Dan, would you be able to group the results if we each pick two stocks? eg. ron picks cmgi and icge. could we show his combined result or would you just show the two separately and we would have to add them together to get the average. also, paul put it up on a web site, which was convenient. food for thought. will be nice to get another z contest going. all lurkers are welcome, invited to come out of the woodwork and share your thoughts. grand prize? paul's oil well, Ron's tuna boat? weekend in NYC with Maria or Joey K, depending on your prefeerence?

Dan, If you'd set up the spread sheet for the contest then I'd be happy to keep it updated, if you'd give me the instructions on how to do it. I looked through a whole pile of disks at the office and can't seem to find the spreadsheet on one. I don't have Esignal but used Yahoo end of day quotes on the last contest. Let me try to remember the way we had the last one set up. I had two separate results on the web page. One result showed how each STOCK was doing and was in order from highest percent gain to most percent lost. The other result was by CONTRIBUTOR (both contributor's % gains were averaged for this), from highest % gain to most % lost. Also in a separate area of the page I averaged all the % change results for a % gain/loss for all the stocks in the contest. We also took the DOW, NAS, and AMEX and showed those % gains and losses from the starting contest date to show % change. The columns across the top or the spreadsheet to the best of my knowledge were: Stock, Jan. 2 Price, Current Price, Contributor Anyone else remember this contest differently? I've slept since then.
