Subject: Selecting stocks for the Wikinvest entires and the Stock Pitch Competition Date: 1/28/2011
Dear FI414 students,
Described below is the procedure on how you will submit stock selections for the Wikinvest entries and the Stock Pitch Competition.
Send emails to: FI414.HUANG@gmail.com
Submissions of stock selections will be accepted in four waves.- Wave 1 (starting 01/31/2011, 5.00pm): Team Wiki entry #1
- Wave 2 (starting 02/07/2011, 5.00pm): Stock selection for the Competition
- Wave 3 (starting 02/14/2011, 5.00pm): Team Wiki entry #2
- Wave 4 (starting 03/14/2011, 5.00pm): Student individual Wiki entry
Note: - Pay attention to the starting times. Early submissions are deemed invalid.
- Check the course website for requirements on Wikinvest and the Stock Pitch Competition.
- Read them. You can't win a game without knowing the rules.
- The starting of one Wave is not the deadline for the previous Wave.
- That is, if you haven't sent in your team's stock selection for Wikinvest entry #1 by 2/07/2011 (the starting time for Wave 2), it won't be a problem.
- So long as you can finish your project by 03/04/2011 (the deadline for Team Wiki entries #1).
- The starting of a new Wave simply means that your chance of securing your ideal choice stocks will get smaller
- As a new wave of stock selections start to flood in.
- Here is an incomplete list (Excel file) of U.S. stocks the Wikinvest entries of which remain empty as of 02/04/2011.
- I will not update the list in the future. Always double check the Wikinvest website for a stock's eligibility.
- You don't necessarily need to choose from the list.
- A team is allowed, but doesn't need, to pitch the same stock for which the team is writing a Wikinvest entry.
- However, a team is not allowed to pitch a stock that has been chosen by other teams or FI414 students for their Wikinvest entries.
- On the course website, I will provide updates on what stocks have been chosen by teams and students.
- Before send in your selection, check this page first to see whether someone else has taken your desired stock.
Important deadlines:- 03/04/2011 (i.e. before Spring Break):
- Completion of Team Wikinvest entry #1
- 04/27/2011 (i.e., last class):
- Completion of Individual Wikinvest entry as well as Team Wikinvest entry #2
- Final version of team Research Report (part of the requirement for the Stock Pitch Competition).
- Stock Pitch Competition will be hold on three days:
- 3/21/2011 (Team 1, 2, 3)
- 3/23/2011 (Team 4, 5, 6, 7)
- 3/28/2011 (Team 8, 9, 10).
Let me know if you have any questions.
