    No denying that. Bearcave missed my joke/observation, and then came at me a bit. That is all. Nothing to see, move along.

    Will see some major shakeups this weekend. Derryb is back in play!

  • WingsruleWingsrule Posts: 3,013 ✭✭✭✭

    HUGE volatility as some of the high flyers come back to earth, several intraday moves of 30, 40, even 50%. Crazy.

    Hope y'all are enjoying the holiday weekend in your 'ville. Stay safe.

    Coming down to the final quarter, three of our investors have negative balances! I can hear the margin calls...all are due to shorts that didn't quite play along with the plan.

    Still a very productive year as several are up high double (or triple) digits for the year. Hope your 'real-ville' stock trades were as successful.

    Call it the "Buy and Hold Until Dec. 31" newsletter, but I'd wait until Dec. 31 to make sure you want to publish it. ;)

    Ugh, dethroned by dpoole, I need to pick up a copy of the newsletter and see what I can do to get three green picks (at least I got one really good one)

    It's all about what the people want...

    for those that missed out on PLUG, take a look at GEVO. Glad I bought PLUG several years ago!

    An exciting year to be sure, the largest swings in values, spreads among returns, and rank volatility we've ever seen in the annual investment thread. Looking forward to the next update 😏

    As Baley posted above, some wild swings and huge portfolios compared to past years.

    As 2020 draws to a close, who will run this in 2021?

  • SurfinxHISurfinxHI Posts: 2,465 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes! I continue to improve on my lead!

  • TwoSides2aCoinTwoSides2aCoin Posts: 44,364 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Contrastingly , our current leader is winning with a past pick of mine in a previous years contest. PLUG.
    About time.

    Mine too - he beat me to picking it this year by a few minutes.

    Big drop coming after today's announcement of major dilution. I'm up 700% on PLUG in real life after several years of nothing, so I'm a happy clam.

    You know its a 🤪cRaZy😜 year when you have to triple your money to make the top five, and lose more than 85% to be in the bottom five!

    The last few days Bitcoin has been doing what Bitcoin usually does, acting like a ADHD kid in a bouncyhouse.

    I'm hoping for a podium finish!

    Can @dpoole make it to six figures by year end? Looking good so far!

    I’m providing the top prize this year, no worries! I’ll hand my winnings from last year down!

    Someone else was doing last place, and a third was doing middle, if I remember correctly.

  • WingsruleWingsrule Posts: 3,013 ✭✭✭✭

    I have awarded an ASE for last place for several years running....
