TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge & SPX Sentiment Poll for Wednesday (9/20)

TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge for Wednesday (9/20)
(Read this first post for the TSMF Daily Stock Picking Challenge)

​

Congrats to @fireopal the TSMF Daily Stock Picks Winner for (9/19)!

*Link to TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge Thread for (9/19)*

On to the next! The TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge for (9/20) starts at the opening bell on Wednesday, September 20th, 2017.

Important - Please read carefully: IF YOUR PICK IS OUT OF COMPLIANCE AFTER THE START OF THE CONTEST, YOUR POSITION WILL BE FORFEITED.

*When you make your pick, please make sure there are empty spaces around them, so they come up in the thread search.

Correct: AAPL - Long (Blank space after AAPL)
Incorrect: AAPL- Long (No space after AAPL)

• Pick ONE stock/ETF, either long, short, that trade on the U.S. Stock Exchange.

• You cannot duplicate someone's exact play. For example, if someone picks AAPL - Long, you can only pick AAPL - Short as long as it is not taken yet. Use the "Search This Thread" link as it only takes a few seconds to see if the ticker has been mentioned.

• Get your pick in BEFORE the opening bell on Wednesday, September 20th. I will provide all the opening prices as I have the spreadsheet set to auto look up the opens.

• The stock/ETF must close at $2 minimum the day before the challenge. No Indexes or pinks/OTCBB.

• Once you pick something, that is it, it is yours unless it is not a valid pick. This way someone doesn't pick a stock that others want, then at the last second change it. Please do not edit your posts with your pick. If you need to change your pick and/or the direction, just use two separate posts instead of editing your first.

• You are allowed to pick one leveraged ETF. (These are the 2x/3x ETF's)

• Optional - You may post a rationale (either technical or fundamental) for your pick, but it is not required.

• You may choose to close out your pick at any time during the trading day. Please post your own closing price. We will be using the closing price of the 1 minute intraday chart with the time stamp of your post here on TSMF to get your official intraday closing prices!

Once again, it is your responsibility to check that your pick is not a duplicate. The "Search This Thread" link I mentioned makes this as simple as it can be. If you choose to not check and should you duplicate someone's pick, it will not count!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and if anyone sees someone else messing up, please correct them. Also, please look at your positions after I post the spreadsheets. I try to catch mistakes, in and out of my control, but need your help in making sure the information is accurate.

Remember...the challenge starts at the opening bell on Wednesday, September 20th!

GLTA.

TSMF Voted



TSMF wins the daily poll tally for Tuesday! Credit goes to the FLAT/UP votes!


Post your Vote!



Notes/Guidelines:
1) For purpose of the spreadsheet record flat is currently based on +/-0.25% or less. Of course, everyone can define flat any way they choose.
2) Up, Flat, or Down must be clearly specified in a post in order to be listed in the spreadsheet, otherwise it'll be assumed that post was not intended to be a part of the official record.
3) It's OK to post your vote if you missed the deadline after the poll has expired and if the market has not really moved that much or especially if your late vote is opposite or flat of the S&P futures ATM. It will be up to my discretion and obviously, the more active voters will be given more leeway.
4) Starting and ending points based on official daily ending close of the market.
5) The primary goal of this game is to track our performance. You can consider it a contest or as a personal critiquing tool to better ones performance.

Here is Wednesday's daily challenge spreadsheet in case I'm unable to get around to it later tomorrow-
<-- click there to view!

NOTE: *Ignore the current "opening prices" as those will automatically correct to tomorrow's opening prices after 9:30am eastern time.*

Good luck to all of our participants in here for tomorrow!

@bigbear0083

NOTE: I am just posting up tomorrow's spreadsheet a little earlier than usual in here as I have a pretty busy day ahead of me for tomorrow. I will continue adding members picks up until the 9:30am eastern time opening bell tomorrow morning so don't think you are excluded from tomorrow's challenge if I haven't listed your name up right now. I just wanted to get this spreadsheet posted in here and out of the way so I don't have to worry about getting it up at a later time tomorrow.

 

That is really some kind of incredible run you are on @stock1234 ... I don't think many realize just how difficult it is to do what you've done already IMHO.

It's such an amazing feat that I felt it was worthy to also mention this over on Twitter!

Awesome work @stock1234!
