Hello...HellOOO!... HeLLO-O-O-O-O?
Ok, it's true I like talking to myself, because there are several obvious advantages, but really it's much more fun otherwise.
There must be some way to drum up some action in this thread... Hmm-m-m-m-m.... let's see..... Ok, I've got it. Let's have an investment contest dealing just with ATMI. We each get $100,000; the contest runs from May 18 to May 29. Here are the rules:
1) 3 points (each) for picking the exact Open, High, Low and Close for the one-day action on May 18; 1 point (each) for picking them within 1/8. 2 points for picking the day's Volume within 10%. Maximum number of points for May 18 is therefore 14.
2) Ditto for May 29 action.
3) 5 points (each) for picking the exact High and Low for the 2-week period.
4) Trading: You are allowed one purchase (at the full $100,000) and one sale, both prices posted on this thread before the bell on May 18. If your sell price is never reached, your profit is considered to be $0. 10 points for whoever makes the most profit. No short selling.
5) Whoever scores the most points gets a free ATMI T-shirt, which I will purchase from Dean Hamilton after the annual meeting next week.
Worst case (no one enters save me), I improve my wardrobe. |
