I will keep track of all picks both individually and collectively. I will update the standings frequently and announce prizes for monthly, quarterly, and yearly winners!! We will have an index of all of our picks similar the the S&P 500 or Russell 2000. We will call it the Hood Ornament 100 or however many stocks we have in our "portfolio".
