in the US this year. Stock was punished unfairly by a short hit piece that is largely baseless. I expect a sharp rebound here. $9.80 today. Was right at $20 in June. Online Bingo. Flipping cash cow with the old ladies in countries that are nonsensical with their online gaming laws like we are here.
Stock up 19% in a red tape.We are reiterating our BUY recommendation following strong Q4 results that beat increased expectations and the company’s own updated guidance from early January. From our perspective, Intertain’s core businesses are firing on all cylinders. The primary bingo business of JackpotJoy is growing ahead of management’s expectations, hitting 20% Y/Y organic growth, while Mandalay is growing at a more tepid 7%. On the Vera&John side, the company is handily beating expectations and with the more recent quarter posted 45% organic revenue growth. As management put it, there is a significant disconnect between the valuation of the shares and the fundamentals of the business. With the announcement of a strategic review process, we believe that investors should take the view that unless the shares correct to the upside in the near term, the Board will be forced to surface value through other means, either selling off parts of the business or as a whole. Even though there is no guarantee that a transaction will be completed, the backdrop of a strong European gaming sector, ongoing M&A across the industry with an appetite for more, and a strong fundamental story being told through the results should provide investors with sufficient credence that value will be surfaced. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and maintain our $21 target price based on conservative multiples relative to comps
All good, my man. CEO wants to buy all shares at 21 and take this thing private. Hope the board blocks this or pushes the bid higher. Good little company.He can have it if he wants, not a big deal.
Held it while it tanked, waiting to see what happens. Happy to take 21 or more. I ended up picking Telsa so I could leave it for you.All good, my man. CEO wants to buy all shares at 21 and take this thing private. Hope the board blocks this or pushes the bid higher. Good little company.
For once one of my longshot investments is looking decent. I was thinking about buying more during a recent dip but chickened out.Holy ####! CPXX (Celator Pharmaceuticals) up 432% today. SouthJersey takes a huge lead
Correction:South Jersey and CPXX heading for 1000%
What was his pick? Price at 1/1/16?Wow, early congrats to SouthJersey. This has to be the biggest gain we've ever had.
Is a 2017 contest going? (Looked back a few pages)
Same here! 38% ain't shabby. I do actually own my pick this year (CHCT) along with TEVA, which is the one I wanted.FUBAR said:You know it's been a good year when a 42% gain is 5th place.
Wish I had actually bought.
Started off down 21.8%, ends up +54.8%. Good for 3rd place.So the stock I wanted to short (SHLD) started the year at 20.56 and is now 17.14 - down 16.6%. Or better than the stock I went long on.
Then I switch to (SWHC) as a long play based on the craziness that is the American gun-owner at this point.
That stock started the year at 21.98 and ended today at 20.55. Which is down 6.5%. Which actually would be good for 6th place at this point.
Just noticed that Em made a pick before trading opened on the 4th (the first day of trading on the year). For those who want to track Em, his pick was MU. Ended last year at 14.16 and is currently at 11.08. (-21.8%)

I've memorialized it!Googledoc formulas should be pasted over as values now to preserve my shame of a -59% return

Contest still open through Monday, but this is the old thread. I'll let Andrew know in case you don't see this in time to post there before cutoff.I'll take SWHC
ETA. Didn't see the cutoff before midnight. Sorry
