One week until 2013 IH MVP Portfolio Challenge Begins, Submit your 5 picks today:

The MVP board is pleased to announce a new contest scheduled to run throughout 2013.  The 2013 MVP Portfolio Challenge.

Rules:

1.  Each MVP member picks up to 5 stocks, from any exchange and any combination of exchanges, to create an MVP portfolio.  (note: index funds and mutual funds are not eligible)

2.  Contest picks will be accepted until 11:59PM ET Sunday, January 6, 2013.

3.  The contest begins Monday, January 7, 2013 (the first full trading week in 2013).

4.  The contest ends Friday, December 20, 2013 (the last full trading week in 2013).

5.  Each member is allowed one portfolio.

6.  Alert price is based on the opening price Monday, January 7, 2013, as pre-market trading may occur prior to the opening bell January 7th.

7.  Portfolio gains will be calculated by adding up the individual gains from each stock within the portfolio to create one percentage.

8.  2 MVP awards will be handed out:

- 1st MVP Award - winner based on the high for each stock in 2013.  OTC stocks with quick gains that may not sustain pps may be a good option for attempting to win this MVP award.

- 2nd MVP Award - winner based on the percentage gains from opening price Jan. 7th to closing price on Dec. 20th.  Big Board stocks that better sustain pps may be a good option for attempting to win this MVP award.

Note:  you do not have to declare the award you are attempting to win...do consider your strategy prior to alerting your 5 stocks.

I hope to see everyone submitting their portfolio for this MVP contest.  Please submit all the picks in one post and make a note that they are picks for the MVP portfolio challenge.  I will produce individual webpages on 247invest4wealth.com so you can track your own portfolio and one page will show rankings.  Let me know if there are any questions.  Good luck!
