August Pick A stock Contest!

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Mon Aug 02, 2004 3:19 pm

Got this Idea elsewhere and thought it was a great Idea...

Let's try this.
Pick a stock before the opening bell (9:30 am) on Thursday August 5th.

Your stock's starting price will be the price at close of normal trading day (4pm) on Friday July 30th.

The competition will run until close of normal trading day (4pm) Friday August 27th.

The stock must be traded on the NASDAQ or NSE. Only one person can pick a stock so get in early!

Winner is the one with the greatest percentage (%) increase in stock price.

No duplicate picks - only one person can pick a stock so get in early!

No prizes, just bragging rights.

So do your Homework and let's hear those picks! Please indicate the full name plus the ticker symbol.
