CONTEST CLOSED JANUARY 9th, 2009.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is NOT to be confused with PSL11 which is for FEWER and LOWER priced stocks (on average) for SHORTER time frames.
This is an ideal contest for stock picking and TRADING micro/nano's.
This contest is for MORE and HIGHER priced stocks (on average for LONGER time frames.
This is an ideal contest for stock picking and HOLDING small, medium or even large caps.
VMC has both types of investors/traders.
-------------------------------------------
Contest Name: VMC Break The Hank Bank
Hank (10Bagger) is putting up $500 for the winner.
You need pick 10 stocks and identify which of your 10 stocks is your top pick.
Open to anyone who has posted on VMC, ZCC, JRMiner or JREnergy between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008 or if they were a contestant in BTHB08 or by special dispensation from Hank.
Picks are to be placed as a message on this board.
All picks will be "blind" picks. By that, it means they will have to be based upon the person's best guess rather than by seeing what others have done. When the picks are made, they will be deleted (hidden) from the board. Once the deadline passes, all picks by each person will be shown in the Ibox like other PSL contests.
The person who gets the highest portfolio (10 stocks) return at the end of the year (December 11th close) will get $500. Payouts will be after the final results on December 11th
and before the New Year.
1) The contest will end on December 11th to coincide with PSL13 for obvious reasons.
2) You must pick 10 stocks that are $1.00 or more on the deadline date - closing price of January 9th. You can pick a stock under $1.00,
however it must have earnings as per VMC earnings guidelines. If over $1.00, it does not need to have earnings.
3) All stocks must be at least 10 cents as of the January 9th close.
4) All stocks must meet the PSL dollar volume requirement of a minimum of $5,000 per day over the most recent three months. A stock will also qualify if it has 10,000 shares per day over the most recent three months even if it fails to dollar volume requirement.
5) Contestants are given one transaction each month. Unlike PSL, where a Freeze is not considered a transaction, in BTHB it is a transaction. Of course, a Trade is also a transaction, and so is an unfreeze.
6) The first trade can be made on February 2nd as there is a 3-week mandatory holding period.
7) If you don't use your monthly transaction, you lose it. You cannot bank transactions.
8) The Top-Pick will be 2x weighted. Your Top-Pick can only be Frozen or Unfrozen. It cannot be traded for another stock.
9) Only cash dividends of over 10% will be adjusted for. Stock dividends and splits will always be adjusted for.
10) No options, warrants, cash or shorts. Long stock positions only.
11) Results will be posted weekly.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Please make post about BTHB ONLY. Others will be deleted.
Thanks, Hank
