>>As for GZ's involvement in the contest, I think it would be interesting to make the speculative hedge fund running equity his entry in the contest. That would give participants a real world account to compete with, and would keep GZ on his toes. We'll see what he has to say.<< That's an interesting idea... I think the only difference would be that I could not post the real trades in real time for the contest for verification using SI's time stamp, although that's not a problem... I could simply post them after I receive real confirmation from the trading floor itself... great idea...<g> now, entering the long or short contract position is easy, but how would you enter a short put or call? Would you just add that into the equity as they would on the actual account statement? I would think so... We can work that out... sure, why not.... let's do it.... it would be a daily update on the status of the fund... I would think that all the participating partners would also like to have a daily status report via the contest and it would certainly add a great and new dimention to the contest itself..... excellent idea!!!

Contest Participants Notice a new column has been added to the daily standings summary, labeled "R." This stands for restarts, and we'll track the number of restarts each participant has "enjoyed" since the very beginning of the contest on 10/01. Please check the number next to your name and tell me if it is correct. These were my best recollections, and I don't have time to look back through hundreds of posts to get definite numbers. Thank you, David
