Hi folks,

I am starting the CanadianMoneyForum Stock Picking Contest for May

It's simple. Here are the rules:
- Pick two Canadian stocks by replying to this thread. Long Positions.
- Picks are made by entering ticker symbol and company's name if not obvious.
- Last day to enter contest is May 5, 2009
- Contest is open to 25 people, 50 stocks
- Contest will end May 29, 2009 using that day's closing price.
- The contest winner is the one that pick the biggest percentage gain for the month
- Only Canadian Stocks
- You are allowed to pick the same stock as someone else however on tiebreaker the person that picked the stock first wins.
- I'll keep track of everyone picks using Google Finance Spreadsheet
- I'm a Google Finance fan. Please use Google ticker symbol if possible. ie. T.TO (Telus) for Toronto Stock Exchange and PCQ.V for Toronto Ventures

Looking good. So far we have 14 stock picks.

I've added the Contest Spreadsheet to include live current prices when markets are open and fundamentals data for each company.

good idea you have going here Dave

I would like to make a suggestion or really a request, that those listed on the spreadsheet, when you click on the symbol they open up the chart on each one

is it possible for you to do that for us?
