We had a great competition last year, some good entries, will fish up that thread and see how everyone did.

For this year, pick ONE stock you either like long or short, post the stock and the price at the time of the post. Deadline is Jan 2, 2009 by market close.

A change this year, you can either sell the position OR buy to cover at any time during the year via posting in the thread, but you only get one play for the year.

Winner of the contest will receive a gift related item in December 2009 from me.

Buying Weyerhaeuser (WY) on the open tomorrow.......

Rat,

I was considering IGT or CRYP or any of the casino operators.

There are so many names to choose from it is tough to narrow down to one play.

I think Ive made my choice though-

DPTR at 4.60

I doubt that it will do as well as my EFUT short last year though.

Rat,

FRPT has been a steady mover since that bottom put in, and I still think the stock is undervalued by a long shot.

My EFUT short was over 30, not at this level.

DPTR also is majority owned by Tracinda Investments.

I'll pick Lighting Science Group (LSCG.OB) at $0.37

Where is the 2008 thread?  Be interesting to see.

FIG 1.00

DRYS 12.60 

Lets extend this until friday of next week, that seems reasonable and I would like more involvement.

wallstreet. I agree, good call

Glad to see this extended.I have been too damn busy (re reading as is my yearly wont the classic econ books, and really enjoying the Reminiscences more this year than ever)..

 If there were such a thing, I would buy a put on the American Empire. But, there is no such thing that I know of.

Depeche,
