Among this year's list, only one contestant (Richard Cripps from Legg Mason) is in its fifth year (his pick is Bank of America, BAC). Another two competitors made their respective fourth year: Jean-Marie Eveillard from First Eagle Funds (whose pick is Liberty Media, L) and Thyra Zerhusen from ABN Amro Mid Cap Fund(whose pick is Pearson, PSO).
