TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest for the Week of (8/14-8/18) (Read this first post for the TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest) Congrats to @twerpner the TSMF Weekly Contest Winner for the Week of (8/7-8/11)! *Link to TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest Thread for the Week of (8/7-8/11)* On to the next! The TSMF Weekly Stock Picking Contest for the Week of (8/14-8/18) starts at the opening bell on Monday, August 14th, 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, August 14th. 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, August 14th! GLTA.

baba - long nvda - long also fellas if y'all are on reddit i am running a weekly challenge on the r/stockmarket subreddit for this week. it would be cool if you guys can also post picks in there as well! https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/6t1gvg/rstockmarket_weekly_stock_challenge_814818/ <-- click there for this week's thread. the challenge that i run on reddit requires a rationale for both picks though. i run it a little differently there. oh and lastly i'm trying out a new challenge idea for this upcoming week- see here -> http://stockmarketforums.myvnc.com/...ainstorming-new-challenge-idea.197/#post-1178 i'm not entirely sure how that one is going to work out (yet) but it's basically suppose to work like a portfolio challenge, with everyone starting off with $10,000. it starts tomorrow at the open, and i've set it to run all the way to the end of this year. anyone can join even after the challenge has started though, so if you didn't join before tomorrow you still can. it looks kinda promising. i think it will make it feel like more real world trading than the competitions i run here. anyway, if you guys can also just check that thread out as well and let me know what y'alls think. hoping to get some participants in there too. that challenge is run on marketwatch, so i believe you will need to register a username to join up the challenge that i created there.
@homosap i think you are looking for the weekly contest for this week so just bumping this thread back to the top for ya
AMAT Long - great fav of mine as it has made me money and I am in sync with its rhythms... FL Long - might own this one as I think it has potential.
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! @homosap @Ken34 @Jrich @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.
