If GNBT does not win, it will be the biggest choke in the history of the 3SoF Stock Picking contest. Reminds me of Gonzaga's choke against UCLA a few nights ago. The only valid reason for not locking up the profit is because there are two people who picked GNBT and selling first gives the other guy an advantage, unless you were lucky/good enough to sell at the highest open between now and the finish.

What this rule does for?, Eagerlearner is a subscriber so it does not matter if he sells it first or last, so the other person who picked GNBT is already out of the contest.. right? or did they change the rule again?

Rule #07 – In case the winner pick was picked by 2 or more players, the final winner will be the player who did post his pick in first place, with one exception in case one of the winners is an Honours Member (Subscriber), then he will be the final Contest Winner despite the date stamp of his pick.

This rule was made before we permit the Sell option in the contest, and that rule will remain in case there is a tie between 2 players. Of course, if one of them sells GNBT before the end of the contest, that rule doesn't make sense, because they both will probably have different final performances, (anyway, in case of a tie, eagerlearner will be the winner).

Hi Ramsburg, does that mean i have to make a better sell order than Masterik to beat him? Can i suggest that next time whoever posts the pick first locks that pick? Because one can just go through all the picks and choose one to post it himself.  That gets really messy and defeat the purpose of picking a stock  . ( I am not saying Masterik did that this time, i think it was a coincidence )
What do u guys think?

Hi Eagle !

More or less, if you both don't sell GNBT, you will win. But in case both of you sell it, the winner will be the best performer despite of who picked it first or who is part of the Honours Members group.

One of the reasons why we have implemented the Selling option was this one (solving ties), and also the trading feature... A trade is not only the stock picking part, as we all know, a lot of good picks turn into bad picks if we don't sell them on the right timing. By allowing users to sell their pick during the contest, we are not just running a «stock race», and we are already testing some trading skills (of course with some limitations), giving the players the «freedom» of selling their stock when they think is the best time.

My best regards !

Up to #3 now...

I'm coming, and I'm coming to get you.

MMMMhhhhhhhh The fight is very tight!!!!  The differences in the top are minimal.   No clues yet about the winner.  I reserved first seat at the balcony to watch this!!!

My pick (HOM) reports earnings tomorrow after the close, so watch out!! If it's a positive cc I could find myself vaulted to the top on Friday.

Wrangler - noooooooooooooo!!!!! You'd be in 1st place now I was pulling for you to win because I bought LVLT at 4.01 when I caught the breakout while checking the charts of the 4th Edition picks. Still holding. Will look at taking some off the table tomorrow.

Oh well there's a good chance GNBT and NXXI will give back some of their gains and you can retake the lead. There are a few good stocks behind you to worry about though. This edition of the contest has been a wild one.

GNBT, up 110% intraday a few weeks back, is now up a meager 17% and Eager and Masterik are in 16th and 17th place. It's March Madness, 3Stocks-style!

I was surprised Leaira did not sell NXXI at the open today. NXXI looks good, but it could easily pull a Generex.

Thanks, although I think it will be quite difficult to beat NXXI.

Wow GNBT from first to worst! Ok not worst but 31st place and barely holding green. AFOP made a powerful move late in the day. I picked some up in my own port this afternoon for a short-term momo play. It's in striking distance of NXXI.

Leaira, I will applaud you now for winning the contest for tomorrow..

I mean double applaud, "first woman to win in this contest"

Very nice pick Leaira!  Congratulations!

That would've been a great race, GNBT vs NXXI!!   

Thai

Great pick Leaira!!!!  Congratulations.   


That makes me feel so proud of our gender!!
