    So everyone get your picks ready by JAN 12th
    is this pick allowed? Technically, it trades on the pink sheets because its a foreign owned company. If it doesn't qualify, I'll take HMC even though its a little expensive right now and I'm hoping to buy it on sale again in January (most likely right after the deadline for entries).

        IIC you might as well send me next years prize now also.

        Tatnic, Grebnet, why do you have to get all complicated already? It's really a simple rule- if it's on the NASDAQ, Amex or NYSE it's fair game, otherwise no. You can't pick .OB or .PK stocks. Even excellent canadian uranium miners, if they are only traded in Canada, won't do anyone here any good unless they have a Canada-friendly brokerage account. So both of you, kudos for being early on these, but unless FRPT is trading on the NASDAQ by Jan 12, you will need to find new picks. I'm sorry, but like Rob says, once I make an exception to the rules, I'll have to be making them all the time.

        Also, here's the first remider for everyone:

        Get your picks in for the New Year by close of market (4:00pm EST)

        JAN 12th

          I will take HMC as your pick, come Jan 12, unless you change your mind between now and the deadline. At that time, all picks will be final, and prior to that, any changes can be made by posting a new message clearly stating that you want your pick changed (interpretation will be my call). An example of an acceptable way to do it:

          Change my pick from QQQQ short to DIA long. (yes, if you want to be boring you can play these- and only one person is allowed to play each pick)

          another good one is:
          Forget about my previous pick, gimme AOB long instead!

          but please don't post this:
          I think I'll take KKD.PK

          A post like the last one above, without sufficient clarification before the deadline, will most likely end up disqualifying your entry.

                Great picks, both. I'm assuming you mean long, and unless you tell me otherwise, that's how you'll be entered. Hmm, that means the BRKB shares are still available for anyone who thinks those will do better than the A's next year or is content to be like two "peanuts" in a pod...

                    I don't have a canook account but I have a boat load of that stock....I thought I mentioned that its american symbol is mgaff.pk...which means you can buy it here in the good ol usa. But no matter, if the rules say no pink slips or bulletin board stuff then I'll find another one.
