25 TOP STOCK PICKS FOR 2007... AND BEYOND

GURUS VIE FOR PORTFOLIO SUPREMACY

This reporter doesn't know much, but he's relatively sure that 5 stock gurus x 5 stock picks each = 25 stocks that you need to know about for the new year. ICLUBcentral prez and financial raconteur Doug Gerlach headlines the expert panel, which also includes Danny Matthews, Mark Robertson, Ralph Seger, and Ellis Traub. Each of these five heavyweights has put together a quintet of stock picks into their own portfolio, and a new pick will be revealed every day in The Classroom with links to the discussions in the specific Stocks-By-Ticker forums. Let the best investor win, as they say.

The five contestants will be around to defend their choices and explain their methodology, so don't hesitate to ask questions, offer your point of view, and stubbornly insist that you know better by commenting and uploading your own stock analyses.

For the full details and the picks so far, visit the contest thread in The Classroom.

IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD,
JUST THE END OF THE TAX YEAR

ACCOUNTING MAVEN PREPARES TO SAVE US ALL

When he's not road-trippin' across the Lower 48, Ira Smilovitz moonlights as a tax genius. He's offered to spend the week of January 15 discussing investment club accounting and tax principles with StockCentral members, and this reporter is thanking his lucky stars (and you would too if your investment club books looked like a refugee camp for mergers and spinoffs).

Ira will post his thoughts and answer your questions starting Monday, January 15 in The Classroom.

"Don't Gamble! Take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it."
