OK, our official pickers so far are you, me, Ed and James. I propose that we put a deadline of next Sunday on the process. Anyone who contributes picks gets an equal vote. I am traveling to the US next weekend but I will collect all the picks on Monday and crunch the numbers for a verdict. Then we can launch the portfolio soon after. It should work if we rank our top pick #20 and our last pick #1. That way, a stock which appears on multiple lists gets more points and the top pick on one list with no support elsewhere won't carry too much weight (as it would if we ranked 1 - 20 and looked for the lowest points). The stocks with the most points make the final cut. But I'm lousy at math, so someone else please suggest a better method if you can. WS, you should have the honor of setting up the "1999's Roaring Twenty" thread with your name in the header, since you did all the hard work for 1998. The person who nominates a stock which makes the final cut should have first call on when to sell (or even go short). We could operate by consensus afterward, i.e. the trade goes through unless a lot of people object. There's a motion on the floor. What say ye, one and all?
