Nice that Santa Claus finally made it - better late than never
Unless someone objects this will be the final race for 2018.  But the long term 5 stock portfolios will be evaluated after the Monday close.  Please submit your 5 stocks for the next year long contest by 21:00 1/1/19.  Update default picks -or do not have a default pick - or make your default pick your previous week's pick,  Suggest any rule changes.

Agree Blygh! I prefer green to red any day- seeing plenty of that these past few days!
I'll take VIOO- the Vanguard small cap 600- at the FC, stop $123.90- Also is an actual entry today @ $124.--
Thinking is that small caps 600 outperforms the broader indexes to the upside (and down) but are comprised of higher quality companies...
Day 3 markets still rallying higher today!

SD all alone for the win 

[sd]

I'll take CME as my default pick; I'll go with a grouping of Vanguard funds for 4 of 5 picks- Vanguard introduced some "factor" funds this year- so they're an unknown - The "factor" didn't protect them from the big downside this year-
I presently own each of these in my Vanguard Account-just added some- and hope they are seriously oversold- and will find traction in 2019-
VGT- vANGUARD TECH
VIOO - vANGUARD SMALL CAP 600
VFMO -vANGUARD MOMENTUM FUND
VOOG- vANGUARD LARGE CAP GROWTH
CME- FINANCIAL BROKERAGE- SHOWED STRENGTH AND DURABILITY IN 2018
