Investors and FT journalists competing in FT Money’s 2024 stock picking contest face tricky questions when they come to make share price predictions, from the path of inflation to the outcome of the US election.

Astute investors can ferret out good companies in even the most uncertain periods. Why not try your hand at finding those that will profit or lose, by pitting your wits against FT journalists in the next instalment of our annual contest?

And read our review of the 2023 competition

Contestants must choose five listed stocks from anywhere in the world and take either a long or short position — betting that the shares will either rise or fall. The winner is the person who generates the highest overall return on their portfolio. No money is wagered — so the only potential loss is your pride. 

Entries will close at 23:59 GMT on Sunday, January 28, and the contest will be judged on gains and losses made between January 29 and December 31. 

The competition entry form is at FT.com/stockpick2024. If you are a subscriber or a registered user, and you are logged in to FT.com, the link will give you access to the form. If you have not registered, click on the link and register for free to gain access.

Remember, no funds, commodities or trackers are allowed, only individual companies. Ignore currencies and dividends. You can keep track of your performance throughout the year by logging on to your portfolio. Good luck!
