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)

im not sure but i thought my stock started out the week at 6.00 which would mean iwas up a little. not enough to win but just wanted to point that out.

Here's where I get my stats from:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=GSPN

Your stock opened at 6.3 on Oct. 27. Perhaps you were looking at the stock's closing price on Oct 24 (6.00). But since we all theoretically made our picks just before the week opened, then our 'buy' price should be at the stock's opening price on Oct 27. That is, if we made our selections on Sunday, you can't very well buy your stock at Friday's price, right?

There's only 2 entries left people, and today's the last day to enter! I have yet to receive the entry fee for Hilljd00, so there may be more spots available. Stay tuned for the price list for the stocks enteres so far...

Of course, I have no way to confirm either one way or the other ... but I was going to payout the *winner* here in FruitFish's absence. I'm truly hoping all is OK with him, as well!
Thanks.

i think we should just forget it until he comes back because we are all good NamePro citizens. and we can be patient if the worse happens and he doesnt ever come back then hey we cant hold a grudge. I say we all just sit back and relax and just hope he does show up.

 

[Fusionhost]

I cant relax! not with the fires that were in ca.

Also yeah I did pay the entry fee and more NP$ for my godaddy account.

Hope he is safe

[GCgirl4ever]

*crosses fingers*

Because of FF's extended absense, I will go ahead and call this contest to a close.

Redhippo, your 75NP$ have been refunded as you missed the deadline for entry.

Hilld00, it would appear as if you are the winner, provided you submitted your entry fee to FF before the deadline.

 

[redhippo]

thanks RJ... a very kind and generous moderator. i like Namepros

 

[Elefekt]

lol he is the owner :p
