Len, I think that I have solved the problem. When I sold yesterday, I could have rebot today before the close and bought using one of my frozen positions. That way I would have about 1/2 as much stock as I had before selling. The drawback to doing this is that it uses 2 transactions instead of one and I loose the 104% the stock went up today. However, in most cases, the stock wouldn't go up that much in one day. Since you and SSK do not want to change the rules to allow this, I may suggest that if someone wants to go to all the trouble to do this on there own, maybe a rule in future contests allowing someone to do this and only being charged one trade instead of two would make sense. I see this as practically no extra work for you or SSK.
