2008 Pick(s) of the Year (Updated Rules)[no parlays]
if you choose to exit a position... there is no rolling over into a new one. 2 winners will be anointed: the best pick of the year, and the best portfolio % gain
duplicates allowed among contestants unlike gapper/tankers
for posting on the board use format: 2008: pick of the year YXAB XXUX TREQD ZXCV
anyone can post during 2008 an exit when it is that time... for posting on the board your exit use format: 2008: exit YXAB stock of year and i will note the exit date and exit price in the spreadsheet
contest closes on market close January 4
entry price calculated as of close of trading day on date of entry. You get the 12/31/07 close if you make your selection before the market closes on New Year's Eve
All entries must be listed stocks NYSE AMEX Nasdaq and be trading at a minimum of $1 as of close on 1/2/08
I will presume, for calculation purposes, that you put $10,000, commission free, into each selection. Winner will have the largest %gain, not the largest portfolio, i.e., not all $40,000 on one pick.
