NEW GAME: If you could only pick one stock for 2023

[CHEEZY17]

We need a stock update. I want to see if I have any money left at all.

Regarding your signature...
Years ago at one of the shops I supervised I became pretty good friends with one of the engineers who happened to be Muslim. I'll tell you he loved him some pepperoni and bacon on his pizza.

CNN is going to have some pissed off investors today. Their front page is showing the DJIA up 154 points. Its actually down nearly 400 points.

i never want to talk about this stock. i bought it at $250 i think. i have bought two stocks based on you knuckleheads. The other was Funko and it tanked right afterward.

I hear you. This stock might possibly the worst investment Ive ever made in my life.

Wrong. You continue to log in and post here.

I bought coin base at $250. 3/4 my money up in smoke, based on a magazine article.

I would argue that those are very good stocks if you are trying to preserve wealth, while steadily growing a portfolio. If one is trying to get quicker, or more growth, different stocks with more volatility may be appropriate. YMMV.

i keep a portion of my portfolio balanced with buffet's top picks all of the time. i should just get some of his berkshire b shares, but they are so freaking expensive. of course, nowdays you can get random amounts of shares, so I should just do that instead. i haven't suffered some of the losses in apple, because i didn't buy much at first since he has such a huge % in that stock. and by buying a little every few months, it worked pretty good catching some of the lows.

I bought a shit ton of Apple during the 2020 Covid dip. Its bounced back quite nicely to the point of now I believe its about 20% of my portfolio.

i have pretty much got mine the way I want it now. The only thing I have yet to buy is Tesla. That fucking stock got so high and since its been dropping, i keep waiting for $200. It won't seem to get there.

Yeah, its a great pick. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out a few months ago that one of my mutual funds has a nice chunk of it.

[Animal]

I know its not going to change the outcome of the winner, but its good for everyone to see where their picks ended up at the end of the year. I need to make adjustments to add in the dividends (if any) for the few stocks that were picked that pay dividends. I will do that before the end of the week, i hope.

There were quite a few good picks though. But, overall if you had just gone with a fund that tracks the S&P you would have had a good year (so far). Fingers crossed that it only goes up before the end of the month. December is usually a good month.

I am posting this in case I can't update between now and the end of the year. Congratulations to 2nd place Hawkfan.

Geist picked what is being called the Stock of the Year. And to think that was his last minute substitution. Well done, Geist. Well done.
