The real value of GuruFocus.com is not just our industry-leading research tools and real-time Guru data. As a hub for value-minded investors, we have gathered thousands of the most talented retail and institutional value investors in the world.
To this community of stock pickers we are excited to announce that we are re-launching the Value Idea Contest.
The awards
All qualifying submissions will receive $100.
If your stock doubles inside of 12 months, GuruFocus will pay you another $1,000.
Update: The stock must be doubled at 12 months. In other words, it must go up, stay up and be up one year from the date of its publication.
(Payments delivered monthly via PayPal)
Qualifications
To qualify for the contest, your article must meet the following requirements:
1. Idea must be thoroughly researched and cover the following areas:
- Company history and business
- Financial strength
- Management
- Valuation
- Risks
- Outlook
2. The idea must be long-term and value-oriented.
4. The same idea must not have been submitted for the contest within the previous six months.
5. The writing is exclusive to GuruFocus, but authors can post an abstract other places and link to the GuruFocus article.
6. The idea may not be a "penny stock," i.e., it must be trading over $1 per share at the time of submission. (This is to prevent speculation, manipulation and so forth.)
Only articles meeting these criteria will be considered.
