I'll go with Alphamin Resources Corp AFMJF - still a big believer in the tin market and think management of this one is doing a great job with their projects.  Need this thing to lift above a dollar and hold there.  If it does and there is a continued shortage of global tin, these guys could really take off.  A potential dividend on a sub-dollar stock is music to my ears so I'll enjoy rooting this one on and think there is little downside.

AFM CN: RECORD PRODUCTION VOLUMES/ Q4 2021 EBITDA GUIDANCE OF US$74m, up 38% from prior quarter.  tin production up 10% from the prior quarter.  tin sales up 13% from the prior quarter.  cash position increases to US$68m.  FY2021 dividend of CAD$0.03 per share declared.

Are you guys even trying?

RENT the runway a Todem homerun pick is down 8%/ today and at a 52 week low.  Just opened a small position.

 

[Andrew74]

I went back 10 years and pulled everyone who placed and also the SPX winner.  I may try to search the threads further back at some point.  We have had 5 people with multiple placing and 8 if you include S&P 500 picks.  By my records @Bonfire has the most places at 3 (two 2nd place and one 3rd place).  Here are the multiple winners in alphabetical order.

@Andrew74: Two 1st place, two S&P 500

@BeTheMatch: Two 2nd place

@Bonfire: Two 2nd place, one 3rd place

@cosjobs: One 3rd place, one S&P 500

@pecorino: Two 3rd place

@Rattle and Hum: Two 2nd place

@stubby: One 3rd place, one S&P 500

@The Man With No Name: One 2nd, one S&P 500

SNII is now RGTI

 

[pecorino]

DYAI  Dyadic International $4.40 close today.

They are making vaccines in pill form and I expect they will partner with BP.

This is trading at $3.70 today. Are you still bullish on them, chet?

Bloomberg article out on this one suggesting Alphamin could be sold soon.  That would be very very nice.

 

[Sand]

I think my pick was an inadvertent sneeze.  I need a do over.

 

[KGB]

Down 16%

Might pull this off 

 

[Andrew74]

The FBG Index is not doing well at all this year. 

 

[Andrew74]

I’m Atlanta Falconing this. 

 

[McBokonon]

I’m Atlanta Falconing this. 

You'll want to go into the sheet and adjust stbugs' AMZN start price to reflect the split. It's doing poorly, but not down 96% poorly.

 

[kevzilla]

I’m Atlanta Falconing this. 

Have a look at AMZN, the 20-1 split is not accounted for. Perhaps lower the start price to $167-ish?

Great minds.

 

[Andrew74]

Thanks guys, I updated the price.

Lol. Does it really matter?

 

[BassNBrew]

Lol. Does it really matter?

Yes.  Down 40% may win this.

 

[McBokonon]

The truth still has to mean something, dammit.

I think I got this corrected (doing it on the phone isn’t very easy).  Thx for letting me know.

Only down 71%\\

so theres a chance

 

[Andrew74]

If I blow this…

 

[pecorino]

In for QDEL. Rumors swirling that they may get bought out in 22. S&P flat on the year, ending at 4800.

QDEL down 40%. The S&P about a thousand points away from 4800. This is why we do not predict the market.

 

[The Big Donkey]

only 1 guy has a winner currently. hope the rest of you can at least get back even.

 

[The Z Machine]

Pretty rough year for FBG stock pickers. Averaging -50% change while SP500 is only down 18%.

 

[Andrew74]

Let’s pick ourselves up and wipe off the crystal ball. I’ll launch the 2023 contest next week.

 

[kevzilla]

Pretty rough year for FBG stock pickers. Averaging -50% change while SP500 is only down 18%.

We take big swings in order to win. In a down market, we take it in the shorts.

Well, this wasn't a pleasant year for us FBGs. The S&P 500 was down 19.44% and the FBG portfolio lost 53.84%. Only two people had positive returns on the year. Unfortunately the tightest competition was for the Eminence Award.

1st place - Andrew74 18.30%
2nd place - @Bonfire 8.66%
3rd place - @Freak Show -4.52%

S&P 500 prediction - @BassNBrew

Eminence Award - @Moonlight -96.77%

It is the 3rd straight 2nd place finish for Bonfire. That's impressive, even if he's becoming the Buffalo Bills of the stock picking contest.
