The Rich get Richer. My girlfriend was beating me by about 6% last week and now is beating me by 8%. This is getting depressing now and I think the emotional aspect of this is really getting to me. Now I’m not sure if I should continue to buy stocks that have economic factors influencing their movement or if I should just try to win the game. With only 1 week left in the game this is it and I think she has won. I might make our 4 stocks an index of sorts and track it even after the game is over just to see what happens. Anyways here are our results and our picks for the last week. I don’t think I’m going to win the game!

Fourth Week Picks:
Me – Buy ATI (Allegheny Technologies Inc) at $40.36
My analysis – I think this metal and basic materials company will do well in an improving global economy.
My GF – Buy TGT (Target Corp) at $40.95
My GF’s analysis – She thinks people enjoy going to the stores more than a crowded Wal-mart and thinks this store will benefit as the economy improves.
