There are ETF's now that are 2x and 3x market or sectors - I've been playing with FXP. Including that in this contest or the 3x ETF's would distort the intent of the contest, both as a stock picking board and because of the leverage. BTW - anyone who plays these should stick to writing options, or strictly as a hedge to their portfolio. The huge premiums make you the bookie and covers even constant mistakes in timing the market.
KIK Contest Change: yielddude has graciously allowed me to change the rules of the contest to add a requirement that the winning pick must be an individual stock---no ETFs. He was cruising to victory with SRS but understood that my intention was to recognize the best stock pick. This in no way takes away from the great pick that SRS was at the start of PSL10. It does, however, take away $100 from yielddude...
Now, who's with me in the effort to get ETFs out of future PSLs altogether???
