OFF TOPIC Since this thread has had stock picking contests in the past, I thought I'd mention that our thread is having another one starting in about a week. I'll post the rules below. I consider the Strictly Drilling thread one of the best if not the best thread on SI on quality of information and I check the thread throughout the day. Anyway if any wish to enter our contest please send your 2 picks (long or short over $5) to me either by SI private mail, email, or post on Zbest Place to Talk stocks thread. Please don't post any picks on the Strictly Drilling thread so as to not clutter it up. Thanks for the great thread here. Paul---Long BTJ, GLM, PDE, GW ZSTOCK PICK CONTEST-Entries due by 5-1-98 Zstock Contest Rules 1. Contest begins at the market open 5-4-98 and ends on 6-30-98 at the market close. Beginning price will be the price of the stock at the close on 5-1-98. 2. Everyone is welcome to enter and this includes lurkers and or non-SI members.. 3. Two (2) stocks will be picked by each participant. Please make sure that your picks are quoted on Yahoo, since the daily updates are generated from this site. 4. The stock must be priced over $5.00, therefore no "penny" stocks. 5. A stock can not be sold once it has been entered into the contest, even if it no longer looks attractive to the contestant. This is a buy and hold contest. 6. This contest is not a reflection of one's trading abilities since stocks must be held throughout the duration of the contest. 7. Contestants are encouraged, but not required, to provide a short T/A (technical analysis) and or F/A (fundamental analysis) of their stocks. Basically a rationale as to why you picked this particular stock. Using the excuse that the dog dumped on the Wall Street Journal is not acceptable. <gg> 8.
