Well, it is Q1, 1998 and I will give this a bash if you will all work with me to make this as smooth as possible. As discussed on the Q4 forum we will use the same basic rule set with a few adjustments that Eric used. I scrapped the 0.40 cent minimum, while these can be volatile and huge gainers, they often go the other way also. Major Importance, don't forget to add your Jan 2 closing price to the 5 selections. I will do this assuming we get a reasonable number of entrants. I do not feel we have time to make major changes to rules under such short notice if we are all keen still at the end of Q1, we will re-evaluate rules at that point. I have not contacted SI or any previous donators prior to the start of the contest to see where we stand, we will handle that later when we have time. Try and put a line after your first line of selections giving a point or two as top why you chose specific slections or a general comment abouts your 5 picks for us all to think about. For example I will tell you that all my picks are companies I feel under under priced and have either a technology that is imminently ready to come to market, or in the case of mining stocks, have proven assets that are ready to be joint ventured or sold to a larger mining concern should an offer come along. Contest Rules 1. DEADLINE - All complete and eligible entries must be recived received prior to the start of trading on January 5th, 1998 to be included. Don't wait until the last possible minute as any late entries will be void and eliminated without additional warning - NO EXCEPTIONS. This is inn fairness to all entrants. Please do not submit your entries until you are sure of them. 2. DURATION - January 5th - March 31, 1998. 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, ALONG WITH CLOSING PRICE AS OF January 2nd, so that it shows up in the first line. Suggested format: Sym.Ex i.e. ZZZ.A @ 0.40, YYY.T @ 2.40 ETC ETC 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. Your stock selections must have traded during the month prior to the start of the contest. i.e. during Nov'97 for the Q1, 98 contest. 4.EVALUATION - Closing prices on March 31 will be compared to Jan 2nd 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 Jan 2nd or March 31st, 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 March. 31 and have been for more than 10 days, evaluation will be zero for a delisted company or the average of the most recent 10 days trading price, assuming trading is to be continued at a future date. All other issues will be dealt with by the Contest Administrator as required.
