I am starting a stock challenge for the month of April. This will be a pilot program and if the pilot goes well, there will be more contests in the future. There will be prizes for the winners. I will participate in this contest to start it off.

The Challenge
Pick a stock that you think will have the most percentage gains from the open price of April 1st to the close price of April 30, 2008. In the case of duplicates, the first person to post will be declared the winner, so it’s best not to pick a stock that was already posted.

The contestant can only pick one stock.
The contestant must have a blog and post the pick on his/her blog and link back to this post.
