All Treasure Hunting
Who's up for some fun? Maybe test your short-term poor economy investment skills? It'll be either :headbang: or :BangHead:

Here’s how this is going to work for those of you who want to have some fun and test your short term investment skills.

Here’s the rules:
1) Each participant has $25,000 in fantasy money to invest over the outlined twenty-five day period.
2) No participant can invest his money into more then THREE individual short-term investment investments.
3) ALL investments have to be posted by the close of markets on Monday, March 5th.
4) ALL investment purchase prices will be those prices that are reflected as of Market close on March 5th. So even if you post it a day or two before, your purchase price will be the closing price listed at end of Market on March, 5th.
5) The final investment day will be March, 30th, however, since we are short-term investing your selling price will be the highest closing price on any day from March 6th through the close of market on the 30th.
6) In order to keep this simple for everyone, all investments must either be stocks or commodities.

Who’s up for having some Warren Buffet style treasure hunting fun? :laughing9: If we get enough participants we'll play, if we don't......we won't.
 

If I could afford a newspaper I'd play :headbang: :laughing7:

I'll turn that 25,000 into something.. My secret weapon :dontknow:

The good old magic '8' ball :headbang: Either that, or I'll let my cat choose for me :tongue3:

I'm thinking this isn't going to take wings. :laughing9:
 

Most of my money is fantasy money, so I'll play:
$8,000 in shares of MSFT
$9,000 in shares of BAC
$8,000 in shares of KOG

I can't put no feathers on it :-[ So far away from me that I'll just stick to loading the wagons .
Horse drivin in this line of work wouldn't be a good venture for me .

:laughing9:......Yes. That would be correct. However, nothing too serious here, it's just play money and this is just a fun little piece of intenet entertainment that barrowed his well-known investing history & name. :thumbsup:

PS: Jump in and play....have some fun! :thumbsup:
 

I am no good at short term guessing. I usually work the high and low points, you know buy low, sell high. It might take months to win, but its safer than short term guessing.
