I need to redeem my reputation in the next stud contest ... This is a real disaster ... I am starting to taste like chicken too ... Anything less than the top 5 is purely unacceptable ... but thanks for the honorable mention ...

Gump-man: some suggestions for the next contest : October 1st through December 31st ... whoever is first after close of 1st month get a prize whoever is first after close of 2nd month get a prize whoever is first after close of last month get grand prize ... I think you should restrict it to 5 dollars or more because people will stock up with low price stocks because of their exaggerated movement, we should try to make the picks closer to a real life portfolio than just trying to make a gamble out of 5 stocks ...

Forget the whole business of bid vs ask on the opening day. Go with End of day price start to finish. I believe that this was the source of many of the errors and misunderstandings from the beginning. (Correct me if I'm wrong) My 2 cents Tom

Since many brokerages and some exchanges don't allow shorting a stock below $5. in price; that may be a rule to consider.
