Introduction Compact
The 2016 Stock Picking Contest

As TheSlowLane has passed the torch to me, I will use the theme from the 2015 stock picking contest.

"Hope Springs Eternal"

The 2016 contest is dedicated to that irrepressible optimist in each of us who continues to insist on these contests in complete disregard of the previous outcomes of all such prior initiatives.

Rules
- Picks can be submitted until January 4, 2016.
- Picks must by submitted with full company name and ticker symbol, with exchange e.g. "Chesapeake Gold CKG.V" and posted on this board.
- Picks must trade on TSX, TSX.V or any US exchange
- Picks must be in the mining/energy sectors.
- Picks must not trade under .10 per share at the start of trading in 2016

I am delighted to announce that we have a prize for the 2016 stock-picking contest. The magnanimous donor is First Majestic Silver, and the prize is a beautiful Mayan-themed 5 ounce silver medallion in a leatherette case. First Majestic mines silver in Mexico and sells some of its production as high quality retail bullion online. Check out their Bullion Store here. A big thank you to First Majestic Silver Corp.
