Can I pick the same stock 10 times? Diversification is for pussies.

Ahnuld are you still long Pinterest? I looked into it a few weeks back after your comment on it and I thought it looked pretty good from a fundamentals perspective and took a small position. I don't expect anything to really happen before earnings Jan 31 but the CEO seems good to me/is playing the long game. Afaict his rep of being not growth oriented enough for wall street is overblown.

since we opened the thread pretty late and new years day is a holiday, i suggest we keep this open until the market opens jan 2. obviously you can change your picks too.

You're already disqualified turtletom because you picked TLT and SLV. This is a stock picking contest, even stock ETFs don't count, built in diversification is unfair.
