Stock Trading VI, 2nd Update

Posted by Blain Reinkensmeyer on Thursday May 24, 2007

Heading into the last day of trading for Stock Trading VI the contest, the leader board is seeing new faces as the NASDAQ took a hit today.

Contestants participated in one or more of the following categories:

  • One Guess of the NASDAQ Composite Close, this upcoming Friday May 25th.
  • One Stock Pick for the week
  • One Short Pick for the week

Also there is a $200 cash prize for anyone who can correctly guess the NASDAQ Close… to the penny!

Give it up for our blog community participants: Million Dollar Journey (MDJ), Clever Dude (CD), and Money Matter & More Musings (MMM), and your host, the community here of Stock Trading 101 (ST101).

And here are the leader boards for Thursday, May 24th.
