Investing Section is Now Open
Jul 14th
Announcing the new investing section of Pure Sabermetrics.
I will start building a portfolio of stock picks to see how I can do vs. the current bear market
Rules for this portfolio:
A maximum value of $5,000 can be purchased of a single stock.
Each recommendation will start with a $1,000 investment in the stock. It can be recommended up to 5 times to reach $5,000.
Minimum holding time for a stock is 1 month.
No maximum holding time for a stock.
No technical analysis or any of that junk will be used to time purchases/sales of stock.
I will start off the portfolio in the next few days so I will have time to type up some quick analysis for each of the recommendations.
You will find I am a pretty big fan of commodities. I highly recommend Jim Rogers’ book, Hot Commodities

Only 1 play this week because I was gone, so I won’t do the full record update.
Almost anytime anybody would make a comment on a post, it would hold the post for moderation. That was pretty annoying for both me and you. I believe now it should immediately post unless it detects potential spam.
Also, many of you are utilizing the Post Notification plugin I installed. If you are not, I think you should look into it. I put a lot of work into it and I would love it if it wasn’t in vain. You can select which posts you would like to be notified of, for example only “Picks” or all posts and it will send you an email within 2 min of a post I make so you don’t miss any plays, which is helpful especially if I make late plays. Also, you can discontinue use of the post notification at any time if you find it is not for you.
I know it is really early, but I am working on a Fantasy Basketball page for this website to help you all dominate your fantasy leagues. Also, I am working on an Investment (stocks) page that should launch this next week. Anything to make a buck I guess… I hope you will find these additions useful.
