Yes.One is not enough. Two is not enough. Perhaps three.

If you are going to let people pick entry and exit points, this could be pose a monitoring challenge. One contest could be held to start at a certain date and end on a certain date. Some consideration for the best overall gain from the date of the pick to the highest point for the stock having traded anywhere within the time frame of the contest. A winning entry for the biggest gainer (not a hot dog, ala Peter Puck) from the start of the contest to the finish.

Another posssibility is to keep this thread for the best pick from inception of the pick to the end of each month and/or until the pick is withdrawn by the picker( as opposed by the pickee withdrawing it prematurely as this could result in being classified as a quicky). This way you can have a multi-winner of great magnitude. Some restriction should be imposed as withdrawal must occur at some point in the future else there could be a falling off at some point.

So there is much to ponder. I will have more to add at a later date. Perhaps June 30.

Good luck to all.

Gene

ED; Maybe you should start a new thread. In the header of the new thread - put the rules because new entrants may not know what they are because you posted them a while back. I cannot even find it now. I think we are supposed to pick three stocks on CDN exchanges under $.50 and pick the exit point - Is this a point we would sell in theory or a guess at the closing price one month from now. Is it a month long?

I will check back later today as I have three picks.

Ed, we think a separate thread for the contest is a good idea. In that case, we will keep our MIQ.MSE pick (you already have the info), as well as our JOT.VSE (info sent).

Still waiting to hear if old picks like KCI can remain in the contest.

Agora.
