I havent finished calculating last years contest results but here are the rules for this years contest.
-First picks must be made by the close of market on Friday Jan 14th
-Stocks must be on major market, no OTCBB or PK stocks
- Trades must be at market price, or closing price PRIOR to market opening (so if you make a pick at night it is based on market open price the next trading session) and prices will be verified as to the accuracy
- You can buy and sell FIVE round trips during the year, but cannot make an additional buy before the previous sell is placed
- New for this year, you can have TWO positions at a time, but at a 50% rate, so if you have two holdings they are for 50% of portfolio versus any other percentage. You must also specify this when making a trade, so if you want two holdings you have to state it when you buy..not after you have the first holding.
Winning calculations will be made as a percentage of gain, not based on the price of the stock.
Any questions feel free to ask, everyone is invited to join the contest.

Not using a dollar figure, rather going off percentages.
If you want one position, just pick one stock..that equals 100% for your entry. If you want two positions, both now then state the two positions and it is 50/50. If you want two positions, one now and one later then state that as-
DRYS 5.60 50% second position TBD or whatever.
If you start at 1 position and do not claim it to be a 50% position, then you are 100% on that position until you close the trade..then you can do two or one on the next.
It probably complicates things but opening up the choice of two positions seemed to add a wrinkle to the contest, and having 5 open/close trades available seemed to make it more interesting too.

BP at 46.08 (100%)...I do not have access to covers during the week so if it opens higher Monday I will take that price instead for fairness. Thanks Wall
