In this first of its kind multi blogger battle royal, things continue to be shakin up with the rankings changing literally over night! If you are just joining us for stock contest alpha, brought together were 6 blog communities (including us here) and their readers. Participants left comments on all 6 blogs stating one stock pick and what they thought the Nasdaq index would close at on today, Friday the 13th! I have been tracking not only the top stock picks from this past Monday to today, but also the closest Nasdaq close guess and the best community overall (avg of all picks together)!

Participating Blogs

derrich.com, milliondollarjourney.com, thetaoofmakingmoney.com, cleverdude.com, investoid.com, and us here at falkininvesting.com/blog.

Top Stock Picks (as of market close 04/12/07)

1. Frugal Trader from milliondollarjourney.com, AUA.V is up 8.68%!
2. Stacie from cleverdude.com, GE is up .46%
3. Austin from stock trading 101, XOM is up .25%

Top Community Averages (as of market close 04/12/07)

1. The investoid.com community sits in first with a .61% Avg Return

3. And in third is the milliondollarjourney.com community with a -1.48% Avg Return

Closest Nasdaq Close Guess (NASDAQ closed at 2480.32 on 4/12/07)

1. TIED in 2nd with guesses of 2475, Stingy Joe from milliondollarjourney.com and GirlRobot from cleverdude.com (off by 5.32)!!

3. And in 3rd with a guess of 2471.34, Investoid from investoid.com (off by 8.98)

This is a pretty good change up from the last stock contest alpha update. The next and final update is coming on SUNDAY, where I will be announcing the winners in all three categories. The best of the best award will go to the community with the most top three finishes points. Each 1st place finish will earn a community 3000 points, 2nd 2000 points, and third 1000 points. The community with the most points overall is declared the ULTIMATE WINNER.
