Stock picking contest

[Jeff C]

do you know how to count? you know add and subtract

hahahahahaha, you're right.......... $2.09

 

[milehighassassin]

I would have picked

BAC - Bank of America
WFC - Wells Fargo

Both stocks jumped late last week, are a bit down today but still ahead from where they were this time last week. WaMu would be a interesting stock if it gets baught up.

AIG was the buy of the year on the 12th. Was at 1.15 per share at closing, jumped to 5+ within opening Monday.

I would be afraid of ANY bank right now.

If you have the patience you can make some money, but you can do a lot better in other investments.

Hookers and blow!

Start a escort service and rent them out. Buy a bunch of coke and sell.

lehmq started 0.2151 - closed today at 0.2975. If my math is right $10k invested Monday is worth $13830.77 today. How did everybody else do?

BLG... Down $3333

Mafesto:

I lost $260 from my investments this week. Not good, but seeing all the confusion on Wall Street, I bet I did pretty good looking at some of the other investments people chose...............

 

[ArcticBoy]

In all honesty I would avoid most stocks right now, the market is horrible.

There are much better investments.

For instance..........

I bought into FNM & FRE which is Fanny Mae/Freddy Mac a few days back. I've been watching it like a hawk. I'm banking on the bail out to happen or I could be screwed. When the crooks in congress get close to a deal, market goes up, once delays hit, it goes down. It's an amazing thing to watch, even more amazing when you have 26K sitting in there like I do. I know I'm half nuts, but my motto has always been no risk, no gain. Right now I'm up roughly 30cents a share and I'm hoping for at least another 50cent spike upon some kind of a deal happening over the weekend. If we get a deal, stocks will surge big time Monday, if no deal I feel it's going to be ugly. This is like rolling the dice in Vegas.

 

[formula600]

I pick BK (Bank of New York Mellon) last trade was $35.70. Probably a big mistake.

I'm up for the week with $36.38at the close Friday.
