Note for Colin: Weekend stuff ... some food for thought ???

Was going to post this under the weekly challenge to add
to the discussion, about the further evolution of the
trading challenges, but the thread has disappeared for
some reason (???) .....

... anyway, given the interest in the trading challenges on
Aussie trading forums, a year-round format like the US site
below, dedicated to Aussie stocks, would surely be a winner
for both traders and advertisers ..... yes???

=====

Hi folks,

Up front, this is part of a mini-brag, really ..... :-)

Simulated trading in completely foreign markets, using
our own trading systems is a good test of our trading
strategies.

Now on this end, we know NOTHING about the fundamentals
of US stocks ..... but, here's a fun way to learn and earn
something from the US markets using e$$$, which is the
equivalent of monopoly money in cyberspace.

An easy way, to earn enough ebucks to start trading on
the simulator is to enter their trading contests, which
have been very kind to us this month !~!

.... 2 wins in the past two weeks in their weekly challenges
and second so far, in their monthly contest for April ... !~!

For example, our entry CMO, has been doing well this week,
in their monthly competition ..... !~!

http://ironfortress.net/pages/vetelmos-monthly-challenge-leaderboard.php

..... and the results for our 2 weekly wins can be found,
on pages 52 and 54, at:

http://www.einvesting.com/viewtopic.php?p=30155#30155

-----

Trading in the weekly challenge is a little more difficult
than in the Aussie contests, as both entry price and volume
criteria must be met, before the stock is entered in the race!!

-----

have a great weekend

Hi folks,

Our weekly entries RBY and NWD have come home
in 2nd and 3rd places, respectively.

Our current weekly entry is ZTM, but has yet to
qualify, with sufficient volume for a start.

-----

MWY entry in the monthly competition has started out, with a gap-up on the first day for us ... very encouraging ... :-)

(What industry is this company in ... ???)

..... and we scraped into the top 5 on the simulator
for the first trading day of July 2006

happy days

Hi folks,

MWY has done enough to hold a comfortable lead, as
we near the halfway mark, in the monthly competition ...

Posted: 13 Jul 2006 22:08

1st Yogi +12.61% ..... :-)

2nd T-Bag +6.95
3rd Im Not WB +5.61%
4th Nelaina +3.34%

The rest of us are in the red. One remarkable thing to point
out is that Rykardes pick is having an exceptionally poor
month and is at -42.09%

-----

Let's see if MWY can kick again, before the end
of this month.

-----

Also in second place on the trading simulator,
at present ... :-)

have a great weekend

Hi folks,

.... and back on the US trading simulator, our pick in the 2007 1 Million e$ Contest,
where we had ONE stock pick for the 2007 calendar year .....

..... so far, our DRL pick has returned a lazy 514%, to put us in 2nd spot,
behind FSLR ... and the year has not ended, yet !~!

Time cycles suggest, that both FSLR and DRL will come home strongly ...
particularly around 6th and 10th December 2007 = highs???
