IT'S BEEN 12 HOURS AND STILL NO CHART?!?

you know I had to Simey!

If the last two months are any indication, I expect the first chart about the 24th of the month. The contest really starts in 3 weeks and only runs the last week of the month.

I say do not post a chart until all is said and done, that way, people will close thier positions when they think is best for thier competition, and who ever plays best will win...

chart / standings ...please read...again

August Big Board Contest - Make sure to READ the RULES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* When you make your picks, please make sure there are empty spaces around them, so they come up in the thread search.

Correct: AAPL - Long (Blank space after AAPL)
Incorrect: AAPL- Long (No space after AAPL)

-Pick 2 stocks, either long, short, or one of each

-You cannot duplicate someone's exact play (either of them), use the "Search This Thread" link, which is located in the top right, right above the top most post. It takes 10 seconds to see if the ticker has been mentioned.

-Get your picks in before the bell on Monday, but anytime after that (within the first week) you must quote the post with your picks and then enter in Monday's opening price. This saves me from looking up the opening price for everyone's picks and saves me a couple hours of work.

-The stock/ETF must open at $5 minimum, and no pinks/OTCBB.

-You are only allowed 1 leveraged ETF. If you choose two, the second of the two does not count and is still up for grabs.

-Once you pick something, that's it, it's yours unless it's not a valid pick. This way someone doesn't pick a stock that others want, then at the last second change it. Please don't edit your posts with your picks. If you pick one at a time, just use two separate posts instead of editing your first.

Once again, it is your responsibility to check that your pick isn't a duplicate. The "Search This Thread" link I mentioned makes this as simple as it can be. If you choose to not check and should you duplicate someone's pick, it will not only not count, but you will be ridiculed and laughed at as well.


I will be making the spreadsheet next weekend, so you have til then to tell me what your opening prices were. Any questions, feel free to ask, and if anyone sees someone else messing up, please correct them and make my job a lot easier. Thanks!


Contest Starts at the bell on Monday, August 3rd.

You don't like? I'm up over 3g's in less than 2 days.
