Further Explanation of Foreign pricing on Yahoo..

From My Portfolio: POST #19 in answer to LENTINMAM..

Symbol Last..Change........ Shrs.... Paid.. Value

BGH.V 1.70 +0.05 +3.03% 32,259 1.615 $47,190.69

Value Change ........Gain
$1,387.96 +3.03% $2,359.54 +5.26%


The Value change and Gain are in USD daily making it A TRUE value of the position at current prices in US Dollars after exchange rates of the exchange traded where ever listed..The Value change is daily and the gain is from the initial purchase or Contest starting date...As positions are measured on a percentage basis for the contest this allows the same treatment.. If you wanted to use the "pink" pricing untill the last day of the contest and then use the Yahoo conversion I doubt if any would object..Finding value is the mission, Not trying to see who can copy anothers position...If you wish to limit the posting of three members why not limit all to a blind posting with a personal message to you.. It would not increase your work.. If you did that all you would have to do until the contest starts is list the name of the participants.. Once the contest starts thier picks could be placed next to thier name as now and the Mr. Sheep tally could be made... If at that Time any DUPES appeared on all six picks let that group have one additional pick,, like where will the DOW be at the end of the contest,, In fact making that a tie breaker question and posting the Ave. for all would not be a bad idea... Oh well I'll still abide by the rules what ever you decide,, like i said it's your football... hank
