Picking stocks for a charity contest and choosing to buy them for a personal portfolio with real cash are entirely different things…
Agreed; however, I now actually own 4 of the 8 stocks in my charity portfolio: ENTA, CNAT, OCRX, and EGRX. For the three names other than ENTA, I have small positions due to the high-risk nature of the businesses.
I bought EGRX recently (well after the big rise due to the Treanda settlement with Teva) based on a hunch that EGRX will engineer a similar kind of settlement with MDCO on Angiomax (#msg-113377784).
