  2. Good one.

    Another view which may have already been pointed out, is by having for example 10 accounts, one has 10M to play with rather than 1M. Looks like accounts by Nancy B. were played the same initially and then diversified to other picks later. The accounts that performed better due to better picks, rose to the top while the others faded away. By doing this, a wider range of stock picks could occur.
    All of this is akin to cheating. Disqualification for Nancy is the right thing to do.

    I agree anybody with multiple entries should be banned.
    Don't these assholes at CNBC enforce their own rules?
    Say BYE BYE Nancy!

    I'm getting the same type stuff. Half the orders I did on Friday did not execute and now I have a 170K neg cash balance. How'd that happen?

    I was running somewhere around top 20% now I'm in the top 99%.

    Either I suck or this contest sucks or both.

    Yeah, it's likely the latter.

  9. I wouldn't in my right mind play the stuff I'm playing in this silly game. Although I am guilty on Thursday trying to scalp a couple % on NEW. I do think there will be a 10-15% bounceback in the sub primes next week on any given day. I would kill for a 46% gain over a 2-3 year period...lol

    It's purely a luck and timing competition. This is probably the closest I will get to win any of these 10 weeks. I really think if I had a 5-10% move on either cvtx or kry, I would have placed first this week. I almost chose cmgi going into Friday and that may have done it for me.

    FWIW, I'm all in 1.46M on GMKT on Monday and will dump no matter what it does Monday and mix up 2 or 3 dark horses....maybe bqi or imh for Tuesday.
