Discuss your stock picks and trading strategy with other competition participants.

I couldn't find a forum on CNBC for trading discusssion...
and wallstreetsurvivor.com doesn't want us to use theirs...

So I guess this is the place :>

With the limited number of stocks available to trade in the game and no day trading or shorting, I've split my portfolios by the way I picked them.

Dead Cats - Stocks that took a huge hit recently but still look good

Kites - Stocks that have doubled or tripled in the last 3 months

Lows - Stocks that recently hit 52 week lows

Highs - Stocks that recently hit 52 week highs

Day Trades - Stocks I think will move up on news but not hold long

Amazingly I have no crossover. I'm only playing 4 stocks in each portfolio.

Good Luck to all!

Stay away from stocks unless you're shorting them, they have one direction to go right now, kinda like the USD. Best of luck in that market probably have better odds in Vegas.

Not the time to look at equities. I am having bad dreams when i think where i was 6 months ago with my portfolio. I am 34.5% under water and believe me all big cap, 90% of them S&P 500.
