r/StockMarket Weekly Stock Picking Challenge for the Week of (10/31 - 11/4) is now OPEN for picks! *RATIONALE REQUIRED!*

So I just barely managed to get a thread up for this week's challenge ... but honestly I may not be so fortunate in the following weeks to come ... My schedule is going to be getting hella busy in the weeks ahead unfortunately =/ But at least for this upcoming week we will have the challenge running here! So have at it with your stock picks this week r/StockMarket! ;)

Welcome to the r/StockMarket Weekly Stock Picking Challenge for the Week of (10/31 - 11/4)

PLEASE READ THESE RULES THOROUGHLY BEFORE POSTING UP YOUR PICKS!

SEE RECENT RULE CHANGE #7 AT THE BOTTOM -- RATIONALE NOW A REQUIREMENT!!!

If you want to be eligible to participate in this week's contest here is what you need to do (REQUIRED!):

  • 1.) Post 2 tickers (ex. AAPL = Apple) but YOU MUST pick 2 not just 1 or else I will not add you to our list of contestants!
  • 2.) Choose either Long or Short for each ticker (Obviously LONG - if you think it will go up ... or SHORT - if you think it will go down this week...)
  • 3.) Both of your picks MUST each be at least $2 at the very minimum!

Contest Rules (READ THESE AND FOLLOW THEM!):

  • 1.) No OTC or Foreign companies.
  • 2.) No Options, Futures, Forex, stuff like that... Equities ONLY that trade on the U.S. Stock Exchange!
  • 3.) If you don't post both the ticker AND the direction (LONG/SHORT) you won't be added to the list of contestants for this week's stock picking challenge!
  • 4.) You cannot duplicate someone's exact play! For example- If someone picks AAPL - Long and BAC - Long first then you can only pick AAPL - Short and BAC - Long or AAPL - Long and BAC - Short <-- you may only duplicate 1 pick but not BOTH! This is a first come, first serve basis here.
  • 5.) Picks absolutely MUST be posted in here before the 9:30AM eastern cash market open on Monday morning!
  • 6.) You are only allowed 1 leveraged ETF. If you choose two, the second of the two does not count and is still up for grabs. If incorrect picks go un-noticed, you risk your position being forfeited! (These are the 2x/3x ETF's)
  • 7.) RATIONALE - You MUST post up a rationale (either technical or fundamental) for both of your picks or you will NOT be entered into this week's contest!
  • 8.) Please DO NOT EDIT your picks!! If you absolutely must choose another pick, please use a separate post and state that you are changing your original pick to something else!

I will post up the live contest spreadsheet a little after the market closes on Monday with everyone's picks posted, this will include your opening prices, current prices, P&L, & Total ROI for each of your picks, as well as an overall total ROI and an overall average ROI between 2 of your picks, and that will be what we will use to total up both of your 2 picks!

In addition, since we're doing this contest on Reddit, no one will be able to close out their picks during the trading week... Everyone's picks will close at Friday's close! And also everyone's picks will start at Monday's opening prices.

Good luck to everyone in here! Let's see who can deliver the 2 best picks for this week and take bragging rights as the best stock picker of the week here at r/StockMarket! :)

If you have any questions about anything feel free to fire away on this thread...
