'SI International Open' 1. Pick 5 stocks, (not 1,2,3 or 4) currently trading on the NYSE, ASE, NASDAQ, or OTC BB. Stocks only, no options, etc. Everyone starts with $100,000. The money is split up equally, 20 grand per stock. No stocks that are trading under 10 cents. Entries are due before the market closes on Wednesday August 5. Prices are at the close Wednesday, August 5, at 4:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 4:30 p.m., we determine the winner, based on closing prices that day. If your stock is halted on September 1, you get a zero for that stock. Most money made off the original $100,000 is the winner. 2. Entry is Wednesday August 5, exit Tuesday Sept. 1. No in or out between these dates. Long or short; you can short OTC BB stocks for this contest. 3. Participants agree to refrain from antagonistic posts and personal attacks on other participants [aka "flames"] on the OTC BB stock threads during the contest. Flame away on other threads if you wish, but the stock threads are off limits for flames. If a contest participant posts a flame to another participant on a BB stock thread, and any 3 other people agree it is a flame, that person is eliminated from the contest. If there is an argument about this rule, Gump and Chicken override and make the final decision. 4. Factual information, good or bad, posted without rancor, is not a flame. Opinions about a stock, posted without rancor towards another individual, are not flames. 5. Posts which contain negative personal opinions about another participant, sarcasm, satire, witty quips, and the rest of that stuff, are open to judgement as flames. 6. No penalty for spelling and grammar goofs, but retorts with obvious satirical intention may be considered to be flames.
