    Default 2012 Stock Picks Contest

    First of all, just want to say a BIG THANKS to Troyl for organizing this contest last year and for doing all the work keeping track of everyone's picks.

    Last years contest was fun to watch throughout the year so I figured maybe we could do it again.

    Here are the rules:
    1)Pick Three stocks
    2)No Warrants, options, or futures
    3)Must be traded on North American exchanges
    4)Physical commodities can be selected as well
    5)No duplicate picks if one member has selected a stock before you then move on to your next favorite

    Lets say that picks must be entered by January 9th. Cost basis will be as of market close on January 6th.

    I wont have time to do the updates so if Troyl wants to do them again, that would be great, otherwise maybe someone else could step up?

    I'll start.

    AUN.V - Aurcana
    PYN.V - Poynt
    CFW - Calfrac

    AAA:CN
    DEE:CN
    ECA:CN

    I've bought these three with a 5-10 year horizon, will be interesting to see how they perform against some 1 year picks.

    My bets:
    1. REL.V - Reliable Energy
    2. AVR.T - Avion Gold
    3. PM - on NYSE, Phillip Morris International

    **Edited out AW.UN for PM**

    I'm surprised nobody picked anything to do with the housing market; figured we'd have at least one REIT. Shows Canadians are getting worried.

    I don't think Dividends count, at least I'm pretty sure not. Would probably make it too hard to calculate for everyone. I think straight up stock price is what we're going to be keeping track of.

    Hmm, well I've got a few days to rethink a third pick. AW.UN ain't that great if you exclude the dividend.

    The picks seem a lot like last year where a lot of people are choosing venture mining and oil stocks. That's how most people got slaughtered last year.

    It just seems they've lost quite a bit of market share over the past 6-9 years (my estimate)... That and Motorola (which was a pretty good move on splitting into MMI, MSI)
