    March Madness Stock Pickers Tournament

    Mr. Market,
    You had the idea. Lets see how many teams will enter the March Madness Stock Pickers Tournament. Pick your five best stocks (players) no substitutes allowed. Play starts as of opening prices Thursday March 18 and ends as of closing price Monday April 5th coincidentally the same dates as the NCAA basketball tournament. The entry fee is ten units of the finest meats and cheeses. All units will be paid out to the winners. If you can't afford the fee borrow it from Mr. Market his refrigerators and storage facilities are overflowing and he's so bound up from eating cheese wheels that his bricks are breaking his toilet tanks. Make sure your players have the fundamentals. Technicals are encouraged.
    Each stock starts with a stake of $2000 play money with a total of $10000 per team. Total high dollar amount as of market closing Monday April 5th will win the units of fine meats and cheeses provided by entry fees.
    Even the losers will win fine consolation prizes. Last place finisher wins the Kenneth Lay " I don't know nothin' about anything" award. Runner up loser gets the Joe Granville memorial "the sky is falling" award.
    Remember to post your 5 here before the market opens Thursday March 18th. Having perfected my stock picking model after years of trial and error I'll post the Billyjoe University team 5 along with some biographical info in the next couple of days. Watch out for my darkhorse center who just happens to be on leave from the middle east. I swear he really is a student at BJU.

            Scifos,
            Sorry only one team per person. My boys are gathering from the branch campuses as we speak. Final cuts only two days away.

                    Alright, the big man himself has entered the contest. It's all coming together. Sound trucks are pulling into the market. Billy Packrat, chief analyst for the MMBC network (Mr. Market Broadcasting Corp.) will be here later this afternoon with some preliminary comments. We're hoping to have enough teams to fill 4 regional brackets. Mention which region you'd like to represent when entering. Some adjusting will have to take place. One good thing, no one will be eliminated until the very end. I've got a surprise coach that might just give me the added stuff to win it all. Trash talk is encouraged.

                      Jiesen, Are gush.ob and ualaq.ob the same as gush (otcbb) and ualaq (otcbb)?. Just checking to make sure I can track the results. Thanks,

                      P.S. I'm tempted to say that your "out of my ass 5" picks really stink , but I wont.

                          yup

                          that's right, they're the same. And thanks for not saying that. Phil Jackson could learn a lot from you.

                              Of course! With the current state of the board, this looks like something I could do in my sleep, too!
