Surely first poster in has sole "dibs" on that stock. It would make no sense to have duplicates. It'll be interesting to compare numbers towards the end of the year...

This thread might as well be called speculation central.

My pick is Microvision (MVIS) it is selling at around $ 3.38 as of aroung 1:45 .

[The HG]

Arthrocare (ARTC)

Market Cap of 1.3B, fundamentals are killer, got a fukkin EPS of 1.3, and P/E of 36.5! Killer! Average 3 month volume over 1 million, son.

So what, they got downgraded by BMO because of that shady acquisition? So what! They aren't doing anything illegal, they won't get busted, put your money on people doing shady sh*t who won't get busted, they come out on top in the end.

These guys are running a profit margin over 12%! And an operating margin over 16%!! A 200-day moving average around 53, beta of 1.25, and insiders hold over 17%!!! I could go on and on.

Lock it in, son, I got this one *****.

I guess I should have looked at the rules before jumping in. I billion market cap and the contest doesn't end until the end of the year, so I try Altria (MO). The instructions say the thread is lock on saturday, so is it reasonable to think that is when the value of the stock will be noted for contest purposes?

Ticker: GOOG

[Dark Horse]

INP, mentioned here by yours truly when it traded at 58, is now trading at 116. That's 200% in a matter of months. Retroactive check's in the mail?

For 2008 **** (V) would be the obvious choice, but it's not trading yet, so I guess it's off the radar.

So I'm going with solar: STP (SunTech).
It's not necessarily my first choice, but one with considerable potential to pop.

A couple of my picks are gone. Let's try a former solid stock that is certainly speculative now. Nortel Networks. NT.

[SBR_John]

Ties will split the cash.

The closing price this Friday will be the start point.

Careful on the $1billion market cap.

Lot of good picks here. I own 4 of the 31 mentioned so far but I only got a profit in one. 2007 was bad and the first week of Jan was a horror show.

I agree on **** that will be a great company but probably over priced at the IPO. Then again so was Google.
