Chris: might work. Also here's a site you might find interesting

marketplayer.com I've tried their stock screen and looked over their contest(s). Seems like some people participate to win the contest (like all money on one stock - do or die). Which is okay. But there are others who are trying different portfolio strategies that seem interesting.

In spite of my surprise that I found the value stocks here (or the posts anyway) to have worked out very well in six months(I mean very well from my perspective - if you had REAL as a 5-bagger, you might think everybody else's picks were very poor), I still think that value stocks take a long time to work through. They can be dead money for month upon month- and year upon year has been typical in previous decades. (Gee, I never thought ---maybe it's just my picks that are just so slow.-g-. I better think about this some more.)

For me, I would prefer to believe that when people post and say they bought it, they actually bought the darn thing. I've much more assurance that somebody might actually know what he/she is talking about when I can expect that they put their money behind the position. If it becomes a contest or game, for me it adds another level of complexity that I've got to work through - is someone posting just to win? are we seeing all their ideas, just their best ideas, some playmoney ideas, real money buys and real money sells, what?
