2020 FBG Stock Contest (1 Viewer)

[lod001]

S and P 500 about 40% of way to my estimate since January 1 :trainwreck:

-QG

No chance.

If it can make it down to that level and I can have the will power to sit on the sidelines. I will be retiring early.

So like I said, no chance.

The stock I rode to dead ####### last in last year's contest would have a huge lead this year.

I picked TRIL one year and had a bunch at one time. Bad timing. 

 

[QuizGuy66]

My 10 seconds of research for the stock I picked for this year seems like it may have not been enough

And on the flipside I’m about to go from first to worst.

That’s the way it always goes.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Props to NREC on an even more bearish guess than me.

-QG

And NREC has a +40% stock!

Meanwhile I pick a gold stock that somehow sucks even in a crashing market...

Now 71% of the way there...

(unofficial) 1st place in the S and P 500 part of the contest.  This will be temporary as things continue to crater ever downward.

[QuizGuy66]

Remind me to ask NREC for winning lottery numbers.

It dropped below 2222.22 today for a bit.

 Of course, I could not hold out as well.

Some real winners in this year's contest.

Man, I still think S and P will crater again in time for me but they also may keep propping it too.

Let’s see if Majesco and their pending IBM/MetLife project gets officially launched or at least formally announced this year. MJCO is my pick. Most well-known quasi-competitor would be Guidewire, but in short they are moving the outdated insurance industry to the cloud and also giving solutions to make insurance products more targeted and flexible. Sexy!

S&P 3585

It's up almost 100% since I bought it based on a previous post in the stock thread so I imagine it's up pretty good since you picked it in December?  nice pick by the way.

Thanks. They’re getting bought out and taken private. Looks like the buyers increased the offer today. I’d probably go ahead and sell now.

Hopefully will be after the end of the year.  Hate to see your stock not listed and you come in last place.

  I wouldn't have won in 2018 if that's how it worked

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

I was between two stocks to enter into this years contest.  I picked GOGO ( slammed big time by covid.

The stock I didn’t select:  FSLY

My condolences on your loss.

 

[Andrew74]

This year turned out way better than imagined it would back in March.  @chet looks to have this in the bag, as does @Freak Show.  @GoBirds so far has the SPX prediction, but that could swing.

The 2021 contest is up, so get your picks in.

What prompted you to pick $BHVN?

Interesting, unmet need. I suffered when I was younger.

What drug(s) do they make and for what diseases?  When I would go into the office their coporate office was a block over.  I'd always walk by when going to lunch.

Best known for Nurtec for migraine. They have a Kardashian and Jim Cramer on board. They have a whole 'nother migraine candidate and other drugs for other neurological disorders in the pipeline.

Way better. Didn't have the nerve to look at my pick for along while. Always helpful when the highest S&P pick is too low.

MJCO turned out to be a near double but got bought out so the price was capped. I demand a refund.

You get a Zero.  Next year try to pick a stock that still exists a year latter.

At least if we had another sell off like March, you'd have been protected.
One year that I ran this, I thought about adding the option to "cash out" and lock in your price.

Congrats @chet and @GoBirds.

FBGs crushed the S&P this year.

Thanks for doing this and glad to see I won with a very optimistic prediction and it still exceeded that....a win for all of us!

After this year I need to pay close attention to @chet stock pick for 2021, what a run with CYDY. Thanks again for that one.
