    No entry fee,no downside other than a serious reality check,and myths will be shattered....

    I know $1,000,000 isnt much to you big swinging dicks,but there is no downside,so the excuses should be limited...

    Last years winner put up Jack Hershey type returns of 400% in apx eight weeks.....

    There are some restaints regarding the trading rules,but as the frog in the Geico commercial eloquently states,If someone offered you the chance at $1,000,000 with no risk,would you say No thanks,I dont like the rules??

    Whose in??

    A guy puts up 400% in 8 weeks and he deserves his due credit.I do agree with you that the restictions are a pain in the ass...

    None the less,for a shot at $1,000,000,I would find a way to adjust my parameters and take the shot......

    You are the official contributor to EXCUSE #1....

    keep them coming
     
  5. Ripley? Calling Ripley? Here is your chance to demonstrate your skills!:D

    I just kidding man. I hope you get your fund started.:)
     
  6. how much gain per week may get a realistic shot at winning 10K given the limitations?
     
  7. You mean Jack Hershey IMAGINARY returns... the last time I know of that he entered a trading contest, he finished LAST with -24%... I've posted the link before. You won't see Jack or any of his followers entering this!
