THIS is the 2025 CEO.CA Stock Picking Contest – where keyboard warriors become legends and basement dwellers become market makers. With three picks, you have the power to rise above and show the world you don’t follow someone else’s playbook—you write your own.

GAME ON! - 3,282 traders just went ALL IN for $10K in prizes. This is the big leagues. 

While everyone else is clocking in at their 9-to-5, these market maniacs are swinging for generational wealth. Winners gets the cash, the crown, and the kind of returns that'll have your family thinking you've got Warren Buffett on speed dial.
