*** CONTEST RESULTS AND LEADERS (as of Saturday, Jan. 12th) ***
The following format is not very pretty, but something I can cut and paste easily every day. I will try to post a cleaner version via Excel that will allow us to see the order of rank every few weeks. However, this format at least allows everyone to quickly scan all results on a daily basis.
For those new to the thread we started our quarterly contest by giving everyone $10,000 of "play money" to pick two stocks, one with a PE, the other with a share value above 25 cents but no PE. They must hold these stocks through the end of the contest. This means that highly speculative stock picks could fluctuate wildly and presented an interesting dilemma for the contestants. The winners receive non-monetary, original photo art from our website at naturescapes-gallery.com.
The next contest beginning in April will allow minimal trading and much more diversification.
LEGEND - Ignore the "2" to the left of the portfolio value. It represent the number of stocks. The other numbers refer to the most recent daily increase or decrease in portfolio value.
