Stock Market Contest 01.04.02...241531

[Elefekt]

Here's how it works:

Each entry will cost 100 NP$
Limit one choice per contestant
Maximum 15 contestants

Each contestant will choose a NASDAQ or NYSE listed company (no mutual funds, hedge funds, etc.), prior to market opening on Jan 19. At the end of the week 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 100np$, 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!

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.

Nope, I missed getting my stock selection in last night due to an unforeseen event here. Everything is OK, so no worries.
Out of this competition, but will send an extra 200 NP$'s now to add to the overall "kitty" for you folks!
Best of Luck to all and Enjoy the markets this week.
-Jeff
PS. NP$'s en route.

Well, all the stock picks are up for the week to date ... :tu:

... except mine. Again.

 

[Jeff]

Noooo, Apollo!

Hoping for a great last couple days this week ... for some strong finishes here. Little curveball by the Fed today spooked some folks ... it'll get better.
<<< wishes he made the deadline here this week! Grrrr.

:bah:

Next time we will have to have a minimum on the stock prices. Jane is the smart one..

 

[johnn]

Do you mean no "penny" stock?

I agree. You can easily have big gain on these penny stocks.
I had one in mind but was afraid it's not fair (IBZT - 40%+ in 2-3 days)

Yep thats what i mean.

 

[armstrong]

Results, Elefekt?

 

[Elefekt]

Ok Jane won again..NP on its way. The next contest penny stocks will not be allowed. The stock will have to be a minimum week opening price of $10...though i do have to hand it to jane for dominating on this concept well see you guys next contest.

 

[jane118]

thats a good idea not allowing penny stocks

:P:P

anyways how about u set up the contest for next week and i'll take over and u (Elefekt) can play as well..

 

[Jeff]

Congratulations (again), Jane! :tu:

Nice suggestion, too ... that way Elefekt can join the fun.
Want to try for the week of 2/9 - 2/13? :talk:
Thanks.

 

[Elefekt]

That sounds good. Jane you can coordinate the next stock contest. It should be fun.
