BOTL Stock Competition

[RX2010]

OK, here's the ground rules:
1. Comp. starts Feb 1. We will all start will $100,000 (BOTL money) (assuming Eric will reset us that have already purchased). No refills!
2. The competition will be done in 3 month segments. At the end of the 3rd month the winner will be whoever has earned the most (or lost the least :wink
3. The stakes are 3 sticks per person per segment. The requirement is: premium, hand made, long filler. Country and Price do not matter, however, lets keep a minimum price of about 3 dollars (ie, a Padron 2000), however be as generous as you please.
4. There is no limit on the number of contestants, however, to keep things simple, new contestants may only join at the beginning of each segment.

That's it for now, I am open to suggestions and amendments. Signs ups start now.

Contestants:
1. RX2010
2. Caudio51
3. CVM4
4. Pharmboy
5. Fresh50
6. Tobby4
7. Jwintosh
8. Tedski
9. Electric Sheep baaa

I would be interested. I have to be honest, I'll need some time to get caught up. I haven't kept up with the market like I used to when I was in school.

 

[RX2010]

dude, I've never kept up with the market

but yeah, do some research or whatever, I've made my buys, but we could reset in feb to start off or something.

 

[caudio51]

Oh good point

I'm game for whatever and im sure we could convince Eric to reset them

 

[RX2010]

cool beans, well, it'll be a two horse race unless someone else wants in

 

[Electric Sheep]

I suck so far...I'm down -2.076% since I started. :tongueout

 

[RX2010]

I'm down too, but we could have each segment be 3 months or something, that way it wouldn't be all luck, there would have to be some "skill" involved

It's just for fun really, but with a little incentive

 

[caudio51]

I'm with ya 100%

 

[cvm4]

I'd be in. I just won't invest till Feb. :thumbsup: Get the rules set in stone too.

 

[jrohrer]

[RX2010]

[jrohrer]
