Welcome to the November update in the 2007 Stock Contest.
Conversation #10540 on this forum lists the stock picks of all 55
contestants. Everyone started the year
with $2K in each of five stocks for a portfolio value of $10K. The S&P is
up +4.4% YTD - 30 of our contestants
are ahead of that.
As we head into the last month of the contest, strider (VIP,
CTRP), Boliche (GRMN, NUAN, CHU), and curiousperson (TXT) are atop the leader
board. Both strider and Boliche have
all their picks in positive territory – no small feat considering the
volatility in this market and recent selloff.
Congratulations to everyone, especially our top 3!
Some specifics... Abitibi-Consolidated (ABY) merged with
Bowater (BOW) to form a new company:
ABH. I looked briefly for how
they were handling the shares, but couldn’t find anything. KoalaBear33 and mattwright owned ABY and BOW
- if either of you know the scoop, please let me know so I can post the final
rankings accurately next month. Both
Koala and matt are further down the standings this month as a result of that
missing info.
Hombre Munchkin, you asked about EMU being acquired by
Uranium One. I did catch that one –
check out the August contest update.
Finally, the top 2 gainers for Nov. (WCG and THC) are still down for the
year, -43% and -21% respectively. Thought
that was worth mentioning.
Best wishes as we head into the holidays.
