ASND OVER $40 VS UNDER $40 CONTEST!!! All right everybody, this ASND over $40 vs under $40 thing has gotten out of hand. 100 shares of ASND is just too much to wager, IMO. But I've had a different idea for a week. I've talked to Glenn and he agrees to retract his bet and go with my idea. I'm proposing the first ever ASND SI over-under $40 contest. This is no cyber-champagne, virtual reality wager - it's the real thing but on a much smaller scale. This is similar to the kind of wager Mayors of cities make when their teams go to the Superbowl - some special prize form the locale of the loser. I'm hoping for just a small number of entrants from the most verbal banterers, TIM, Style, Glenn and a few others. Entrants will be paired - one each over and under $40. Each entrant has to come up with an item from their particular area that can be shipped to the winner of each pair. I will enter as an over $40 entrant. I am offering a 9" Deep Dish Pizza from Lou Malnati's (1-800-LOU-TO-GO) in Chicago. With overnight Fedex, this is a $30 prize and serves 2 people. I would like to challenge Tim, but I imagine several others would like to as well, so I won't claim that priviledge - I'll challenge Cramer instead, if he cares to enter. Tim lives in San Diego, so to enter, he has to come up with something from his locale. Glenn, some Pittsburgh specialty is in order, etc. Here are the rules: 1) To keep everyone's address and E-Mail info confidential, the paired teams either agree to exchange among themselves or Glenn has agreed to act as intermediary as his E-Mail is posted. Losers and winners can exchange addresses through Glenn and he guaranties confidentiality. 2) Over $40 for ASND shall be defined as two consecutive days closing over $40 on or before Christmas. 3) Paired teams will be decided by challenge and acceptance via SI posts - what the heck we have over 18,000 already whats a few more in fun? 4) Losers agree to pay winners so they can have the prize for New Years. Winners agree to post how they enjoyed their prize. 5) Prizes should be about $30 in value with postage. 6) Each entrant also lists the highest price (to the 16th) they think ASND will attain by Christmas. 7) The person closest to the actual highest price will receive a grand prize of a 2-pack of 9" Deep Pan Pizzas (a $40 value from me). Tim, there is no backing out of this, Glenn you should be in as well. Style, are you game? Hey Cramer, join the fun. Emile, Gary, Steve, Maverick? Others? lets have some fun!
