TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest for the Week of (10/2-10/6) (Read this first post for the TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest) Congrats to @anotherdevilsadvocate the TSMF Weekly Contest Winner for the Week of (9/25-9/29)! *Link to TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest Thread for the Week of (9/25-9/29)* On to the next! The TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest for the Week of (10/2-10/6) starts at the opening bell on Monday, October 2nd, 2017. Important - Please read carefully: IF ONE OR MORE OF YOUR PICKS ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE AFTER THE START OF THE CONTEST, YOUR POSITION WILL BE FORFEITED. *When you make your picks, 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 TWO stocks, 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 and BAC - Long first then you can only pick AAPL - Short and BAC - Long or AAPL - Long and BAC - Short <-- you may only duplicate 1 pick but not BOTH! Use the "Search This Thread" link as it only takes a few seconds to see if the ticker has been mentioned. Get your picks in BEFORE the opening bell on Monday, October 2nd. 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 contest. No Indexes or pinks/OTCBB. You are only allowed 1 leveraged ETF. If you choose two, the second of the two does not count and is still up for grabs. If incorrect picks go un-noticed, you risk your position being forfeited. (These are the 2x/3x ETF's) 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 picks. If you pick one at a time, just use two separate posts instead of editing your first. Optional - You may post a rationale (either technical or fundamental) for your picks, 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(s). 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! If you choose to close out one or both of your picks after the trading day is finished (after the closing bell), you will get the next day's opening price. PLEASE POST YOUR OWN OPENING 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 contest starts at the opening bell on Monday, October 2nd! GLTA.

Here is this week's contest 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 this week! @Ken34 @Steven @bigbear0083 NOTE: I am just posting up this week's spreadsheet a little earlier than usual in here as I have a 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 this week's contest 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.
Since participation for our monthly and quarterly stock picking challenges were rather subdued, I am going to accept members picks for an addition 2 days here. As I understand it a few of you were quite busy over this past weekend (myself included ) and I really like to see some participation on these threads especially the monthly and quarterly one's that did not get many posted picks to them. Here are those 2 stock picking challenge threads for those of you who didn't get a chance to post your picks this weekend- TSMF October 2017 Stock Picking Contest <-- click there to post your monthly picks for October! TSMF Q4 2017 Quarterly Stock Picking Contest <-- click there to post your quarterly picks for Q4! Hope you all can get those picks posted!
