The WSJ Stock Picking Contest

Don’t you hate it when a financial expert makes a prediction but fails to mention both a time and a number in the same sentence? And then, if he’s wrong, he moves on to the next brilliant idea.

Heard on the Street does things a little differently. Our stock picker competition, now in its sixth year, will run for a full year with our constantly updated wins and losses. During the last three weeks of August, our 15 columnists based in six cities around the world will give you our best ideas in the form of a column in which we lay out our case for or, in the case of a « short » idea , against an action. .
