Pick Of The Year Contest

[New-born baby]

No

NB,

Will the div be half of that because of the split?

No, my friend. The stock is supposed to pay a divy of $4.30 per share, and the ex-date is 11 Jan 2006. "It's a deal!"

LCAV - short

Wrong thread. Forget LCAV. I meant to post this in POTW.

Doug,
DUH! I thought your pick of the Century was WITS. Man, I am sorry I missed that somewhere. COGT? Oh, yeah, now I remember following that dog for awhile. I think I deleted it off my screen the day it fell $10 per share . . . .

I guess you can say that short term trading beats this buy and hold type of thing--Doug's port proves it.

Have a great 2006!

Here goes nuthin....

Ill pick APLX which Ive owned for a while and is now showing up on BillyJoes cheap 10

I hope we all make so much that we cant figure out who won.

Question. If it gets bought out do we get the $ to reinvest or shares in the purchasing Co. ??

[Gary611]

A slick pick!!

Grease is the word, nyuk-nyuk. I'll take VLO as my pick for 2006!

The pick of the year and the pick of the century are to different animals...check back with me in 2099 and we'll see how I did w/ WITS.

So I pick one of my favorite stocks and a long term "come hell or high water" hold for my real life portfolio. ECOL (Long).... Hopefully it will open down in the morning for a great entry.
