Such as silly game really. You don't necessarily even get the manager's best stock idea. Just the stock the guy figures will go up, regardless of risk. The stock that will keep him in the game. And the game is at least 25 years old seems to me. Maybe 4-5 new players each year. 100-125 people getting chances to flip coins. Yeah, good chance (maybe 1/3 to 1/2?) that there will be one of 'em who can make 8 correct guesses (8 of 8 is 1/256). Looks like Van Brady. And this year he's got another 50/50 chance. The question is can YOU make money from the game? And keep it? Think a real reasonable sell point is when the contest year concludes? --- that really just ignores any rise or fall during the contest or potential after the contest ends. Who thinks or acts like that. Van Brady himself? 43000 per cent on paper. Sure. Ton of money. That's why Van Brady still works 9-5 for the other Man.

I've followed the recommendations by these players for many years. In my opinion they are equivalent to the recommendations being posted on this thread - if you buy, you gotta be flexible in taking profits - if you get them - maybe 50/50 chance - because these stocks can be risky (market risk) and volatile.
