NP$ Stock Market contest II

NP$ Stock Market contest

With the huge success of the first NP$ Stock Market contest, I introduce to you the second competition for week ending 11/01. The rules are the same, but are listed below for anyone who didn't enter last week.

Here's how it works:

Each entry will cost 75 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 Oct. 26. At the end of the week, Nov. 1, 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 75np$, 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!

Current Contestants
1. Gcgirl4ever - Intel (INTC)
2. CoolHost.com - AT&T Corp. (T)
3. RJ - Register.com (RCOM)
4. Subliminal - Advanced PCS (ADVP)
5. Hilljd00 - Infospace (INSP) *pending payment*
6. Elefekt - Verisign (VRSN)
7. Armstrong - RTW Inc (RTWI)
8. smh7233 - Globespan Virata Inc (GSPN)
