Jon:

don't you analyze how well you have done in a year by looking at your starting monies and looking at your ending monies and then figure out your (hopefully)gain?

I agree no one would buy 100 shares of a penny stock, but that is not really relevant. Depending on the dollar value of stocks you chose, of course determines the starting value of your portfolio. Maybe that is not so far from the real world as you think. Some people have $5000 portfolios and some people have $50,000 portfolios. And what is important is how much they increase their portfolio from where they started.

JMHO

Anybody here ever buy a stock that you can't sell for one month? Get real, contests are unrealistic by nature. There is a trade off between realism and complexity/convenience. Ya'll quit whinning. Tim
