WeSeed and the Mix Make Beautiful Music

WTMX’s Eric Ferguson is many things to many people: He’s a DJ, of course. Big Chipotle fan. Ummm…. “improving” golfer. Ryan Seacrest devotee.

But one thing no one will ever call him, it seems, is stock-picking genius.

As it turns out, Eric’s efforts in WeSeed are… well, he hasn’t lost money. But he’s not exactly raking it in, as you can see from checking out his Portfolio. As of today, he’s up a total of $49.50. He’s moved some stocks around — today, he owns Cracker Barrel, Callaway, and Vail Resorts. Will that improve his numbers? We’ll see.

Meanwhile, it seems that Kathy is the one with the magic touch when it comes to stocks. She’s up a whopping $529! Her pick of Whole Foods was definitely a winner. People seem to be going greener lately, and she seems to have gotten in at the right time. Her other picks (Lululemon and Coach) are doing well, too — but Whole Foods was the big winner.

As for Melissa, well… she’s down $18.50. But, remember, she’s new to this. So we’ll cut her a little slack. Her picks of Foot Locker, Hershey, and Regis will rebound. Right, Melissa?

Matt Mixes It up with Eric and Kathy

Want to get to know the stock market for the MIX’s Rock & Stock Challenge? It might help to learn from someone who knows what he’s talking about.

And as we hope you know by now, Matt Hulsizer — the co-founder and CEO of PEAK6, WeSeed’s parent company — has been appearing on local radio station WTMX (101.9-FM) every Thursday for the past few weeks to talk stocks.

Matt’s not there to talk about the latest Matchbox 20 news — he’s there to spread the word about WeSeed. And then there’s this: if you sign up for the MIX’s Rock & Stock Challenge, you could win $5,000 for your favorite charity.

Here’s the audio from Matt’s Oct. 1 appearance with Eric and Kathy — the Oct. 8 appearance will be up soon. Listen and learn. (From Matt and Kathy, that is  — maybe you should take a pass on following Eric’s advice. No offense, Eric.)
