Stock Trading VI Final Results

Blain has posted the final update to the Stock Trading VI contest. Clever Dude had one reader place among the three contests. Here are the final results. I’ve highlighted Shawn who was the #3 guess for the NASDAQ closing price this past Friday. The abbreviations (MDJ, CD, etc.) are the communities:
