Contest Rule Update And Clarification Posted By:Mark Koba Topics:Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge Folks--please read:
In response to your inquiries, CNBC has posted a clarification to the rules. It states that each Participant may only receive one (1) place in the Finals, irrespective of the number of portfolios entered. The Official Rules have been modified to reflect this clarification.
----------------- I still think it would have been better had they just made a rule that you can only HAVE one portfolio to begin with. Cause obviously if you create 100 portfolios, you are bound to get lucky with one of them.
BooDog, you can answer the trivia questions until 9am the next day.

no. you can still get in. we are probably pretty far behind the leaders but with todays market a nice hit and we'll catch up. plus a couple friends are just getting ready to sign up. it'll be a stretch but what the hell. Sign up today and put your pick in before 1559 so it will buy in tomorrow morning. Good Luck Ace! Don't forget to get the bonus questions also.

Good Job Boodog! My first day I was only in the top 85%. Here are my standings to date.
As of Market Close 30766 (Top 10%)
Week to Date 0.51%

Available Cash $209,398.96
Stock Holdings $825,081.66

it shows me behind you Jo by rank # even though my total value is above. Maybe these guys can't count as well as make decent rules. And the bonus bucks might not be added in yet - if that's the case then we are about even again. Rank # didn't change from Wed. I thought I was going to be a gonner yest but everything bounced back a bit for me.

Well, I really fell in the rankings, mostly due to FRPT's decline to $15.96. However, they reported great earnings Friday, so I should be doing better this week.

Tracking these with my other portfolios. my highest is in the top 36%. but I started with the one above so that's the 1 i'll claim. unless one of the others hits the top 25 list. LOL

looking at SUNW and RACK sunw can't seem to get very far with all the profit takers but rack looks like it could do pretty well. Some of those in my previous posts have done purdy well.

This is the one I started with. I don't expect to catch the leaders who I think are over the 2mm mark so it's just for fun. maybe if i had started at the same time i'd have a chance. You can be in the top 10 on May 11th and get into the final though. gonna take a MAJOR runner to get there though.

Couldn't buy gbx either. looks like i got out of ORCL just in time. we'll see. canx CQB also "Alabama-based Drummond coal mining company on Thursday denied charges pending in U.S. federal court that it paid right-wing paramilitaries to kill three union leaders near its Colombian mine in 2001." yikes.

3%, 5%, 12%, 17%, 25%, 26%, 28%, 2 at 39%, 42%, 47%, and one lazy one at 61%.
I don't have the patience for 800 portfolios more than 1 should have been against the rules but what the hell - I need more pinky money!
