SHOP is due to the Amazon partnership. CELH is a beaten down growth stock. Z is a play for lower interest rates and increased home sales. AAOI is a bet on electric infrastructure improvements next year.
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.

First - this is a game, not a thread for investing advice.
Second - the rules are just fine. We can't just let people list 30+ stocks for a diversified portfolio, that would be too difficult to follow.
Third - this isn't "betting" as no money is involved, this is truly FOR FUN and just a way to see how a few hand picked stocks perform for the year. Most of us would never buy stocks on Jan. 1 only to sell them on Dec. 31st anyway.
Fourth - what is "embarrassing" to you? Are you even playing this game? Why does it bother you so much?
What an ODD post - THERE WILL BE NO FUN OF ANY KIND ON THIS BOARD!!!!

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've actually got a better idea than to move this thread, how about if it bothers you or anyone so much just don't play the game and don't open this particular thread. Problem solved.

Wow! For a person that wants to have fun it seems you are stressed out. Relax man.
You don't like my suggestion to incorporate a risk limitation, OK got it. No need to respond further.

Earlier in the year until I believe around mid-year I was towards or at the top of the standings, now I'm at the bottom. The stocks I selected, if I had them in my personal accounts would have been sold when they were up big.
This stock picking game is for fun, for me just something to follow to see how my stocks are doing in comparison to everyone else. If I had $100,000 in real life little of it would be placed in speculative stocks.
Obviously you're trolling, not even involved in the game.
