"Wish we could pick stocks under a buck" Geoff, The reason for restricting picks to over a buck is to stop entrants from picking moon-shots. Seeing how the contest will last for the whole year it would be nice to keep entrants in the game. Although moon-shot picks can be very profitable if you pick the right one, many tend to fizzle as they are news driven. Would hate to see an entrant pick a $.10 stock and watch it drop to a penny on bad news as that would obviously take them out of the game for the year. Regards, Al ps: Should we allow short picks also? Open to suggestions on this and the majority will have the final say on this rule.
