drumcat said: "Dumaman gave me this idea, with his game. This one's short and simple. every one picks one stock, priced at the close of the market Dec. 19 one month later Jan. 19 close of the market. the person with the highest % gain wins uuh no uhh mmmm no no mmmm I got it bragging rights."
Rbreb13 said: "Why not close on the 22nd. Picks have to be posted by market open on the 26th. Gives everybody a long weekend to choose. Albeit maybe a really busy weekend for some."
drumcat said: "the 22nd sounds good"
crankitdb711 said: "my pick (since I'm not losing money, it's bragging rights): MA"

do you have to post an entrance price?"
GlennGould said: "Instead of complicating things just post your picks this weekend, at fridays close."
BenHouston said: "You'd need to post the ticker and the opening price...so what day is it today? or next friday?"

Makes a big difference in my pick...actually (if dollar, I'd go with BRK.A lol)."
