New Stock Market Contest

[Elefekt]

I looked back and saw that Jeff said that I should fire up a new thread so I decided why not.

Basically the same as FruitFish's contest except we can start smaller so we can get more interest.

This taken from the other thread and partly edited.

Here's how it works:

Each entry will cost 50 NP$
Limit one choice per contestant
Maximum 10 contestants

Each contestant will choose a NASDAQ or NYSE listed company (no mutual funds, hedge funds, etc.), prior to market opening on Dec. 15. At the end of the week, Dec. 19, the contestant that chose the stock with the highest percentage gain, wins 85% of the pot. I am an avid stock trader and have the programs needed to keep track of the contest. Each day of the contest, I'll update the standings so that everyone has an idea of how well their "investments" are doing. When sending the 50np$, make sure to note your selection for the contest with either the full name of the company or the stock symbol. Thanks and good luck to all!


It will be the same except that entry will cost 50np and the week will be next week. You can sign up until 10pm Sunday Night Hawaii time. This gives most of you extra time.

Dont worry about the pot of np I will not mysteriously dissappear unless I die.

Perhaps we could get resourceful links to NASDAQ or NYSE listed companies, to help some of us out!?
