I know zero about the stock market. But, I thought I'd at least try to research a little just for fun. Gawd, WTF is the problem with google & yahoo. All of my searches kept coming up with garbage that has nothing to do with what I wanted to find out. Total garbage, mostly advertising. This never happens when I want to research Tom Brady's passing stats or whatever. WTF.

Dude, you might want to repick. Need at least $1B market cap. Here's yours: Market Cap: 140.97M

I saw a few others that were under the market cap but forgot which ones. Double check if you're not sure. I'm sure you'll be disqualified if you're under the $1B.

Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) ... going to announce free refills

They are soon going to have $1 coffee on their menu, McDonalds has taken some of their coffee business from them.

So they are fighting back

[picantel]

Is there a sticky or something somewhere showing who has what picks and the price on the 21st? Thread is getting buried.

[Poker_Beast]

Sucks that I missed this contest, good luck all who entered.

[Red_Sux]

[picantel]

Another bump. Heya John can you post the players and the prices they started out with maybe in the contest section. thx

[Dark Horse]

Let's extend the contest to a five stock portfolio, and increase the prize money by a similar margin.

[pavyracer]

The stock MBIA was up over 80%, that is probably your leader.

[Iwinyourmoney]

The guy who picked MBI didn't follow the rules.

In this thread you must put a company name and a stock symbol.

[slacker00]

The guy who picked MBI didn't follow the rules.

Wow. Talk about nitpicking. But, by the letter of the rules, you're right. lmao

If this disqualifies the guy, helluva bad break, IMO.

But, yeah, I guess I can see it, either way.

This didn't quite work out how I had hoped.
