Ok, I get it. I never looked through the store thoroughly enough to find it. |
You can't buy one, you have to earn it.  Thought I had a shot this month, but I'm getting trounced. Gotta say that in the real world if I had a 25% return in a month I would be supremely happy though.
Note to Vester... if I had two, I would keep 'em both.  |
I know you have to earn it, but I just never knew they were given out.
And if I won, I would never sell it. |

My gamble is that Vester will not cash out, and that his stock(s) will decrease next week. I have a feeling that after the run this month people are going to think about taking some $$ off the table, and I'm betting on a drop for the next few days. Since there's only a few more trading days in Jan I decided to risk it.
Of course all Vester has to do (hope they're not reading this) is to cash out and lock in their gains as well, and hope that nobody else below us has a big run up.
I thought about cashing out earlier in the month but I saw how I managed to catch scootklein when he did the same thing, and decided that it was too far to the end of the month. So I held for a bit longer.
So the second place person is in the clubhouse, with the leader coming down the final holes, hoping for pars or birdies and no bogies.  |

And it wasn't a good gamble, as it seems Vester will run away with this month's competition.  Ah well, it's hard to complain about the return I got, even if it was second place (at least for today). After tomorrow's trading day we'll settle up the score and see what happens next month. |

| I take absolutely zero credit. I picked one stock and let it run. Sometimes you're good, sometimes your lucky, and this time it was just good to be lucky. |
