If you like calculating and taking risks - especially when you have nothing at all to lose, I encourage you to enter Motley Fool's, CAPS Champion of the World Contest (prizes awarded quarterly.)
According to Motley Fool:
To be eligible for the quarterly prize, you need to (i) rate at least one Official CAPS Champion of the World Contest Idea each quarter and (ii) at least one stock from the International Stocks tag that you find on your own each quarter as well. These ratings may be either outperform or underperform, and your rating of the Official Contest Idea does not have to be the same as the outlook pitched by our team (we love dissent at Global Gains). Once rated, these picks cannot be ended.
Contest Entry Deadline: May 13, 2010. Full Contest Details; summary of contest (for entrepreneurs to busy to read the fine print).
Scott, I think that the objective is not to be the champion of business. In my opinion business are a personal challenge, it is about you trying to success your personal goals.
What do you think?
You make a very good point – setting and achieving goals is success. If we (as the contest seems to indicate) only measure success in terms of money and risk taking, it makes “success” seem sort of shallow and ill-defined!
