Paired Trade Contest Results and the NEW IMPROVED 2007 Paired Trade Contest

The Lindzon first semi-annual paired trade contest is officially over.

Not close. Andy Swan killed us with his short of Bulletin Board stock MNCS. It is truly amazing how so many of the entrants shorted strength and bought weak stocks. Google was the top short choice. As Cramer would say – WROMG!

Here is Andy’s YODA like entry post:

Long JDSUShort MNCS

Whoops…both are against the trend, and MNCS likely against the “rules” since it’s an OTCBB likely pump and dump…

But I want that broken IPOD!!!

I owe Andy a used iPod and pair of Crocs knockoffs (size 18?). The PRICK just happens to be in town next week from Louisville and will hound me for collection!

Nice job Andy.

Let’s start the next contest. Please post your paired trade NOW!

I will throw in a broken Blackberry with all my contacts as well for this one :) .

UPDATE – as a bonus – please add a web business non public – you are long and one you are short.
