Hi all! I can use some help. I'll be participating in a published stock-picking contest that will be covered by our local newspaper on an on-going basis in the business section. I have already participated in a prior stock picking contest in which CEO Al Shugart of Seagate participated and put 100% of his phantom money into his own company and won. The rules have changed for this next go-around: 1) at least 3 stocks and no more than 6 stocks chosen for opening portfolio, 2) we begin with $100,000 phantom money, 3) at outset, stocks must trade at least $4, 4) stock prices of opening portfolios is the close of markets Feb 28, and 5) Dec 31, 1998 is final day for the contest.
This is just for fun, but I am thinking at least 1/3 of my opening portfolio should be AAPL. What do you think? Will AAPL pull through for me if I buy Feb 28 and hold until end of contest, Dec 31, 1988? I will be interviewed regarding my reasons for my stock picks, and since the paper is of wide circulation near Silicon Valley, it might be fun to help promote AAPL. I do believe the new notebook and Exponential chip are going to help AAPL in the near future. Anyway, I'd like to hear your ideas, and I'd sure apprecciate any other stock tips that might help me win the contest.
