    Thanks so much for your willingness to run the contest again in 2015, Wingsrule!

    Please put my $9,000 to work as follows:

    $4,500 in shares of ARIA
    $4,500 in shares of LINE

    One of these years I'll get lucky and make it into the top ten.

    Happy New Year to all!

    I can think of a few dozen off the top of my head that $9K wouldn't even make a downpayment on.

    But… with that said, I would still agree 100%

    Man, I missed the deadline! If there's any way I could participate again, I'd love it- I frequently talked to my wife about it, and it really made her open her eyes and ears more.

    So, if I can sneak in, I'd like to split equally

    This is actually a nice learning experience for me. I have not heard of some of these companies or funds and it is fascinating to see how volatile some are.
  • Options


    << <i>1/4 cvs health (cvs)
    1/4 discover financial services (dfs)
    1/4 northrop grumman (noc)
    1/4 vanguard reit index fund reit shares (vnq)

    I am playing the trend of continuing growth in healthcare, banks/consumer finance improving with rising interest rates, an uptick in defense spending due to the recent elections, and I am sticking with what works in real estate, along with the dividends-which are being added to our YTD gains, no? >>



    Please reinvest my dividends as part of the contest...cvs pays a dividend on 2/2 dfs pays on 2/20 vnq will pay 3/29 noc on 3/17...add em up to the 9,000 start

    My tactic this year is to start near the bottom, you know, give everyone a chance and then slowly move back up to the top.

    Huge moves in the first 10 days of the new year. And for the mathematically challenged, exactly 50% of the contestants are making money so far.

    And who woulda thunk that Silver would be the top performing metal so far?

    Oil is going to be interesting to watch.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Got quoins?

    Thought for sure I'd be much lower.

    Thanks for doing this. Just fun to watch.
    Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all. image
