    My stock pic Sigma Lab SLGB should be around $1.00 not the $12.51 value you assigned.

    Not the same for inverse ETFs (a form of short), sky's the limit.

    Sure, but I have never been a fan of the leveraged investment contest positions. Everyone can buy a deep out of the market option and one guy will win with a %2000 hit.

    I guess your right. The leveraged short is not that much different from the penny stock long.

    All corrections noted and complete. Next update, end of January(ish). Added one player who sent me a screen shot that doesn't show on my screen (weird, yes).

    saudi aramco stock quotes can be had on google. they are in riyals. a currency conversion would need to be done using that day's exchange rate. this is also available on google.
    google saudi aramco stock price
    google sar in usd

    12/31/2019 saudi aramco was at 35.25 sar
    the exchange rate was at 1 USD = 3.7511 SAR (https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/USD-SAR-exchange-rate-history.html)

    I have no idea and can't remember. As such, not having the stats posted, is a moot issue.

    This whole contest is turning out to be a farce. Just like the Mints alleged weekly production figures. Remove my avatar from this nonsense.

    Dude wins it big last year, steps up and Volunteers to run it...
    He'll get to it, if folks are so eager, they can self report

    (If i was short TSLA, I'd be regressin' towards the mean, too 😉) this from a past winner who's also finished in the bottom quintile.

    If you shorted TSLA you owe money YTD.

    Thanks for all da concern. I’m currently super busy, and in terms of figuring this out, it is in the bottom quartile of stuff I need to get done. And when I do get it updated, I’m sure it will be wrong. So please bear with me. I’m on an iPad for another week, so it’s gonna be a bit. I’m pretty certain I’ve got till the end of December to really get it right.....

    limiting selections to stock/etf symbols only would make it a heck of a lot easier on the custodian.
