That's a strange way they pick the winner of the contest, by drawing a name from a hat. All those who beat the S&P percentage gain get their name in the hat. Result is that the person who increased their money the most may lose by not having their name drawn.

Bruce, ya, there hasn't been a rousing call to invest 29 measly bucks for a new, cooler contest in Round 2. I thought maybe the charity idea or free $44 photo might be an enticement, but looks like we're either going to have no contest or one much like we had in Round 1. I can't improve the second contest with more stocks, trading and other improvements without paying a friend $5 bucks an hour to do the work. There just isn't time for me. We'll talk about this more, I guess next week. PS-- it amazes me how people will risk tens of thousands on dollars on trades and lose a few thousand a month or even a couple hundred a day and think nothing of it, but $29 for charity or a cool photo along with a more fun contest is asking to much, I guess. LOL! No hard feelings at all from this end, but I just find it kind of puzzling. Heck, maybe I'd feel the same way, but still I had hoped for some interest.
