A good start. Let's not call it the Gump and Chicken thread. I would rather make it more open. If you want to include in the header the impetus for this contest, fine. We need to be more specific on the buy/sell rules and I think we should start everyone with cash in hand. 10k-100k? Without a cash limit someone could say they are buying/calling/putting a million shares of MSFT. A guess in the right direction would skew the results. Is this a buy on 8/3 and sell on 9/1 with no out or in points along the way? What about options that may expire during that time period? Not being anal, just trying to diffuse issues proactively. Also, I would like to start on the 4th. Why? I want to give more people the oppurtunity to play along and I will be in the air all night and working a 10 hr. day on monday. My DD time for this specific contest is limited by this severely.

Let's call it the 'SI International Open' followed by the 'SI International Championship' with the top 10% of the open. Also, the bottom 10% should be placed in the 'SI Hall of Shame'. With all of the posturing and snorting on SI, I would like to see who has the balls (metaphorical and physical) to take a risk. I think you will find some of the worst of them poo pooing our contest with comments including 'testosterone' or 'beneath them'..... Let's push the start date back a little further. I want the word to spread. Let's give all of the jokers a chance... I don't want this to be a pissing contest between just you and I...
