Some four weeks ago CNBC began their one million dollar investment contest. Since that time, the Dow Jones industrial average has had one of the worst quarterly losses in the last decade. This is wonderful since 60 to 70 percent of the people that signed up when the contest began have portfolios that are underwater, portfolios significantly below the one million dollars allotted when they signed up for the contest. The one million dollars is, of coarse, fictitious; but the person with the highest capital gains at the end of the contest, still eight weeks away, will win an annuity of one million dollars. I have been bedridden with a sore on my foot from my new wheelchair rest, using my bedside computer and DragonDictate to trade. Currently I am in the top 20 percent. If I was able to utilize the computers in my office with the multiple screens, I would probably be somewhat higher. Be this as it may, I have been trading stocks for 21 years, betting on the future movement in the price of a security with technical analysis. For the benefit of my fellow wheelchair-bound companions, I have spent this weekend sifting through 1800 securities to find only those that fit the criteria in the stock challenge. From that list I studied only those companies whose stock did not exceed 15.00 A Share. The reason for this is to capture a large percentage gain which will ultimately decide the winner. On the other hand, the losses will be of a high percentage also. Simply put, you can buy a great deal of shares with a million dollars when the stock price is 10 dollars a share, as opposed to a stock price being over 100 dollars. Go to the CNBC website and join the one million dollar contest. The registration list is very simple with no more than a half dozen questions. Put all your million dollars into any one of the stocks listed below, or divided between different securities. I would not suggest stretching it past two companies, for this contest is simply a hit or miss. The prize last year was a Lamborghini, and that person put all his million dollars into one stock. I would love to see one of us going to the CNBC studio in a wheelchair to collect the prize. Good luck: Peter, 25 Long yrs C/4-C/5 With debilitating neuropeptide pain to boot!
