I'm first? Ok. Feeling really good after nailing FCX which was my favorite stock of 2016. This year I'm choosing a health care stock that is beaten to smithereens, ADPT. They traded at over 73 one year ago, now it is about 8 bucks.

As for the S&P, number me among the Trump skeptics and 2017 bears. I'll go full tilt with 1950 by year end. Oof.

 
I am figuring Trumpf starts a full blown war with a major nation or 2, so I am looking defence contractor.

 
My 2016 pick PIRS as usual was a total turd but right now, NREC34 and I have nailed the S&P at 2250 unless the Santa Trump Rally continues thru the end of the year.

For 2017, the S&P touches 2700 or so and finishes at 2625.

My pick is Cemex: CX because Trump is going to build a big concrete wall.

 
VRX

They will do over 10 Billion in revenue with less than a 5 Billion market cap

Weekend bump.  Come on you slackers.

My pick is Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA).  My S&P forecast is 2,540.

 
I got the 2017 tracking spreadsheet up and going.  Link is in the first post.  Please let me know if you have problems access.  Also, everyone check their entry to make sure I didn't screw it up.

:bow:

Just coming in here to choose this one.  Seriously considering initiating a position here.

(Also, :finger:).

I'm going to go with CHCT.  Nice small cap in a good space right now.  S&P 2361.

For similar reasons... and I'll go with a company in some legal trouble right now INSY, Insys Therapeutics

I got really unlucky last year with RLYP for this contest. Just the timing really. It peaked right about New Years. Then the buyout was lower than everyone thought. Made out in real life though...

So my pick this year will be where I rolled 90% of my RLYP money into in real life. 

MZOR. I think it will double at the least. Could be way more if Medtronic goes ahead and buys them.

S&P 2112

 
Going with Seabridge Gold (SA)

Betting on a good year for gold, also imagine the contest will be littered with pharma, tech, and oil, going contrarian.

S&P 1999 (Debbi downer here)

 
OGZPY (Gazprom ADR).

Will have a backup plan if somehow it stays below $5 (it is at $4.90 as I type this).

Stunned it hasn't been taken by Em or one of his comrades already.

S&P 500 prediction: 1166.66

-QG

 
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY) currently 59.61

I think they'll recover from that drop and get back over $75 on it's way to 90

S&P - 2175

Glad I opted to actually buy CARA instead last week, already up 10% wouldn't help here, but a few hundred bucks helps over the holidays. 

 
this is really cool.   I'm horrible at this stuff but want something for 2017.  This is a great start.

Kudos & here's to 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
RCI Hospitality Holdings (RICK)

Strip clubs and breastaurants. What could possibly go wrong?

S&P 2793.65

 
So the prices are set now right since we are past Friday closing?

If so my Gazprom ADR qualifies at 5.01

Please let me know if I am wrong and gotta change my pick.

Yep prices are set and you are good on Gazprom.

Today is the last day for entries.  Let's go everybody.

 
I haven't done this before but I will jump in with Karyopharm Therapeutics (KPTI) currently at $9.40 a share.  They are oncology focused with some promising results for their compounds.  Decent amount of cash on hand and a stock that has had spikes previously.  Lots of recent hedge fund interest in these guys.  I have a decent amount of their stock now and will be buying more next week.
