The purpose of this thread is similar to the POTW survivor contest, yet it is much more focused. In the POTW thread, if someone makes a pick that you felt was the best play for that week, you are left picking something else. This thread is to focus what is the overall top pick from the members for the upcoming week. Their will be two separate categories.
The HSM Smart Money Pick of the Week
-This is your pick on what is the smart money on. If you only had $1,000 and could only invest in one pick, which stock would it be. This is not the gamble pick. This is the stock you feel has a really good, legitimate chance of earning you 20% - 50% this week. That’s it. Not shooting for the moon.
The HSM Exploding Pick of the Week.
-This is your gamble/momo/rumor pick. Similar to above, if you had an extra $1,000 that you were willing to take a chance with, what stock do you see Exploding this upcoming week. We have had more than a handful this past week, CYOS, FHAL, PAIV, PAIM…NTCI...etc. What are you going to roll the dice on taking off this upcoming week.
The Rules.
-You can only pick one of each and you must clarify what your pick is. Smart or Exploding.
-If you are already invested in the stock you pick for either Smart or Exploding, you must state this. “example” You are invested in ABCD and feel that is the smart money pick for to gain a solid 20%, say you are already invested. Or I loaded up on ABCD because its going to explode. Granted, this is not for everyone to pump up their own investments. Example- I expressed to a couple board members that I thought NTCI was going to have a huge day today, but as I had flipped shares all week, would not be getting into it, yet I expressed something positive for a stock I was not in. Also, not just putting ABCD smart, DCBA exploding. Every pick must be backed up with a reason.
-You must state WHY you feel the way you do about each pick. Is the stock going to explode because of a PR that just came out. Is it because you feel the chart looks primed for a break out. Is a PR rumored to be coming out or is their rumor of a Merger.
-No Pumping or Bashing. You are free to voice your opinion such as “I disagree, that chart looks more like it is giving off a false buy indicator than signaling a breakout” but no voicing your opinion without something to back it up.
-You must have your pick posted by 9:00pm pst on Sunday nights. That way I will have time to go through and add up every ones picks and post the top three for each category before the bell on Monday.
What do the Winner’s get?
-Nothing. There are no winners since people can have the same pick. The main purpose is to help all the members on the board. Is it to tell anyone where to invest their money? No, not at all. Is it to give people a short list of four or five stocks to do DD on opposed to reading 100’s of different threads? To some degree. We all have our own style of investing. I just think this could help put some focus on different positions for the upcoming week. What you do from there is up to you!
