I tried this in another forum, but didn't get any takers. Trying again here to hopefully get some interest. I really hope ANYONE wants to participate as I am not a fan of the "bigger" boards, I much prefer the "old school" style of this board!
Contest proposal follows:
Posted by taters77 on :
I wanted to propose an idea that I've been considering since last month. A board for a competition on stock picks that would be for stocks specifically targeted as 8-ish month investments; bought at (late in this case), Easter, and sold 8 months later (before Christmas).
The big boards have way too many sketchy members and suspect posts, so I am hoping to get enough interested participants here.
I propose the following rules, (which I am open to suggestions for changing/amending):
1. Post your top 3 picks for greatest percentage of gain by COB Monday December 4th 2021, (8 months from last Easter).
2. You must have skin in the game, meaning you have taken a "new" position in your picks.
3. You have to post the ticker, date and PPS of your position, but the number of share you have is optional.
4. You can make a 1-for-1 exchange to your positions at any point in the competition, but you must post the details of your "swap-out" at the time it is made.
5. Please keep discussion of any stock that is not in your 3 picks, or another members 3 picks to the other forums. (No pumping, bashing, scamming, generally sketchy business allowed).
6. I will sponsor an obnoxious 1st place trophy, plaque, or some other prize for the victor (probably less than $25 in value), and an equally humiliating prize for the loser!
7. Any market, but stocks only please; no options, mutuals, etc.
***Disclosure*** This is a friendly competition only. Participants are individually responsible for any losses, debts, or financial obligations. Neither I nor allstocks.com are responsible for the actions of any member.
