Our $50 stock contest sponsered by StockFetcher.com - Stock Screening IS NOW OPEN

NEW ABILITY TO SUBMIT SHORT SELLING STOCKS PLEASE READ THE NEW RULE

To enter a stock as a SHORT SELL please put a SS by the stock name and the stock must be OVER 5.00 in price to qualify.

A example % for short sell (SS) stocks. Lets say I pick stock ABC(SS) and it opens Monday at 10.00$ and it closes on friday at $5.00. Because I picked it as a short sell (SS) and it went DOWN from Monday to Friday, my % gain for the week on ABC would be +100%.
Now say I pick ABC as a short sell (SS) and it opens monday at 5.00 and closes friday at 7.50 Because the stock closed up when I picked it to go down, my % at the end of the week would be -50%

YOU CAN DO A COMBINATION also So you can do 1 stock as regular SIRI with NO SS by it suggesting you want it to go UP and you can post one stock as MSFT (SS) as a short, or you can do both SS or both LONG like regular

To enter:

1. Click on "Post Reply" to this message in the upper left of this thread
2. Enter your Name in the body
3. Enter your 2 Big Board stocks that are currently above 3.00 or CURRENTLY over 5.00 if you want to SHORT THE STOCK
4. Enter in CLOSING price GUESS for the stocks you choose for 10/14/08
5. Stocks must trade over $20,000 per week to qualify

ABC (SS) 7.50
EFG (SS) 11.45

There shows my name, my 2 stocks and the guess closing price of next friday incase we need a tie breaker.

The contest will be open from 4pm EST today until 9am est monday!!! at which time the contest will close for entries. Then on Friday at close we will start calculating the % gains and losses for the week. The person with the combined highest % gain for the week is the winner of a FREE 3 month membership to StockFetcher.com - Stock Screening

If my 1 stock is up 30% and my other is down 7% then my week total is up 23%

Good luck to all!
