We’re adding a little something to this year’s stock contest. First, we will allow more than the usual 64 contestants, by creating more brackets. And, most importantly, we’re giving away $1,000 to the winner. Second prize gets to pick one prize from the crap in our merchant store.
Before the end of the week, RC will do a post, laying down the rules. However, in order to keep this contest distinguished and without trickery, it will be open to PPT MEMBERS ONLY. It’s all part and parcel of my unwavering plight to give back to the little people. So, if you’re not a member and want to win $1,000, quit being such a piker and buy your seat (PPT membership) to play.
Developing…
CLARIFICATION: This is NOT a fucking basketball contest. Each player chooses one stock for the entirety of the tournament. After 1 business week, the persons with the highest percentage gains advances to the next round, until we have 1 winner. Get it?

A contest? This is great! Nice work Fly, good stuff here at iBC.
We do it every year. But this will be the first cash giveaway. Maybe next year we will give away 5k.
So you know, I won the first annual contest, shit that legends are made from.

i meant pick
You should make the prize 100k to protect your reputation.
That would be stupid.
Indeud.
The Egyptian Uprising Proof is a given for 2nd place.
A fine collectors item.
Great! Is that V.King in the 12631 shirt?
That’s MDA

Where’s the ladies clothing section? I can’t be seen in a big boxy t-shirt.
From the looks of your avatar I’m guessing baggy t shirt isn’t your style. Lol
ALL GARMENTS ARE UNISEX.
You gotta tell whose modeling the pelican t shirt. Jake? RC?
RC
That was my first guess
MDA is modeling one of them.
Alan Greenspan is in the VXX shirt.
Had to be RC. I kept ripping through them every time I twitched or flexed — green-skinned Hulk-style.

Hey, I see you have one of my friends as your featured video tonight. It is so much fun to be able to say that. BTW Shanghai Comp not seeing the Gap Up it did last year on its return from New Years Party so far. Those estimates of Copper, Ore, etc that all the analyst have for China restocking….ahhh may be not as bullish as they think it will be. Yet, gossip is that Euro buyers are out there and strong, not sure why are there, probably just to piss me off.
hey nympho,good call on that rate hike in china. i must say.
Actually I was off one day, thought it would be Sunday/Monday…China Govt was slapping their own by doing it on Tuesday.
unlike my stock picks.. DO NOT follow my march madness picks… i am notoriously terrible at this.
prize for getting every selection wrong?
razz march madness rules?
Teapot — you are thinking of RC’s basketball pool. This is a stock contest. You just pick a stock like its a team and it “competes” every week. So you need to pick stocks that are strong, but not volatile.
Like Villanova or something.

I see, I retract my statement declaring how terrible I will be at this.
I didn’t know the nuances.
Third place you’re fired.
AGU smashed estimates.
FLY WINS AGAIN

What was the thesis for buying this name? I thought it was because Carl Icahn owned it which is still the case.
But now no one wants to own it?

Anyone read this Nokia’s CEO letter…sounds like something big is coming on Friday – maybe a breakup of the company? Might be worth a trade.
