It may make it easier, but that don't make it logical, reasonable or fair. I had hoped they would be smart enough to figure out their errors, as the current SI portfolios can't calculate fairly unless a equal dollar amount is used for each stock. Sounds to me like a hanging chad type situation! If SI doesn't have someone that is intelligent enough to run a stock picking contest, then they need to hire someone who can. Or just forget it. Contests are generally handled better without "big brother" getting involved. IMO If they run this contest according to the posted rules, then this will not be a contest, it will be a simple give away. Happy Investing! KZAP
