Thanks for stopping by Matty.  We are seperate from that

Thanks for stopping by Matty.  We are seperate from that other site not only as a site, but as a board.  We do not tolerate bashing, but try to support other investors with alerting picks and providing DD.  Afterall we are united in the common goal of making some money and doing it ethically.  The MVP rules are slightly different (I included our ibox info below).  Check it out and I look forward to you stopping by and participating in future MVP contests.

Investors Hangout MVP's Board Description

Investors Hangout MVP's was created to honor members that pick stocks that close up more than 100% in a given trading day. This board was created to inspire investors to find stocks that will realize huge ROI's. Ideally, we seek stocks whose price per share will continue to rise and/or be sustained for multiple months and years to bring additional value to the investors.

Investos Hangout MVP's Philosophy

We believe that stocks achieving gains of greater than 100% will lead to financial success. Our attempt at recognizing qualified stock picks is to highlight the importance of scanning the markets for future successful publicly traded companies. We acknowledge that due diligence coupled with the right timing can be a key to success. Investing responsibly and studying the markets will foster financial growth and individual success.

IH MVP's Contest Rules

1. The alert must be made on this board beginning 4:01PM ET Friday and prior to the start of trading at 10:00AM ET Monday.

2. Contest picks should include: stock name, current price and any accompanying DD. Please use this format when posting a contest pick: Example - "MVP pick ABCD $0.01 Link to DD or DD text"

3. Members are limited to one (1) contest pick each week and should be posted using the format mentioned in Rule #2. Note: additional picks will not count towards the contest, but may be posted for discussion.

4. The one (1) contest pick will be eligible for the respective week of trading.

5. Contest picks are judged using the alerted price as the baseline.

6. Contest winning stocks must gain 100% at any given point during the week based on the price at alert. Example: ABCD is alerted at $0.01 Monday and is trading at $0.02 Wednesday mid-trading day, since the pick gained equal to or greater than 100% since the stock was alerted this pick will win the contest for that week.

7. There will be only one (1) MVP winner each week. Best percentage gain at any given time during the week, regardless of the end of the week price, above 100% wins MVP contest for the week.

8. Minimum stock price for entry into the contest is $0.0003.

9. Minimum volume for all stocks under $0.001 is 2,000,000 shares. Cheap and low volume shares do not qualify. All moderators will have final word whether the stocks volume is eligible.

10. Manipulation of stocks to win contest is prohibited. All moderators will monitor stock picks for pump and dump schemes, frontloading of stock picks, etc..

11. IH MVP members should remain professional and respectful of other members picks. Discussion is welcome for all picks, but bashing and profanity is prohibited.

12. Each week represents a new contest. Picks should be announced to the board during the hours mentioned in Rule #1.

13. Members may not have the same pick as another member.

14. In the event 2 members post the same pick, the member that had announced it first to the board is granted eligibility for that pick.

MVP Board Member Quotes:

"You can gain more friends by being yourself than you can by putting up a front. You can gain more friends by building people up than you can by tearing them down. And you can gain more friends by taking a few minutes from each day to do something kind for someone, whether it be a friend or a complete stranger. What a difference one person can make!" - Sasha Azevedo
