December 13, 2012 – Comments (8) | RELATED TICKERS: F , O , X

What up my fellow Fools, hope all are enjoying the beginning of another glorious Festivus season. (Looking forward to the airing of grievences)

Just a reminder that the deadline for picks is 12/31/12, so only 19 shopping days left.

Yes BravoBevo is absolutley killing it with his pick of CWTR (+117.50 stock gain) but it's a looong contest. (ends- 8/17/13). In theory any pick could win including starfireNV's horrible,horrible pick of LODE. Seriously man you finally make a pick and thats your choice...?

Fool disclosure- the creator of this contest HarryCarysGhost (aka- me) owns shares of LODE, and MTGE.

So far the contest has been roaming in the green hat realm (60.34). I'm convinced that is due to my trickery of having most players pick dividend paying stocks. Much like real life the safety net of dividends protects you from wearing the beanie hat. But I think we can do better...think All Star status (already have the avatar picked out)

So please feel free to make your pick, dividend payers are prefered but not mandatory, as always I will monitor all picks for adjustments in start price (related links in comments section)

Lets pump some life into this party-

Cheers.

John, yer killin' me. disclosure? Hey, I think I tried to discourage you from buying that in the first place. Looks like they're moving forward tho. You just might come out whole on LODE if you just sit on it.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Some great skiing here. Ready to head for the Islands soon.

Looks like no TMF fund raiser this year. Will you be opening your tavern anways? I'll stop by. Maybe Troof, the toad killer, will too. Like the old days. Still got your Jukebox? http://caps.fool.com/Blogs/harrycarys-tavern/683189 206 comments

Here's a pick for you- Shinman and the Commish in the Finals w/ Christopher taking my Crown.

Take care man, yer 'ol pal in the Silver State, RZ

I find it entertaining that CWTR is probably the worst company selected, yet it's first by a huge margin. And AAPL is probably the best company selected, yet it's second to last.

Bevo seems to have a sharp, unconventional eye for market dynamics. As usual, I don't understand it but I'm impressed.

Sup Marco,

I started to write a reply, but it got a bit wordy so I'll just send a smoke signal.

Cheers

Isn't that freakin Ironic?
