I may give it a go, as long as dial-up is not to difficult to make it feasible.

What would 1/2 million do for my photography?

I sometimes wonder what an extra 1/2 thousand would do for me.

<Laughing> I know exactly what you mean. I just had my stimulas check commandeered by my better half. <sigh> (so much for my photography dreams)

I'm registered now and waiting for my $100,000 of "play money" to get started.

Woo hoo, I'm still in the top 78% after a day of trading.

(If I hope to win anything, I'll have to pick up the pace.)

A Texan from Round Rock is in the top 25, in fact only Texan in the top 25.

Top 95% today. That feels better.

UPDATE: Well still in the top 89%. I'm just glad it's not actual money that I'm losing. Especially when it was announced on national news this morning that it's time to sell to prepare for an inevitable bear market in which investors will need at least 20% of their cash on hand before it starts.

Note: I've been surprised how well Canon stock has performed. Nikon is not available for the contest but I may need to begin watching both and prepare for a genuine investment.

It is still possible to enter. Contest dates: May 12, 2008 – July 18, 2008
Top portfolio is slightly above 2 million.

my energy stocks are doing well. hope to make it to the 1.9 million club in next few days.

Your doing pretty good, Adam. That must be in the top 95%.

That may be where I messed up. I should have split energy with financials. One day the energy does good but the financials drag it down and visa versa. I could open another account but have dial-up and that's killing my chances more than the stocks themselves I believe. A couple of weeks to go. Maybe I can make a risky call and double my money at the end.

Good luck!
