Ok, lets see, I think we should go by what's in the header, so I'll put digs and jmiller back to where they would be if I didn't allow them a 2nd trade in April. Hopefully it won't affect their portfolios much since it's so early in the round. I should have caught them when they posted, but I usually just execute orders each morning without thinking about whether they are within the bounds of the rules or not. This is the main reason to keep the rules simple, no one is refereeing the match.
As for whether cash constitutes a first pick, I'll say no. As Wyatt points out, letting someone in for cash makes those who are busy get in at the same level as everyone else, and allows them to pick whenever they get around to it.
For this round the first stock selection counts as your first (and only) pick for April.
For next round, I don't mind if we up it to two picks a month. I posted this earlier. Some people thought that made it a rule, it doesn't, it was just my view, which drew little follow on commentary. Things don't become rules unless Taro puts them in the header. This is another cause of some of the occassional confusion, hey, too bad! |
