I read the rules but could you expound on the issue of TRADING. Is this contest just a pick these 5 stocks before Sept 29th and hope they are at a nice gain on the close of December?
I wanted to be clear on this issue before I submit my picks...

The reason I ask is, with Yahoo's monthly Investment Challenge the contestant can TRADE as offten as he wishes with the simulated $100,000 start up cash. Yahoo doesn't allow the contestant to trade stocks priced under $5

My personal strategy is, I never buy a stock priced over $5 because I cannot own enough shares. I also TRADE that stock if I have opportunity at a profit, which is how I learned to build capital...

Thanks for any info on how this is done...

Regards,
Malcolm
