Killmer: Well You're beating me... maybe they will adjust my rank, but I am down to
1,031,??? and they still rank me in top 8%. Had I NOT sold anything (or tried buying any
of my losers) I would have made about 2 grand so far. Puny, really in comparison to what
is needed to win.

I use s stock screener I have on the smartmoney.com site that allows me to enter certain
parameters to identify stocks. That's how I get a list of 500-900 million market cap
stocks. Yahoo finance might have a screen to use or your on-line broker. :)

sophia: had a few bad day at the start of game this is my first time picking stocks big
learning curve to over come but think i'm doing okay
as of friday portfolio is Valued at $1,049,243.18 rank 40148 top 13% down $ 8200 on friday
an still in same place. now have total return of 4.92% from start of game.

does any one know where to get list of stocks that had 500m mkt cp on 03/02/2007. getting
hard to keep track of them the way the market has been these days

killmerfl: You have a 5.45% gain overall and are in the top 13%?? Well, get this. I have a
3.19% total return and I'm in the top 8%. Now go figure.

Me, too really. I've got a few going now too and getting a idea of how to handle them (I
think).

I now have 7 portfolios. ROTFLMAO But I think the shotgun approach is less effective every
week and though it could get you into a weekly win situation, as you are limited to one
portfolio in the finals, you have to have a more evolved system.

Still working on the how to get past the dwindling chances of simply throwing a 100 darts
one day to catapult to a weekly win to evolving a way to consistently make big gains. LOL

I am in the top 8% which doesn't mean didldy squat as there are about 2 thousand
portfolios are ahead of my growing nursery of highly neglected beaten down wouldn't
otherwise touch them with a ten foot pole single digit high betas normally used by funds
to whip retail day in day out. ROTFLMAO

For a game this is fun, and funny too. And don't you also think CNBC's approval of
multiple portfolios is simply an outright acknowledgment that the market actually does
reward cheating with approvals, that is so long as you don't get caught violating a rule
you can't bend through turning logic on its' head.

I am enjoying the absolute craziness of it all.^^^^

i'm at Rank 40148 (Top 13%) from 70k or 27% in one day i'm up 3.68% this week 5.45%
overall seem the higher up you go the larger the $ amount between each raking

Holy cow 24% total return! Seablood: all you have to do is win one week; $10,000 for the
largest percentage gain each week. If not this week then next week!

Yup I'm still in: a glutton for punishment. Standing: 22,7?? !! The more new portfolios
added the better my position. Wadda way to move up, but it sounds good... Bet on IMOS and
lost but luckily not destroyed...

Too bad about xxia HD.

It's no fun to play in a contest if there's not a snowball's chance in hell of winning. If
the cheating continues I'm out. There's no sense in forcing myself to give up my carefully
developed trading discipline in order to throw darts at stocks when cheaters know how to
cheat better that I ever will .

I've stayed in the game and as of March 15 I'm back in the top 1% at 500 with 24.10% total
return. My big jump was due to buying SAPE on tuesday and selling it wednesday.
