Ok so July is almost here!
The rules are simple.
You pick a stock and start with the closing price on the last day of the previous month. Best percentage wins.
If you wish to change your stock pick, do not edit your reply. Please make a new reply (and send me a PM with your new pick) or your pick will be disqualified.
Stock must be over 5.00 and there is not a maximum price limit.
If the stock you pick falls below the 5.00 mark by the first trading day, you will automatically be in the red until it reaches 5.00 again.
There is no volume restriction.
The winners are announced at the end of the month.
Oh yeah the winner's prize!!
1st Place - 25,000 e$
2nd Place - 10,000 e$
3rd Place - 5,000 e$
This contest will begin on July 5th which is the first trading day for the month of July. You will have until midnight the day before trading starts to enter your pick.
Good Luck!!!
Edit:
Stock symbols must be valid and not have "." symbols in them, just like when using the simulator. Sorry for not being specific on this before.

Sorry, I didn't have time to write much last time I was on.  Earlier this year I sent to the stock market web site and downloaded the holiday schedule for the year. This was done so that I could prevent trades in the simulator from being processed when the market was closed. From that list I see that July 4th (US Independence Day) is a holiday, but the 3rd is not on the list.
It may be a half-day of trading, or a full day, I don't recall. The sim currently doesn't handle half-day trading sessions. I think the Friday after Thanksgiving is also a partial day?
I'll have to research it before the 3rd, obviously. |
