TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge for Monday (7/24) (Read this first post for the TSMF Daily Stock Picking Challenge) Congrats to T.B.A. the TSMF Daily Stock Picks Winner for (7/21)! *Link to TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge Thread for (7/21)* On to the next! The TSMF Daily Stock Pick Challenge for (7/24) starts at the opening bell on Monday, June 24th, 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 Monday, July 24th. 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 Monday, July 24th! GLTA.

How does TSMF think the S&P500 will close 7/24? Starting point: **Starting point will be edited into this post after previous close** *Link to Previous Daily Poll Thread* Don't forget to post your vote to be listed in the 2017 Click the button below to view the 2017 Poll Member Voting Record Leaderboard- Results from the last poll (7/21) 2,473.45 2,472.54 -0.04% TSMF Voted N/A. 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.
...and so it officially resumes after a nearly 1-month hiatus! i think these daily threads could be a big driver for us as far as drawing people in to this forum as we go forward ... initially however i am not expecting a great deal of user participation as we are still quite new here with this site ... but i am hoping we can average about 5 participants to start this thing off this week if you guys know of anyone who might be interested to take part in such stock picking challenges definitely be sure to let them in on this and have them know that we've got this thing going on here! gl to all this week and a big time welcome back to the daily challenge
Here is Monday'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! @stock1234 @bigbear0083 @tbw875 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.
