Posting Contest:
We’re going to have a posting contest on Short Screen’s message boards.
First the prizes, and then the rules.
Prizes:
1st Prize is $100 in gift cards to Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar.
2nd Prize is a copy of Michael Lewis’s new book, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine.
3rd Prize is you’re fired1.
How this will work:
1) Register for Short Screen’s message boards, if you’re not registered already. It’s free and it takes 30 seconds. You just need to enter an e-mail address and pick a user name.
2) Sign in and post intelligent comments on Short Screen’s message boards. Your comments can be bullish or bearish.
3) If you are a premium member of the site, take a moment to rank new comments.
Rules:
1) We add up your posts and comments at the end of the day on Thursday, May 6th and multiply that number by your average star rating. Deleted posts won’t be counted2.
2) Whoever has the highest number (# of posts X average star rating) in two weeks wins.
3) If you are posting from outside the U.S., and you win, I may substitute locally feasible prizes of similar value.
4) No purchase necessary, void where prohibited, etc.
More about Short Screen’s Message Boards:
The goal of Short Screen’s message boards is simple: No bull – just intelligent commentary from savvy investors. Unlike other stock message board systems, there is no bias there against bearish comments. Another difference is the premium ranking system. Premium members have the authority to rank comments on a scale from one to five stars. Comments that have an average rank of less than two stars after several votes will be deleted2, and the highest-ranked comments will move to the top. We limit this authority to premium members to discourage anyone from creating multiple accounts in order to manipulate the ranking system.
