I see no need to change the rules. They work for me, LOL. I just appreciate the time and effort you put into this. It's a nice way to find out about other people's thinking and I check out many of the other stocks picked. The one pick a month idea is excellent as I find it difficult to make money day trading given the huge commissions we have to pay up here. In a way, we're lucky to have to pay such a big price to play the game. Makes you think about which issues to go into more seriously. I was lucky this year to be in the right sectors and I managed to hit a few screamers. I think these sectors will continue to be the right plays for the next few years. Gold, silver, gas, "real things". It's the place to be, IMO. CD

>>Fire away with your ideas guys ! I would like to be able to have one half of my funds in a short and one half in a long.... (in other words I would like to be able to bet that one stock will outperform the other regardless of where the market goes). Few people will be interested in this change, but that is no reason to disallow it. I believe it can be permitted without any change in workload, but you will know best. The relative performance graph is easily obtained in stockcharts.
