Each Friday, during market hours, pick five stocks from the pharmaceutical industries and predict whether each will go up or down by close of the next Friday market day. (You can tell if a stock is OK for the contest by whether the symbol you type shows up in the contest auto-suggest textbox). All players who rank #1 in total prediction accuracy will receive a virtual silver trophy cup for their trophy case - which gets you into later championships. One #1 ranked player will also win a $600 cash prize (determined by drawing in case of a tie).
