Tip
Announcing the first prizes! This is just the beginning guys, we're giving away more than $18,000 of prizes in total as part of our 10-year celebration!
The first five members beginning
NOW Friday June 21 @ 9:00PM ET US that write new posts that meet the following conditions below, will receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card:
a) Only posts created after now (see the time of this post) will count.
b) Your new posts must receive 50 or more "thanks" combined
c) The thanks received count is cumulative -- multiple posts count cumulatively, so write several!
Notes:
a) Your post can be in any section of the forum except the Off-Topic, Tech Support and Jokes forum.
b) Site sponsors, vendors and moderators are excluded from consideration.
c) In the event of a tied number of thanks, the member who has the most "thanks received" overall in their user profile will be the winner
Important Tip:
You can write multiple posts. All posts after Friday, June 21 @ 9:00PM ET US will be considered, not just your first one.
Write high quality posts to receive more thanks/appreciation from members!
First five members who hit this will each get a $50 Amazon Gift Card!
Let the race begin! I'll post regular updates to this thread letting everyone know where they stand in the contest.

I appreciate that bob. I type a lot when I have done all my reading and I need a distraction to keep me from getting emotional about my trades.
Like they say...out of weakness you find strength...and in this case, more to read.
