Let's give her a rip, eh!
You pick a stock and start with the closing price on the last day of the previous month. You have the choice of shorting your pick and your percentage in the red counts for the month end standings
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.
You MAY choose a stock that is under 5.00 but you will automatically be in the red until it reaches the 5.00 minimum starting price.
Stock symbols must be valid and not have "." symbols in them, just like when using the simulator. Your pick also must trade between normal trading hours.
The volume must be at least 250,000 avg pr day..
The winners are announced at the end of the month.
The winner's e$ prize!!
1st: 50,000
2nd: 30,000
3rd: 20,000
4th: 15,000
5th: 10,000
Bonus 5,000 for ending in the black, or red if you shorted your pick!
The top five do not get the "in the black" bonus.
If you end up in the top 5 but your pick is still in the red, you do not earn anything. |

Ah! Da Reaper returns. And it couldn't be at a better time with everything deciding to go up. I miss the smell of panic in the morning... and afternoon... and evening. My life is boring without it. |

Also, I find it interesting that Doug Kass (not one for undue optimism) just said that BAC is his favorite long, and AMZN is his favorite short. Why does da Reaper continue to hate BAC? |

Amongst da munyrunners it bees a tossup betwixt BAC n RBS azz da which one o'dem is mo grossly overpriced. Da botha dum gonna make new fisty two week lowz  In da finanshill seckter overall...thisn right cheeeya is THE most overbalued PMI ....it gonna trade to .20 centavos afta it take out yestermadaze 3.08 high. Yer PRS thingy ainna too fer behind az it bees going back ta .30 centavos. The most grossly overbalued stock in da universe is either thisn right cheeeya IFON ...errr thisn right cheeeya DDRX. As a whole...stox is mo grossly overvalued then they wuz in 2007... bafo da BIG salamie...ifn ya kin evun baleave that right theeeya.  I kin sssplain why...but do it really mattah? I didn thinks so. |
