Have to be a genius to pick good stocks?

TradingMarkets is sponsoring this year's Playboy stock picking contest! Each girl picked 5 stocks before Jan 1 and the performance will be measured for all of 2006. The winner will be awarded $50,000 for her chosen charity.

So far Miss November 2001, Lindsey Vuolo is leading. She is up 3.44% on the year, beating all the indices, and just behind...ME! Her picks are Bluefly (BFLY), Boyd Gaming (BYD), Google (GOOG), Researh in Motion (RIMM), and XM Satellite Radio (XMSR). Not bad.

So who said you can't have beauty and brains...
