Just wondering but howcome we have a Monthly Stock Challenge and a Weekly Stock Challenge and not a Daily Stock Challege?
If you ask me i think that that would be a good idea. you choose 1 stock everyday and the entres are due by 9 am that day...No one can have the same stock and its first come first serve!
Who agrees we should have a Daily Stock Challenge??

Ask Thierry Martin our site Admin to make it Sticky when you start it...Then it will stay on top.

I'll award a free hardcover trading book to be selected from the titles I have available to each daily winner for the first 2 weeks. After that we'll see! Maybe every 3rd win - depends on how much participation we see.

Jeez Thierry, how many books do you have lying around?
I was just kidding about the prizes. This contest seems like it could get out of hand. I like the challenge of weekly and monthly.

I play in some daily games on other sites and if you want to read some of the rules they use I will post them below.
Just Suggestions-
- Make sure your picks are in by 9:30 am EST.
- Post the ticker symbol only of one stock you think will have the highest % gain.
- The stocks should have closed over $2 the previous trading day.
- This game uses the open price and not the previous days closing price as the starting price.
I have found when playing daily stock picking games you need to use the open price from that day and not the previous days closing price because of all the after/pre market trading.
Usually a different member will host there own game on a certain day with there own rules, this makes every game different and more exiting.
I can host 1 daily game a week on this site if you guys want. We could start off with 1-2 daily games a week and build from there.

I can host the daily game on Thursday’s and will use the same format every Thursday. Other members who want to host a daily game should figure out what day works best for them and make up their own rules and then start the game thread the day before the game.
