  • No indexes or pinks/OTCBB allowed.
  • Give a brief rationale for both picks.

Thank you. :)

Also just a quick heads up in here but I have just un-pinned our current week's challenge thread to make room for next week's thread, so if any of you guys are looking around for this current week's thread please see the thread link posted below here!-

CLICK HERE FOR THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE THREAD!

You guys will notice that I am getting a super early start to next week's challenge thread. The reason I am putting this thread up today is so it gives everyone an opportunity to see this thread and chime in with their 2 picks before heading off for the weekend. Typically I like to have this thread posted up on Saturday's, but I noticed that not many people submit their picks simply because most people don't check in to Reddit on the weekends. So, to sort of resolve this issue here I will just be posting this thread up on every Thursday or Friday. We will see if this does improve the participation on here.


ONE MORE THING!

Also, I'm just trying out something entirely new & different here at r/StockMarket.

Some of you might already be familiar with this game. It's not really "new" and has been around for a while ... it's just that I've never bothered setting one up, or running it here. In a nutshell this is simply virtual trading in the form of a competition with other traders.

CLICK HERE for a brief description.

All participants will be starting off with $5,000 with commissions rates set at $5.00 per trade.

This was about as real world trading as I could find in the form a contest.

All that you folks will need to do is to register your user handle on MarketWatch.com

It's really pretty quick and easy. Should take you folks no more than a minute or so.

Once you have completed that process you can join up the challenge right here:

CLICK HERE TO JOIN NEXT WEEK'S R/STOCKMARKET PORTFOLIO CHALLENGE!

You simply just need to click on the orange "JOIN NOW!" button on that page to join next week's challenge.

It would be great to get a few of you joining up in our first ever portfolio challenge here at r/StockMarket.

Let me know here once you guys have signed in and joined the game.

GLTA and looking forward to seeing some great picks posted in here from you guys here at r/StockMarket for next week! :)
