I think we should continue the contest as 100 shares of each, and use the % at the bottom of the SI portfolio's. It makes this game unique and forces people to think outside of their boxes.

Thanks for your hard work, Scott, I realize it hasn't been easy, and this is the first one like you said. I've found tracking down information in the forum to be a weak point and think it would be great if a web pages were devoted to the faqs & the results (and perhaps a sortable list or spreadsheet of all the portfolios -- if time ever permits!).

FYI, it is possible to use the SI portfolio tracker and still give an even weighting to all stocks, by making each purchase the same dollar amount (like I do in real life, more or less). However, if I were in your shoes, I'd hesitate to set that up because of how many errors I've been hearing about with the simple 100 shares per stock rule. Still, you could hold people to doing it right or exclude them, and examples would certainly pave the way for most.

Scott: Glad to see some finality to the "rules". I was beginning to lose all respect for this contest. Whatever arguments might suggest, IMHO, just stick to the original rules with the simplest interpretation thereof. (KISS Principle)

Being a Canadian, what do you think of these rules:

I have the solution to making the next contest fair. Each contestant will start with a fixed amount of money. (say 10k). Whoever has the most money at the end wins and obviously picked the best stocks. Each person determines how they split the money. You could buy equal shares of each stock, equal $ amounts, or any variation thereof.

Your solution would also be easy to track, using the portfolio % gain just like the current contest. It would be a portfolio picking contest (and should be named as such), not a stock picking contest, but why not.

Scott,

It appears that all the profiles on SI have disappeared.

Thanks!
