Diagnose the Dow: End of Week 6

See the latest in our stock-picking competition: which stocks are hot and what the top 10 looks like. And you can still register if you haven't done so yet!

At the end of week 6 there were some major changes to the “Diagnose the Dow” stock contest. Notably, derrickdchan, who was leading by a fairly large margin for the majority of the contest, has been knocked down to second.

JMueksch has almost a $4,000 lead on derrickdchan now, who in turn has a $6,000 lead over the next player. In third, coloradojack is now in prize range, while AlanShotzbarger and tfazmd are also in the hunt.

Three of the participants who were in the top 10 just a week ago, are no longer there. Instead, dtrinh01, bamrph and liveright fill out the top 10.

However, despite three new entrants and some shuffling, mostly the same names continue to show up in the top 10. Think you know better? There are only two weeks left in the contest, so register and make your own picks.
