I'll take Netflix (NFLX). At 126.98 on 12/8/2015 for my reference.

Great shows. More cord-cutters. China.

Per the request, I'm an amateur (a).

ETA: S&P 2,301.64

KMI, because it has just gotten destroyed this year and I'm a sucker for punishment.

ETA: S&P 1825.

my pick was horrible but my S$P prediction wasn't bad (21 pts off as of today)

I'll probably get destroyed again but I think the perceived fall is worse than the reality for OUTR (currently @ $40.99)

S&P - 2189

I have the dilemma once again between shorting losers (which I am good at) or picking long stocks (which I am bad at - if I do this someone should short whatever my selection is)

For now to start I will short SHLD.

I'll probably change this later with a new post.

S&P prediction: 2222.22

Don't the rules say NO shorting this year?

Yeah, sorry QG. But I would like to hear your short, I mean long, idea.

Do they? :kicksrock:

In protest I'll go long on SHLD. Until of course I figure out what other stock to jinx ;)

SWHC - the tenor of the times suggests it could double again this year. Hopefully I will come in last again - if I keep this as my choice I will be actively rooting against it.

S&P remains the same: 2222.22

-QG

 
I'll take FireEye FEYE Now at $21, I bought at $53, then $50, then $30 and then $22.

If it goes below $20 I'll probably buy some more.

S&P 2225

 
Page 1 bump.

I'm double dipping and going IDTI again. Figured I better get my pick in with Mystery Achiever blowing my cover in the 2015 thread. :)

Edit: S&P 500 @ 2235

Now that you're in, another positive:

[SIZE=12pt]Pacific Crest Starts Integrated Device Technology (IDTI) at Overweight[/SIZE]
[SIZE=7.5pt]7:19 AM ET, 12/15/2015 - StreetInsider[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Pacific Crest initiated coverage on Integrated Device Technology (NASDAQ: IDTI) with an Overweight rating and a price target of $32.
Analyst Hans Chung said, "We believe IDTI could continue to outperform the market due to: (1) 3x of SAM expansion driven by new product cycles and the ZMDI acquisition, (2) secular trends and technology leadership in targeted markets, and (3) solid execution that continues to drive impressive margin expansion and FCF improvement, with potential upside to the long-term model."[/SIZE]
