derek2000: Perhaps the voting should *not* be anonymous .... anonymous voting might allow multiple votes and potential manipulation. Maybe the voting should be divided into 2 polls ? One for anyone and the second only for regulars on this board. The results will be closely watched and those stocks that are the favorites will undoubtedly be getting a lot of buy orders ! This board has a lot of influence.

I'd also prefer to see voting done on a monthly or 6 week basis .... this is a very fast moving market niche and a full 3 months between stock selections may be too much time.

ECSC Polling

I would strongly recommend to do the quarterly polls here on the board and in the same way as before: people post their lists with reasons and commentary if possible. It is both interesting to see individual lists and also transparent. There shouldn't be any problems with anonymity or possible manipulations. And I would delete votes from accounts that have just been created, not because I value new members' contributions less but for possible manipulation.

ECSC Top Picks voting

Goal:

Establish a set of simple and transparent rules that will govern the selection process of ECSC top picks in a repeatable fashion. (This way, we are comparing apples to apples every time. )

The actual mechanics and methodology for the poll to be determined.

Consensus so far:

1) The poll should be open and transparent
2) The poll will take place on this board
3) Each voter (contributor) shall list his/her stocks of choice AND give the reasons for his/her choices.
4) The poll should be done regularly at pre-determined interval
5) It is a top ten pick, so each contributor can recommend up to 10 stocks (The final tally, however, may have 10 to 15)

Things to be decided

6) Eligibility criteria for the stocks?
(e.g. Bogus07: US traded China stocks, market cap ~ 1B to include RINO etc, No exchange limitation - so Pink sheet OK?)

7) Who can vote? (Open to everyone?, or just regular posters on this board)
- Rames suggests that the voting is open to everyone, but he will delete those votes who use new alias to eliminate double counting and manipulation.
- The question is actually whose votes will be counted.

8) The voting interval
- Quarterly? (This seems to be the consensus)
- Every month?
- Every 6 weeks?

Technical difficulties and limitations


As this board grows, the voting population will become large, the tally of the votes then become difficult.
