I’ve added another 3 stocks to my vote list, plus I’ve put AMAT there, in brackets, seeing as my list already contains 10 stocks, but also for the following reason ….

Based on your posts …

and E_K_S’s recommendation that you referred to …

….. I re-arranged the “ELIMINATION of Stocks” a while back (see (F) (d) (2)) to state that all stocks of 4 votes, or less, would be eliminated at the end of today, Wednesday the 8th.
What was left would be voted on during the coming 7 days (see (2)). And that period of voting would also have the added benefit of voters being able to scrutinize and assess the comments made by the original nominators of their stocks.
And from the 16th. onwards, we would decide on the final list of, say, 15 companies from which would come the final 10 companies.
Based on that there are still 3 companies in the running, viz. AMAT, CL and JOY. There has certainly been support for UNP and JOY (myself included), but theoretically UNP hasn’t received sufficient general votes, and JOY isn’t on your current proposed list.

Now I don’t want be a pain in anyone’s neck, or the odd man out, but I thought the above was worth mentioning.
Needless to say, if I’ve got it wrong then it’s my mistake.

As always I’ll go with the general/overall consensus.
