OK, how does this look? Anyone have anything to add or take out? We still need a carrot for the winner.
Gump and Chicken Contest
Rather than argue, here's the contest. Anyone can play. Here are the rules:
1. Pick 5 stocks, (not 1,2,3 or 4) currently trading on the NYSE, ASE, NASDAQ, or OTC BB. Entries due before the market closes tomorrow. Prices are at the close tomorrow, August 3, at 4:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 4:30 p.m., we determine the winner, based on closing prices that day. If your stock is halted on August 3, you get a zero.
2. Long or short; you can short OTC BB stocks for this contest.
3. Participants agree to refrain from antagonistic posts and personal attacks on other participants [aka "flames"] on the OTC BB stock threads during the contest. Flame away on other threads if you wish, but the stock threads are off limits for flames. If a contest participant posts a flame to another participant on a BB stock thread, and any 3 other people agree it is a flame, that person is eliminated from the contest. If there is an argument about this rule, Gump and Chicken override and make the final decision.
4. Factual information, good or bad, posted without rancor, is not a flame. Opinions about a stock, posted without rancor towards another individual, are not flames.
5. Posts which contain negative personal opinions about another participant, sarcasm, satire, witty quips, and the rest of that stuff, are open to judgement as flames.
6. No penalty for spelling and grammar goofs, but retorts with obvious satirical intention may be considered to be flames. |
