Thanks guys-

Anyone heard from Ramsburg?

Congratulations boatguy and masternic for breaking 10% profit and everyone else who finished in the green. That was a pretty close battle between the top 5 until the end.

here is the change i would like to see. i don't know if this is possible but just buying at the open and selling at the open is too fixed . maybe you could buy on any day in the month having previously decided which stock to play. also at any time of day. given that you can record the time the email is sent saying you have bought xyz stock at the ask price at this time.
your email will record the time you buy so there won't be any cheating with hindsight and it is easy to check what the bid and ask is at any time of the day.
same with the selling.
shorting should be included and it doesn't have to be a separate contest. one player is on one side of the market while another is on the other side.
thanks, and congrats again to the top three.,
see you next contest,

Maybe a limit order posted before market action...
Shorting, I'm not sure it will be simple to code...

let me think about it

What about buying options (puts and calls) on stocks?

We sure did miss a great time to have a contest,
with the bull market that we have been in.
I can imagine with some of the picks these stock heads here @ 3SOF would have come up with, at some of the gains they would have posted.....  
For shame, we have missed all this....I'm sad 

When will we have another contest???
