OT My first pick for 2004 is TIVO, we'll see how I do over GeJim's picks, I will write down his first pick which is NIKE
So far in 2003 my picks have all done well including xmsr, imds, aria, siri, apple computers, pixar, halliburton
The way I pick them is simple, don't care about charts and don't get deep into the financials of the company.
I follow one of the strategies employed by Peter Lynch and it seems to have worked wonders. Good Luck.
Of course me mentioning names does not effect the stock in any way just like to go head to head with some of the self professed gurus here, we will see who does better
Remember those so called gurus who are saying IDCC will never reach the hundred level, well they never picked QCOM before the big run, they did not buy MSFT or Home Depot when they went public, so these gurus are only good when it comes to picking up a few points and then trading out of the stock, they are never there for the story stocks and they are never there before the rush occurs. That is why I don't give them any of my attention. Buona Fortuna.
