I don't think we should be too concerned about aberrations such as these - this competition runs for another 6 1/2 months and I can't see the share maintaining this level through to end December. Also the person who picked these shares has a quandary in future months as they will get 100,000 per month going forward, will they invest in the same counter at the higher price or sit in cash - if they buy in at the higher price they could take a large smack when the price returns to 2 cents. This person is playing in the penny stock realms and as such may well experience the real worth of investing in some of those categories as penny stocks. The important thing is that this is a competition and it is to test your ability to invest over an extended period, penny stocks don't give you that, so we should just sit back and watch how the speculators do manage i this competition. There is no need to change the rules for the competition as they stand at present (though I am still of the opinion that one should be permitted to sell out of one counter either fully or partially once a quarter - called taking profits off the table)
