    Looking for some involvement?

    Are you a user of this board, happy to be here and to profit from all suggestions, and wondering how you could give something back? Here is your chance: the POTW will need a new keeper come April. See this post in the POTW thread.

    What is required? Well, time. Strictly speaking you only need to post the final results each week, but daily results really keep the interest going. The grabbing of the daily close prices is largely automated, but you will need to look for entries and exits by players by hand. Past Keepers of the POTW will be glad to help you out with their spreadsheets and advice.

    Currently intraday entries and exits are allowed, but you, as Keeper of the POTW, may disallow them, and generally change the rules of the POTW as you please, as long as it remains a Pick(s) of the Week contest. You will be judge and jury, and executioner too, in your very own jurisdiction.

    If you find you have the time and inclination, by all means embellish your reports as much as you want, but that is not the point of keeping the POTW and not necessary. It is much appreciated, but it may cost so much more time that the whole experience might go sour on you. So that is way down the list.

    The participants in the POTW (who always welcome more competition, by the way) are breathlessly awaiting your announcement that you will be their (hopefully benevolent) tyrant for as long as you please.

    No, you didn't miss your chance to get involved. We still need a keeper/benevolent dictator for the POTW from April on. (I guess that means a start on March 31.) Reply here or in the POTW thread!

          I'm with Jiesen here, AWESOME!

          But we need more AWESOME, and where else would we find it but on this HUGE forum. We're desperately in need for someone to lead the POTW. As the current keeper says: it's been a ton of fun! You all should try it

            It is loads of fun! I would do it again, but I am only going to be in town for a week in April. Maybe some other month for me....

              OK, whoever you are, haven't you kept us in suspense long enough now? This week we need a new scorekeeper/benevolent dictator for the POTW. If you want to be very popular (even more than you are now) and want to be very truly run after, pick up where Jiesen left off!

                If you guys still wanna hold competition, I'll volunteer to manage the spreadsheet and make a writeup each weekend for the results. I also want to change the rules a bit more to my liking if you don't mind (sounds like a fair trade).

                  Whosoever steps up to the challenge of organizing the (or a) competition owns the whole thing, rules and all. Work it out, present it, and may you acquire a loyal following.
