    RIGHT:
    all you traders: start your bitching [logic based rational / emotional arguments] here about what you want in the way of rules, because there are screaming wolves from the north about to descend and take over this 2017 competition if you don't get your act together and start posting your thoughts, wishes, and bitches ... RIGHT NOW.
    also your picks if you have any.
    as i write the code if the rules aren't sorted out before the comp starts you will get what you are given. [and if you havent seen a googleplex of wolves you haven't died]

    these are the rules that we are currently using.
    it is possible that everyone will be happy to carry on with these rules as they are.


    1 - no stocks under 1c will be accepted.
    2 - Dividends will be added to return.
    3 - 5 stock picks only.
    4 - no options etc.
    5 - each stock pick will have a weighting of $10,000 (20% of portfolio)... ($50,000 in total for portfolio)...
    so performance can be posted in percentage returns, and/or $ returns.
    6 - entries close at midnight sunday 15th January 2017…
    7 - entry price is the first-traded price from the day following you posting your selections for late comers or the first traded price on the first trading day of the year.
    8 - if one of your picks hasn’t listed or is in suspension at the start of year we will just take the first traded price on the day that it lists or comes out of suspension.
    9 - takeovers will result in a new pick to the contestant, at the adjusted rate.

    if you have less than the full five [if that is the agreed number of tickers] then enter that.

    rule 11. a premium given to early entries eg multiply by 1.01

    Default 2017 competition

    I intend to use one of the current e o d metadata feeds to, in the interim, validate the tickers selected. i will add the ticker in even if it is against any rules as no rules have been decided yet. i shall try to anticipate errors based on the existing rules as a guide.

    But if someone doesn't do something by year end MY rules will apply and the wolves from the north ... [refer previous post]

    Here is a rule suggestion based on the huge market dip just after Jan 1st last year = if entering the competition late the price you get is either the opening price on Jan 1st or the day after your tip, whichever is higher.
