The First Ever Elimination Game!

Interesting idea, not sure about most of these but I certainly know my pick for Female CEO :stethoscope::computer::crown:

I feel like there should also be a meta contest to guess when the winner actually receives their prize - everyone picks a year and whoever is closest wins.

I’m in. Thanks for organising it. I think it’s going to be quite tough!

To double check - we only need to pick 4 stocks right? Not one from each category?

I see where Cameron is going with this . I’m hot on his tails …

Yep that’s right @tubby_rokes 4 stocks from any of the listed categories. I think it will be quite hard, especially given the market is like catching falling knives at times.

Can we choose the same stock in different categories?
How many points will we be starting with?

Good point I’ll add that. Nope 4 different stock and everyone starts the race in 0 points.

Thanks for organising this!

What happens to your points total when you sell your stock?

You keep any points that your ‘sold’ stock accumulated wether that’s positive or negative. You might be in a position where you’re glad to get rid of something that’s dragging you down for the last 2 weeks, or you may have to ‘sell’ a good one.

What is the definition of a tech titan?
Same question for fighting cancer / covid 19, i.e. has (or is working on) a product specifically to fight cancer / covid19 or can that include other diseases, i.e. general health / biotech?

I have decided to use the Freetrade definitions, on the discover tab you can see the categories. Freetrade have still kept all of the European stock on one tab but you can search on the community for a country by country list if you prefer, like this.

I know the great and good from FT read these so -
Please can someone add Julie Sweet from Accenture into the Female CEO list. She only runs a pokey little $200bn consulting company and only made the Fortune’s Most Powerful Women list for 4 years in a row, but I think she could be squeezed in!

If we tie, how about you have the Hoodie …& I get the random cupboard prize ? I’ve a feeling it could be something really special, like a stale tuna sandwich or a share in ARVL :rofl: ( I’m an ARVL investor, this is not investment advice)

You can have over lapping, you could have the same choices. We’d only get in trouble if you did this and then chose to eliminate the same stocks at the same time as each other.
