Stock Market Game – Yalicoo
Can you pick 12 winning stocks in one month?

By Yinon Arieli | November 5, 2007

If I had to pick them myself, my answer would probably be no. But, soon enough, you’ll understand how to do it yourself (with a little assistance from octavio...)

octavio, the official winner of our last monthly competition, chose 13 stocks throughout the month. 12 of them became winners, and gained 12.3% towards octavio’s portfolio. Among those winners you can find giants such as Microsoft (MSFT), YAHOO! (YHOO), the familiar Chinese search provider Baidu.com (BIDU), and also smaller ones such as the entertainment software developer GigaMedia Limited (GIGM), the online marketing services company ValueClick, Inc. (VLCK) and others.

As I already mentioned last week, choosing so many winners in one month is no coincidence. In a month during which the indexes are rising sharply, most stocks you choose will gain positive returns. But last month the Dow Jones went down and lost more than 2%. This is what makes octavio’s achievement so impressive.

How to choose the right stocks

Well, you don’t have to be a stock market genius; all you have to do is follow the leaders! Remember, Yalicoo competitions enable you to view every move any other player makes. Furthermore, these moves can be seen almost instantly. This enables you to use winning stocks bought by the leaders from the score board in your own portfolio. octavio was ranked first, but there were several other great traders in this recent monthly game: ixchiquixi gained 10.5%, Trader420 and burntles portfolios yielded 9.5%; and the list goes on…

There are plenty of great stock pickers to copy from. All you have to do is choose the ones you prefer. Then, by adding a few winning stocks of your own, you can beat them and take the lead. It’s that simple!

A new monthly competition has just begun…

In case you haven’t noticed, a new monthly competition has just begun. I don’t need to bother you with the direct link to the competition, since I’m sure you already know how to join. So far, we're only two days into the competition, but the score board already shows a number of leaders you can follow.
