Fwiw, I'm all for letting Jack keep his entry and letting us just track his pick on the side.
We can always just make it for US stocks next time.

Really? So if we want to get an update on where everybody is, we look at the spreadsheet and then have to go check to see on another exchange that you can't even trade on (at least through TDA), the price of something in Canadian dollars, convert it to US$, and then figure it out?
I don't find it practical, and I don't understand how we can even talk about stocks traded on the Minsk stock exchange exclusively, or whatever the heck it is

No need to convert anything USD vs CAD though... the % move will be the same - we're not comparing market cap gains and losses. All we'd have to do is on 9/17, see who's winning the contest, and see if Jack's pick beat that % gain-wise.
I mean, I don't care either way. I'm just saying that it wasn't part of the rules, and while we were deciding on it, Jack could've had an entry on something else at a lower price...
Whatever works though.

Minsk exchange had better price arbs this morning but I didn't buy on it.
Whatevs, I give up.
Taj has to deal with it because he won't get pricing updates, and it changes the daily horserace.

(...and if not go w/ 3837shrs FNSR @ 13.03 - $4 BBs which should guarantee me a last place position. LOL!!!

I don't think Jack would mind if he's not on the tracker list - we'd just have to check on 9/17 to see if he did better than the winning person on that list. I doubt Jack will mind either way though - it's up to you guys. Was just throwing my .02 in there

So just put me on that crappo FNSR position and hope that some asshole liberal Federal judge doesn't shoot down Obama's funding to get Broadband out into the hinterland because they don't know how to shoot and kill it there.

It's either the penthouse or the poorhouse for me. Going with 102,040 shares of CVM at .49 for a total of 49,999.60 With the extra 40 cents, I'd like to buy Sloopy an autographed smiling picture of Obama that he can tape over his bed so it's the first thing he sees when he wakes up and the last thing when he goes to sleep!!

Caf's entry should be adjusted to the revised price of 1.69, as it was not trading pre-market but just having the bid/ask adjusted for the open.

I like the standings here after day one. You want to be in the hunt but not leading - no, never lead after day one, it's the kiss of death.
