That's the way I read the rules anyway. What does it matter to me, I'm not even in the competition this month, sub-$5 or otherwise.  |
Actually, the rules state that your pick MUST be trading fo no less than $5 or it doesn't qualify. ISPH is trading below $5. According to da rules it doesn't qualify. If it doesn't qualify....how can it be ranked?  I told ya da rules were screwey!  |

Well by the looks of this thread and a couple PM's I got, there is only one person in this village that really has a problem with the way the contest is being run. With that being said, I won't be changing the rule, but will be making a clarification of it. 
Part on! |

Yeah...it's a shame Balljacker didn't play the stock he wanted to cause he didn't unnerstand da stoopidly thought out (and even more thoroughly butchered upon explaination) rules. Looks like he wanted ta play BDCO based on his post taday...but he didn't cause ya confused da crap out of him! Oooooh well, take da rest o'da munth ta figure out what you are doin and maybe do a test post befo hand.....that way we can try n figure out just what to heck you are tawkin bout and there woan be problums next munth.  Maybe ya outta just take a stroll ova yonder to da little dawg track. They gots da best "game inside da game" at this site goin on ova theya! I think you will find that things run alot more smoothly when you have rules that are simple to understand....although I doan expect ya ta make this heeeya game as challenging fo da natives as dat'n. If ya want I kin set you up fo a consultation mit da show runner ova yonder at da little dawg track. You seem a tad overwhelmed by the task at hand ova heeeya so it may be helpful to get some advice from a professional....just lemme know. |

| I would of had a 15.8% gain today had I entered BDCO. I read a $5 minimum entry as "No lower than $5". Anyhow, I would have played BDCO short, taken the 25% gain and walked away. Over a month it may revert back to where I started. |

Hey man, whatever made you think that a rule that states "your pick must be trading above $5" meant you couldn't enter a pick that was trading below $5? Next I bet you are going to tell me that da part that says "if your stock falls below $5 you will show a negative return until it trades above $5" means that the rule even applies to stocks that never traded above $5 right?!! Go ahead....tell me that you don't understand how a stock that never traded above $5 can fall below $5.....jeeeesh! |

Relax and ask mommy for some more allowance or something, lol! |
I can't git mo allowance cause I robbed da change jar n got caught.  I doan know why you jist doan do what I been tellin ya all along which is to jist let yer 1 month old son handle things. You are gonna risk confusing fokes even mo if you handle da "clarification"  Does ya need any clarification bout what ya's sposed ta be clarifyin? Or are ya jist plain confused? |

I agree a stock can lose, like if I got a $10 stock and it went to $4 at the end of the month. So be it. We did not select entry prices, like in the Weekly Challenge. I'm not the one arguing about a stock being trade below $5. You just can enter a stock that is below $5 at the start of the game. Though it has been allowed, for your's and Hendrik's case. But if both of you feel your stock will double by July 31st, then more power to you. We all understand the that if the stock we picked when negative at the end of the month, it's a negative, so why start with a handicap? If that were the case, then any stock would apply. I guess to prevent any penny stocks to be entered, a $5 min should apply. $5 is the floor and you can't start from below the floor. That's how it should have read. So a $4.99 stock is disallowed. Maybe the rules should be more clear.
Why don't you start another game called? July's Under $5, but above $2, Stock Challenge |

So many challenges and games out there I feel dizzy.
When is Grim vs. Vetelmo III? I bet Pay-Per View would pick it up this time, maybe if they do it will clean up some of the threads. |
