Paul, Had a hard time coming up with two picks since I believe the time frame for the contest will be a sideways to down market. With that in mind I almost told you to put me in cash! However, instead of that I went to the Amex site and found a derivative product that does not appear to flucuate in price much and that will be one of my picks. Wanted to find a warrant or some such animal that would go up in a bear market, but did not see anything. Just so that no one accuses me of not taking a gamble at all.....my other pick will be a long time favorite of mine that has tanked quite nicely as of late. Don't ask about the derivative product, I hardly understand it myself and won't pretend to. My two picks are: Bankers Trust New York Depository Shares BPB (yes, you can get quotes on Yahoo) amex.com Hit Capital Markets Equity Derivative Products and then Other Structured Products to find it, if you care. and..... Rainforest Cafe RAIN. Clinton will resign on Oct 19th. Thanks and good luck to all participants and may I win! -Scott

Basically a rationale as to why you picked these particular stocks.
