**OFRicial 2024 Investment Contest** - 5/8 Results

Post by Comrade Renski »

Welcome to the 3rd Annual OFR Investment Contest for 2024. Twenty-two comrades have the rare privilege in participating in the most exciting, suspenseful, investment contest anywhere in the world. :D

Please check The Matrix and The Grid for errors. Mahalo long time.

/////

da fine print...

We'll start off with $10,000 of fake money, no refunds. Youse can pick a stock or two or few. No duplicate picks amongst youse comrades. Unless specified I'll divide the monies evenly if there are multiple picks. Let's keep it easy with just stocks,...nothing fancy. Shorts are okay for 2024, let's go naked, nothing fancy. Dividends / cap gains and the like are the player's responsibility - give me the payout date and amount and I will add it to your total. Only dividends paid in the calendar are eligible. Crypto quotes are recorded 4 pm Eastern. No selling - just run with it to the end, we're not day trading here. If there's a buyout, cash value and/or stock exchange - to be determined on individual basis.
So, for the period between now and December 31st, 11:59:59 Hawaii Paradise Time or reasonable time prior Contest start, post your pick(s) for the best upside. First come, first served if there are duplicates.
Winner(s) will be determined after the market closes on the last trading day of 2024.

*Absolutely no conditionals. You win, you get. Don't like your winnings, then donate.

*Prize donators are responsible for shipping to their respective winner after the contest ends. Plz do not ship to Hawaii for holding.

:razz:

*Since Bitcoin and DOGE trade 24/7, I used their values at the time I constructed The Matrix.


The Grid - This is the only time where everyone is a Winner and a CHAMP! :D

Can you explain why you guys chose the stock? I did mine because the new CEO invested a lot of his own money.

I tried finding a chip stock other than NVDA (Which starts the year around $500) and TSM because of the expected turmoil. Then I thought the turmoil might be good for the stock. Plus they are supposed to open a US factory this year. Marathon is a safe conservative stock to offset the turmoil.
