OK, here we go (again). I found TwoSides2aCoin, a way to track 1Mike1's pick, and also added Fox9487 to the list. Yes, we are back to 42 contestants.
Here are the first three rankings for review.

That's a little hard to read, here is the latest update from 03/07.
and here's everyone's 2020 picks from the old thread:
"Interest rates, the price of money, are the most important market. And, perversely, they’re the market that’s most manipulated by the Fed." - Doug Casey
Thanks, derryb!!
Thanks and well done both! 🤘

Ok, so it is 42...middle prize is slot 21.
saudi aramco fell 9% on sunday
Saudis are defying OPEC with lower prices. Brent could get to the $20's. If only we could break up the gold cartel. LOL

Derryb gets flagged 15 yards for piling on!!
Did JNUG split or did it really lose 90% this week?
forced liquidation perhaps

My position change signs are backwards. Ugh.
I hope derryb took his own view with his personal account...that is a helluva increase!!!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
And take the profits now, unlike the calendar year comtest. He still might win, but will volatility stay at fever pitch for another 9 months?

Yes, love the TVIX. Requires constant monitoring. Best part is I don't have to hold (like in the contest), but can sell the highs and buy the dips, and most importantly dump it before (hopefully) it blows up.
Leveraged ETFs can bite just as easy as they can kiss.

no, if so we are in for serious poo poo.

I had to change the column widths because of derryb!!!
I think OPA's numbers are wrong
No, he had 30% of his portfolio in TVIX, and it went from 51 to 607.
oh
i missed that 3rd line
good calls
New forum record by a mile

(hey derryb - wanna adopt me?)
I knew it would happen.
One minor bright point to having your customer shut down for a week (possibly up to 3, if they comply with the state lockdown directive) is that I have more time to document the crazy moves in the markets. Here's the update from today, note the metals prices may be slightly off since the market is open for a few more minutes.
Had to document the largest daily move in the Dow in some 90 years. Prices as of yesterday's close.
Wow
hardly any volatility on the delta.

Hey derryb. Why is TVIX up so significantly? Maybe I'm a terrible googler but what is it about Credit Suisse that's so valuable right now? Are they more than just precious metals?

Has nothing to do with the issuer.

Aha, that makes more sense. Thanks.

I guess I didn't look hard enough to get in on the ride this year. Thought the series ended. Catch you next year.
I'm chasing for the last spot this year apparently...one of my 50/50 picks (pharma company ARMN) dropped hard yesterday after a court ruling. Fortunately I don't have any real money in it...unfortunately I have family that does.
Disclaimer....
"I do not own any of the picks that I listed for this game & never had in the past, except for CLCT, which I sold several years ago."
I like a good horse race, OPA closing slightly on derryb at the start of the back stretch.
MsMorrisine staying in as a dark horse.
Good vicarious entertainment. Thanks, Wingsrule!
I knew it would happen.

Big day in the market with all of the big indices up 6% or more, yet the average portfolio only increased by 1%.
I sure am glad you keep us all updated @Wingsrule !
Another decent day in the market and the metals. The gap at the top continues to dwindle.
Fidelity has halted buy orders for OSTK due to "confusion on upcoming digital dividend". So Joe six pack is locked out untill after the ex-div date this Friday... But you can still sell. I wonder if the shorts who were paying up to $300% fee at times are able to cover through Fidelity presently? Yes Fidelity, the largest institutional owner of OSTK at 9mm shares outstanding.
Feel free to file a complaint with the SEC as I'm sure they would never condone such activity

It's all about what the people want...
It appears that I dropped from 3d to 3d...
Watch out MSM...I'm gonna give u a run for your $$$$
