Ok all, usual rules. $9k opening amount, but....I’m not as good as you all with the crazy stuff, so let’s go long and short only. Sorry. You have 1.5 days to get your picks in.
I’ll do a silver eagle to the winner as well.
Ready, steady....go!

My Adolph A. Weinman signature
Impressive that even in a short window, 43 participants stumbled away from the holiday festivities and romantic cruises and beer belching football orgies to submit their 2020 entries.
I figured that we might need a follow up, "I would have picked this winner if I had known that their was going to be a contest this year" thread, but with virtually everyone onboard, the numbers talk.
...and a word to the short players. You can never get over a 100% gain with your position. Tesla could go to zero and a guy picking a long forgotten gen tech firm in the heartland can easily do that in a month or two.
L'chaim
damn, day late dollar short.
last one accepted was Overdate....close enough.
Please make sure your picks are correct. Of note, 1mike1, I don't have a symbol for Saudi Aramco 100%, and KindaNewish, 100%bitcoin went in as GBTC. If you aren't happy with that, get me a good tracking source.
Final pieces:
Silver = $17.89
Gold = $1520.38
Platinum = $973.18
Palladium = $1931.34
Nice 7% move in GE to start the year!
