It is difficult trying to pick stocks for this type of contest.
In my own portfolio (and for long term investors) I believe in diversification.
Since this contest is over such a short time frame, I decided to invest with two thoughts in mind. The first was was in a dividend play and the second was in the shipping sector.

Thomas McCafferty:

For the next phase of this contest, I will follow my previous strategy and hold through the tournament.
Late in the last round I added a small amount of contra funds to use as a hedge.
I will also communicate more with the contest administrators because I have not received credit for all of my dividends.

If you don't mind my asking, you wouldn't happen to be from Pa would you?
