I think you get Friday's closing price, since that is when the contest starts. Make sure you memorize the board header too... <g>

Everyone who gets their picks in before this Friday's close gets Friday's closing price to start. That's the start of the round.

You can also enter with $100 cash and make your picks any trading day you like, you get the price at the next end of the trading after you put in your picks.

The one rule that catches lots of new players is you can put at most half your capital into any one position. The other is you can't add to a position or sell a partial position (gotta sell all or nothing). And no cheatin'.

Good luck, it's your first time, so you'll probably win.

Taro maintains the header, and it is officially in Swenglish, if you have trouble understanding it, just ask, you'll then get about nine different answers.

So anyway, what did you wan to do - enter with your picks based on Friday's close, or enter with $100 cash and make selections later?
