Have you guys worked out the word puzzle from Sharenet as to how their competition works

How does it work

"Simply register, then pick 5 stocks at any point in each month, from April to November 2016, and you'll be in with a chance of winning"

Here's the confusion
1)You may pick a maximum of 5 stocks over the duration of the competition being run from April to November? O:-)
2)You can pick 5 stocks at anytime during the month and repeat this over the period April to November O:-)
3) You may pick a stock a month anytime during the month but may not exceed 5 stocks over the duration of the competition
4)You may select 5 stocks and purchase all 5 in the month of April and hold them for the duration of the competition
5) extension of 4 above but you can sell one of your 5 stocks purchased, but can't buy until the preceding month

The rules seem to be expected to be interpreted as the author wrote the rules, and not by the author trying to ensure no misinterpretation of the rules - some say that's singing from the same hymn book, I prefer to look at it and say confusing script, confused mind
Hope forumites interpret the rules like the author want you to without confusion, as I am indeed confused

You can pick five different stocks or you can choose to double-up on one or two of them. Once your stocks are chosen you won't be able to make any further changes for that month, so do your research and make sure you're happy with your choices

So my question still stands - can I purchase all 5 stocks in April and sit it out until the end of the competition with the self same stocks in my portfolio?

No, it resets per month, the heading is per month "You can pick your shares for the month at any time during the month.The price of the share you pick will be entered into your stock picks at the time and date of picking or, if outside of market hours, when the markets reopen. For this reason it's important to make your choice carefully based on what the markets are doing. It is also possible to pick shares a month in advance but these will only be activated at the first market opportunity in the new month.

At the end of each month your points will be tallied up and the best performing portfolio will be that month's winner. Your points will also be added towards the final GRAND PRIZE. So choose your strategy carefully.

OK so based on your responses this is a one hit a month wonder type of competition - research is not a factor whatsoever - but knowledge of how the croupier spins the wheel is important
