Intel reports on the 17th. It is not yet known when AMD will report, but I suspect it will be that same week, as usual. Regardless, the contest deadline is defined as the morning of whichever company reports earlier (AMD or Intel) at U.S. stock market open. So in the event that AMD reports earlier than anticipated you would be advised not to procrastinate on your entry... :-) EARLY/MID-Q FORECASTS vs. END-OF-QUARTER: We have already run two "forecast" entry periods this quarter, but they are completely separate from this traditional End-of-Quarter contest. Those of you that entered one or both of the earlier forecast competitions, your data will automatically carry over . As such, we already have 16 entries. :-) However, if you don't like your numbers you can resubmit new numbers and reset your bonus (just remember to submit a COMPLETE entry as your old one will be discarded). Or you can submit a revision for one company, keeping your bonus for the other. See the entry form for more details.ENTRY PHASES: We start the contest with the "early entry phase" where the bonuses are bigger but none of the entries or statistical data is revealed. On Tuesday the 10th we will begin the "regular entry phase". At that time entries and statistical entry data are revealed for all to see, but bonuses are much smaller for those entering in this latter phase.PRIZES: We give out 3 T-shirts and 3 quarterly SI & iHub subscriptions for each End-of-Quarter contest, in addition to the 2 shirts we give out for the Forecast competitions. There are currently 2 people eligible, and as it now stands they will with the 2 forecast shirts, leaving the other 3 up for grabs for anyone that decides to become eligible. See the 'Prizes' link below for more details.RULES & INFO: epscontest.com epscontest.com epscontest.com epscontest.com epscontest.com epscontest.com epscontest.com May the best investor(s) win!
