The contest is interesting IMO. I like to check in to see how I'm doing and compare it to the rest of the entrants. It seems like there are a lot of long shots that are in the contest purely in an attempt to win. (go figure) What I'm saying is they wouldn't risk their own money on their picks. On the other hand, I have. I sold out of one or two of my picks already, but still wouldn't mind buying them back. I've played a couple of my picks in both contests. I thought in the first contest header it stated to pick stocks you would recommend to your mother or grandmother. I'm sure some of the Inet stocks wouldn't have made the list. :^) High risk long shots will always win a short contest. If you have a contest you can trade in and out of, it would be much different also. (but who would want to keep track?) That's also the reason I'm not on top. <g> BTW, anyone pick BAMM in this contest? Happy investing! KZAP
