10Bag:
The issue has nothing to do with whether or not you (OR I) think a stock should be included if it meets some specific criteria. THE ISSUE is whether it is EASILY kept track of - and I mean daily. It is incredibly time consuming as it is. There is no way on this planet we are going to have to look up stock prices on some obscure site daily. Simply put, unless it is trackable on Yahoo Finance and updated daily, it isn't going to be allowed. However, since I know all non pinky US stocks are updated daily on Yahoo, those qualify.
If the non US stock is tradeable in the US and has a pk attachment it is potentially debateable, but I vote no. Unless BW and SSK overrule me OR there is some new information about this issue that makes tracking them in real time a guarantee, that is the way it will be.
As I said before (or at least implied) if a person can't find 6 stocks in the US out of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds that have been mentioned on this board and would qualify, then this contest isn't for them.
As I also said before, it is NOT all-inclusive. It is what it is.
