Rules for Pick of The Year (PoTY) 2023

[BlueWolf]

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks with the market slowly drifting lower then popping higher. There has been some positive movement is several of our picks with the biggest move coming in Louetta’s NVDA, which vaulted into first place after a nice earnings pop. RickFlyBoy continues to hold down second with his winner ZIM, and your humble author is in third with my pick HUBS. The really good news is that we have eight picks in the green. How about that! What a change from last year this time. Let’s hope everything keeps humming. See you next week.

Wow, I finally moved up from last place!

[Louetta]

Oh goodie, I'm winning.

[BlueWolf]

Well, there wasn’t any movement at the top of the leaderboard this week as Louetta (NVDA) remains in 1st, my pick (HUBS) remains in 2nd, and RickFlyBoy (ZIM) remains in third. It was a rough week overall, though, as stocks pulled back across the board. The really bad news, however, was the collapse of SIVB. It remains to be seen what the long term ramifications of this are, but the coming week, at the very least, could be brutal. Hang tough and keep your powder dry.

We had some nice movement this week, especially in Jiesen’s little gem, OMGA, which vaulted into third place after an outstanding week. Louetta’s NVDA remains in first place after a pretty good week itself followed by RickFlyBoy’s solid performer, ZIM. The really good news is that we now have five picks beating the indices, and seven picks overall in the green. Keep up the good work, pickers.

SQ got hammered this week by Hindenburg Research, a short seller.

Welcome to Your Weekly Picker, March 24th edition. We had another rocket ship this week in Tiedyed1’s AUPH as it vaulted into 3rd place with a bullet. Otherwise, the top two remained the same with Louetta’s NVDA in first with an almost 40% gain (wow!) and RickFlyBoy’s ZIM holding down second. We still have six picks in the green with two more hovering around break even. Pretty good picking, pickers. Keep up the good work.
