Emcee: Al Collard	Type: Moderated

Introduction Compact

This challenge is open to all Silicon Investor Members.

Prize: Bragging rights for 2002. Who will be SI's Guru of the year for Canadian stocks in 2002?

Here's what you need to do:

1) Pick 1 stock that trades on the TSE or VSE that has a closing price of $1.00 or higher.

2) Each entrant wll be deemed to have bought $20,000 worth of that stock. (only whole shares, decimal portions will not be used)

3) You can sell your pick on any day, in any month and replace it with another stock. I use closing day prices.

4) I will keep a running tally on each Challenge entrants net worth after the market closes on a regular basis.

5) If you miss getting in at the start of the challenge you can still get in at any time. You will be given $20,000.00 to buy your 1st stock pick.

6) Any stock that drops below $1.00 will be stopped out @$1.00

7) Your pick may be long or short.

8) Starting in the month of Feb you can sell your stock on any day of the month. Using the closing price of the stock on the day you wish to sell it. You can also buy your stock-pick on any day of the month.

One buy and one sell in any given month. Starting Feb 1st.

Let's have some fun with this and hopefully we all benefit with some great picks and ideas from the entrants.

Good Luck

regards,
