4 Hot Stocks To Buy In 2009 Competition Update

I entered into a stock picking competition with a number of other bloggers at the beginning of this year.   I picked four small oil-related companies as part of my “swing for the fences” strategy.  So far it has paid off since my portfolio is up over 40% for the year.  In the last stock picks update I was in first place thanks to the surprising strength of oil prices.  Regrettably my performance has dropped off a bit and a couple of my competitors have picked up their socks.  Regardless, I’m still in 3rd so I’m happy with that.
