Taro, there's two dates so what are you "fully" agreeing with? Pick one. I pick the early one, the evening of December 28 before the cutoff time before the opening on the 29th, on the principle that the game ends 2/28 so any monthly kind of thing should not run into another month. Also there are year-end and New Year kind of cross currents that investors might be better off trading ahead of rather than reacting to. The Title of the thread is also, for the future at least, Picks of a quarter, so I guess that one of the next "quarters" will be four months to get on cycle, or Elroy will want to just do 3-month quarters. And I'm not even playing.

The great work you do for us all on this thread being bona fide, I would guess that everybody agrees. Aside from recalculating the holdings on trade days all I do is cut and paste from a spreadsheet, so it aint that much. Lets go with the Wednesday Dec 27th close as the trade day for December. You should get your trade orders in before ~7am on Wednesday morning, and you get the Wednesday Dec 27th closing price. And you aren't supposed to trade any stocks which have meaningful after market (on the 27th) news. And it looks like TEK was up 7.6% yesterday on a BofA upgrade, so ya'll better watch out ('cept for Mindmeld, he has nothing to worry about.....).
