Select an entry price (like a market order), the stock must trade at that price within the next 5 days for your pick to be activated.

If the stock price gaps over or does not trade at that price during intraday swings you are not qualified.

The challenge plays till fridays close where I will calculate who won and post it on the thread.

The reward is yours to keep! The experience of fine tuning your ability to select a stock that is going to go higher. ( and that is cash in the bank for you) and of course bragging rights that you won..

Rules

1. stock priced between 2.00 - 5.00

2. volume of no less than 100k daily

3. entry price must be achieved during daily market 9:30 - 4:00 times (no pre market or after hour prices allowed)

4. no cramer picks from friday's show

5. one ticker per forum member

6. a ticker can be used once per challenge - if you want to use the same ticker for next week you must call it first after Friday's market close (4:00 est)

7. once an entry and ticker is selected and posted, there is no changing the entry or ticker.

8. entries for next challenge opens at Friday's market close (4:00 pm EST) and closes at midnight Sunday (12:00 pm EST)

I don't see any real value in the top 3 finishers this week personally. In fact....I used this past week's strength to add LVLT as a short! I like the game because it is a good screen for the type of stocks I like....somebody brought WFII to our attention fo instance. I like it! From a lower level of course as I'm sure yuns might imagine. I am even thinking of playing one that yet sumbody else brought to everyone's attention. To play it I'll have to catch a falling knife....and I'm deciding if I wanna do that or play the type of crap that finished out ahead this week....but play it above da mawket. I got a bankroll to purrtect ova heeeeya! *-)

i don't like the market actions.. i aint scared but all the ponies above 2.00 range have all made runs. sure they could go higher but i be a cheap skate and wants them low in the spin up, i aint no chaser. I do however like the action in the little doggies right now, you know! the ones that are setting new 52 week lows. them ones... i got in zp at a new low and it feels good to be where i am now, especially when the stock was free. right booo?

[englishman26]

TXLA @ 2.00.

Well below now (1.55) but I think it'll go on a run to 2.50-3.00. May take more than a week though so I might have to play this next week too!

[chinaman711]

I'll take dwog at the opening price.

[NATHAN LLOYD]

I can't find any reason why not to invest in energy. I'd rather take chances in this game than to walk away in the green at 5% again.

[Tooty]

IVAN @ open again plz.

Thaaas right...but I doan wreckin dat ZP be a good example of what I'm tawkin bout cause it be gonna retrace back to where it qualifies fo entry at da little dawg track....if ya know what I'm tawkin bout. I liked it as a retrace from a dallah cause I knew it would take out 1.99. That's why I mentioned it to everyone last Fri. I doesn't like it where it tis right cheeeya....it would be a goodun to enter at da track, but I wouldn't trade it meself. :0

[BOOOYAHOOO!]

I was gonna run XSNX above da mawket but it's already taken. I think XSNX will trade lower before it runs BTW. :) I'll try and bottom fish TCG's RHEO which was Cramer's pick that wiped out all your gains in everything else you own if you play "am I diversified?" with Cramer's picks. LOL I'm hoping da final shakedown in RHEO happens early this week. Da bankroll on RHEO at 2.05 which is at the lower end of me entry tawget zone 2.27-1.95. :o

[jacobnbr1]

i got me a pick here, lets try (clst) at 2.00. it needs to come in a tad foist but could possibly bounce. if i was really buying this i probably would not but i would want it at 1.60sh. but since there is a 2.00 minimum and everthing looks like crap to me i will try this un.

[TheBullPicker]

IRXI @ open

[Bman409]

AVAN at $2.54

[wallnut]

Ill take AID @ 2.00 although it will see sub 1.50 first
since Bman and Nathan took EBOf before I had a chance. Although Bman had a good run I think this is the week for huge gains!!

[BigBoi1881]

IMGN @ open

[2 Worldz]

Rheo @ 3.30

[BOOOYAHOOO!]

Rheo @ 3.30

Sorry, looks like I beat you to this pick based on the time stamp of your post. In fact, I think you were too late to qualify anyway since your pick needs to be in before premarket trading begins. Let's see what the time stamp is on this post....perhaps there are a couple of udder playa making late entries too. We can't have playas guaging the action by what is happnin in PM trading..that's fo sho!

[wallnut]

2 worldz was a lil late in my opinion but in the past pics up till 8.5 have been aloud, RHEO goes to booo because he picked it foist, but as the rule states
12 AM monday is the cut off. Everybody but 2worldz is in this weeks comp.
And after this week the cut off will be midnight, so not to create anymore problems. I am open to change the rules if anybody would like to start a poll.

i set the rule at midnight because i did not want any pre trading data to be compiled into somones pick, ie. there could be some pr's from early monday am when the foreighn markets open up. you know what i am saying? that could make an advantage and we caint be havin it that away.

[wallnut]

then its agreed

[wallnut]

this will have to for now

[wallnut]

Sorry my time is limited. I have an important meeting tonight and am having problems with my server. I will try to post later tonight or early tomorow.

Is that a lil better?? :D

[Pinguin]

[MoMoney4Me]

Yep, thanks wallnut !
But call 911 I'm bleeding bad !

[englishman26]

Wallnut - that looks beautifu! (if, like Mo said, rather too much red!)

I hope everyone enjoys a better today tomorrow!

[ChronicDDL]

XSNX has finally started to pull back and I am totally stoked even though I picked it in this weeks contest and will end up in last place. I have been waiting for this to happen so I could pick up some cheap shares. I wonder how far it will fall before it hits bottom?
