Well, my energy picks are mostly down, shock, LOL. It is kind of interesting to see this now. Surprisingly, despite massive lay-offs (which is why their stock price is holding I am sure) SLB (oilfield services) is hanging in there. Duke and Chevron too. One of Mr. P's biggest clients was a pick and it's holding. I will have show him this.
In our personal portfolio, we bought TSLA-very good planning and NOV. NOV has been very good to us long-term as we've done several sell offs at various highs and buy-ins when it was on sale. We had EOG and DE a while back but sold both and bought ETFs instead.
If we only had a crystal ball. It's fun to look. This is all very interesting, thanks for posting!

My picks did so-so, but I bought HASI based on pennypenny 's suggestion and it's the top performing individual stock in my portfolio. Made almost $1500 off it. :-)
Man, I can't pick them. ZIP car and SRZ appear to have gone for broke.
BUT! YUM brands has gone up--I bought a few shares when we started the challenge, and it's up from $75 to $85. Eat more KFC!
Pom, I"m jealous. I bought tesla at the wrong time, and it's down 18%. But I"m holding on and holding out hope.
I seriously thought about buying Tesla when it was $87 and asked my H if we could invest 5k. He didnt go for it and I've been kicking myself ever since.

Wow, what a blast from the past, lol!
I'm 2 for 4 collectively on my stock picks. I won some $ and lost some $. Penny stocks are not the way to go as it turns out, but I can't seem to stay away from them, even until now.
