I think NRT (North Royalty European Trust) will go back up once they start paying dividends again next year.
AMN Healthcare looks like a solid company with a low stock price.
RGR (Ruger) is another solid company that's had a challenging year due to higher costs and decreased demand.
ZIMV is a spinoff that just spun off their spine medical products division, leaving dental. Based on what they sold their spine division for, I think there's a great deal of upside.
I'll play for fun. These are stocks chosen from a screen that looks for high return on invested capital and high earnings yield (low p/e). Joel Greenblatt describes this strategy in The Little Book That Beats the Market.
I've been using that stock screener since it came out. I look for higher quality stuff and buy fewer stocks than the recommended amount. It has, indeed, beaten the market.
Except for a handful of participants, the results were so bad last year from what I saw that I think you have to change the rules. People are throwing in investments like they are betting on a number at the roulette tables. One has better success in Las Vegas. It's embarrassing, people come here for investment advice only to find out the majority of contributors are dramatically underperforming. Betting on something with the highest risk of loss for the small chance of a large return. You guys aren't investors, you are gamblers, very bad gamblers at that.
I wonder if one can rewrite the rules of the game to consider certain risk factor ratings beyond the "no penny stock" rule.
If the results were that bad, wouldn't that tell most people that they're better off in a mutual fund?

I expected that response, although you are getting a bit carried away and I dare say "odd" itself.
Yes have fun and play the game. But you still do it within the boundries of the topic of this forum I would think. This is the investment forum, no? Maybe take it to the gambling forum which I think is under hobbies. There is a list of rules for this game on the very first post, does that also prevent you from having fun? Does the "no penny stock" rule prevent you from having fun?
Simply incorporate a risk volatility rating, maybe a beta, into the rules to limit these "all or nothing" results. It should actually make the game more fun and competitive I would think by leveling the playing field.
I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea. Please let me know when your version is up and running so I can sign up and play.
I am going to change my choices.
