Here's what you need to do:
(1) Pick 5 U.S. stocks (Nasdaq, AMEX, NYSE, OTC:BB only), and post a message to this thread with your picks on or before Jan 31, 2001, 11:59 p.m. EST. Note: Each stock will be a long position only. That means you cant short any stocks!
(2) After market close on Feb. 1, create a public portfolio at siliconinvestor.com with the five stocks you picked.
The name of the portfolio should be the same as your Silicon Investor alias (posting name).
For the "purchase price," make sure to enter the opening price of the stock on Feb. 1. For the "number of shares," enter 100 for each stock. (If any of your stock positions were short positions, then enter the "number of shares as -100).
After you create the portfolio, click on the link to "share it with others". This will make it a public portfolio.
(3) Respond to your original post with the URL (address) of your public portfolio.
Only entries and portfolios that are posted correctly will be counted. Any incorrect postings will result in disqualifications. Public portfolios that are changed after they are posted will be disqualified.
We will publish the top five performers on a daily basis. After market close on Feb. 28 the contest is over, and we will post the winners on this thread. If you're interested in being notified whenever there is an official announcement on this thread, bookmark the following name: "SI_CONTEST". You can check back to read messages at any time by going to your "PeopleMarks".
One last thing. . . if you can think of a good name for the ongoing contest, please post it here. We'll send you a T-shirt if we use it. |
