jam; below is the original post which explains how the Thread & Index's work; each day % increases are posted for the regular (4) Index's & the 'Pix of the week' (POW) Index; Fav's Index % & Comp. % are calculated daily from starting date 1/19/99; a few new stocks are added & deleted every (2) weeks; very few stocks are added or deleted from Fav's Index on a monthly basis; if you have any additional questions after reading the original post - please let me know,,,welcome to the thread; **ALL NEW THREAD VISITORS - PLEASE READ THIS: First of all, welcome to the thread; As a member of SI you may post here and say whatever is on your mind, especially, if the post is in reference to a stock which you truly believe has growth potential; We have (4) INDEX's in the following categories: INDEX #1 ($2 - $6.99):siliconinvestor.com INDEX #2 ($7 & over):siliconinvestor.com INDEX #3 (under $2):siliconinvestor.com Favorite's INDEX (the best of the bunch IMO)siliconinvestor.com Every (2) weeks, I go through all the posts on the thread and try to pick the best stocks with the greatest upward potential; I'll also delete stocks that have not performed up to expectations; Make no mistake about it: I am wrong about many pix & deletions each week, so our policy has always been to relist stocks if they were deleted prematurely. Everyday the INDEX results are posted including percentage gainers and losers of 10% or more; in addition, INDEX links are posted periodically so you can click into the INDEX portfolio's without having to search the thread for a specific post. I strongly suggest you bookmark all the INDEX links as well as the thread itself for easy access. We are very lucky to have an extremely friendly thread with knowledgeable (and quite funny) investors who usually check-in everyday with up-to-the-minute info. on what's hot & what's cooling off. Feel free to send me a private message at anytime if you have any concerns about what's been posted on the thread (or any other matters that may be on your mind). When you recommend a specific stock, it's very helpful if you include links to news, charts, profiles & SEC info., etc.; this is not a requirement, but we all appreciate a good, solid, detailed post offering credible/verifiable info. Your goal here is to have your pix listed on INDEX's 1-3; these are basically testing grounds to see if your pix have ‘legs'; if they run, they'll be upgraded to the Favorite's INDEX which is the end-game & our top-rung on the thread-ladder; if your pick gets there, you should be feeling mighty good. Most important of all...make money, have a good time & meet some genuinely nice members....all the best....sw
