OK. Cool. Three of us so far. I had a website in mind but I don't know if a mod will let me put the link. Its a free website if that matters at all.

I'm out my kndi by the way. Had a 1.2 gain , ended up losing 70 cents.

I was joking about that. I've not really tailed anything in here for ages, does me too much of a disservice in terms of learning. I do prefer seeing how some of you arrive at some of your conclusions though.

ok here is the contest i set up,,, the site looks good , only downside is that it wont let us see what we each hold (in which case we can use open passwords) . I initially set it til 12/31/15 and I think its the best time frame.. it would be an A+ if holdings were transparent at all times. can one of you guys see if im missing something, or if there is an option for that ? here is the link

$35 per trade and no options or futures!? How can I possibly succeed in this one.

I live in Southern California. I just installed solar. I have a 8 year simple payout that is guaranteed by the vendor.. This is a tax free 12% return. Seems like a good investment to me. Yes this is after the 30% Federal tax credit.

My pick to to win it all ^^^^^

I want to play too. Shouldn't we set this up so we can see each other's trades though? Or devise a system?

Pointless exercise if we can't see trades. Why not do it in a 2p2 contest thread? Then we can sweat and comment and discuss trades. Post real time entry/exit, price and position size. Someone can update rankings and holdings weekly/monthly, it's a simple spreadsheet. I could even write a parsing script in 20 minutes to do it if people stick to a format. Example:

BOUGHT: 1000 AAPL @ $113.2
SOLD: 500 AAPL @ $116.5

And we can also include options and futures which is hard to do elsewhere.

There also needs to be a prize at the end, like money or an undertitle or an exile of someone else in the contest the winner doesn't like.

How would you be able to cheat on the spreads? Do you get to just pick your fills?!?

No point in even bothering. Paying $70 roundtrip is crazy enough to make me basically never make a trade. I'm just going to put in a portfolio tomorrow and let it run for the year.

I'm in. If we can all scour the net. I am sure we can find something. I am sure the developers of that site can easily have done it so positions could be showed real time or worst case. Eod
