Who will join Queen Victoria and King Richard as the champion stock pickers on SI? This is a fun and free contest open to all registered members of SI. Previous contest prizes (in addition to bragging rights) have included the famous Silicon Investor T-shirts, subscriptions to numerous investment newsletters, cash (Q2 winner Richard Lee received $250 cash). The complete list of prizes for this quarter's contest will be posted on the thread as they are confirmed. RULES: 1. DEADLINE - All complete and eligible entries received prior to the start of trading on October 1st, 1997 will be included. This time is estimated at 7:29 AM Mountain Time on Oct. 1st. Don't wait until the last possible minute as any late entries will be void and eliminated without additional warning - NO EXCEPTIONS. This is in fairness to all entrants. Please do not submit your entries until you are sure of them. 2. DURATION - October 1st - December 31, 1997. 3. SELECTION - You MUST select five (5) stocks listed on a Canadian exchange (TSE, MSE, VSE, ASE) - NO MORE, NO LESS. Please list your 5 stocks including exchange in the first line of your post on this thread so that it shows up in the first line. Suggested format: Sym.Ex i.e. ZZZ.A, YYY.T The following rules should be noted regarding eligibility of stocks: Only common shares are eligible i.e. no warrants, debentures, preferred shares or other non common shares. Stocks closing for less than $0.40 are eligible BUT WILL BE ASSIGNED A SEPT. 30 CLOSING PRICE OF $0.40 for contest evaluation purposes. This MIN STOCK PRICE RULE has been hotly debated over the course of 1997 and the Contest Adminstrator has chose to continue it for the 4th quarter contest. Please note what this means for your contest portfolio if you select say a penny stocks which has a Sept. 30 close of $0.15 and Dec. 31 close of $0.30. For contest purposes you will show a 25% LOSS:(0.30-0.40)/0.40)= -25% vs. the reality of a 100% gain from 15->30 cents. In addition to the above rules, your stock selections must have traded during the month prior to the start of the contest. i.e. during Sept'97 for the Q4 contest. 4.EVALUATION - Closing prices on Dec. 31 will be compared to Sept. 30 closing prices to determine percentage gain for all selected stocks. Each of your five stocks receives an equal weighting. The average of your five selections' percentage gains(losses) for the quarter determines your standings. Please note: If a stock has a name change or change in structure (i.e. split, roll-back) the Sept. 30 price will be amended to reflect the new name, structure, etc. Please contact the Contest Administrator with info on any contest stock changes. In the case of stocks which are halted or otherwise do not trade on either Sept. 30 or Dec. 31 the most recent previous closing price shall be used for evaluation purposes providing the stock has traded within the last 10 days. In the case of stocks which are suspended or halted on Dec. 31 and have been for more than 10 days, the stock's closing price for contest purposes will be determined by the Contest Administrator. This price may be anywhere from zero (0) to the highest closing price over the 3 months of the contest depending on the nature of the halt. All other issues will be dealt with by the Contest Administrator as required.
