Finance Forum's Stock Contest

[Uglyowl]

Just trying to gauge people's interest here. There are many smart people here which I would like to see their investment strategy during a year and foster discussion.

Rules I would like to see to not turn this into a run and gun penny stock gambling fest:

1. No stocks under $1

2. Maximum 20%(?) invested in one stock.

3. Maximum of x trades per day

4. Shorting is allowed

Setup a virtual port on Marketocracy , join the 2+2 poker players club there (its on the 1st page of club listings), and have some fun... we are up to about 60+ participants.

i have no idea what im doing can one of the "more experianced" members of the 2+2 club explain it to me a little bit maybe at least point me in the right direction

I'd do it if there was some organized way of running it (i.e. Not just everyong reporting what they bought and when at the end of the year). A club at my school runs a similar contest through an organization called iChallenge. I'm not sure what the fees are or if there's a similar free service, but it's worth looking into.

Are options allowed?
How much are we playing for?

I thought Dan was planning to run another one?

If anyone wants to do it, I suggest marketocracy as the site!

[infinite_loop]

I'd be into it. I'm trying to learn as much as I can right now.

[brick]

This would be great.
