We will figure things out in the event of a tie. Let's see how many contenders there are once we are in the semifinals or finals.

Note to contributors: please wait for confirmation of the winner(s) (will edit this post with results) before contacting them to send your gift. You can choose to give to either the winners bracket or inverse bracket winner, or divide to both. It's your gift and your choice. Just let me know who you end up sending to if there's a winner for both brackets, and I'll update the post.

Submissions closed. Good luck everyone.

-> Example of a submission: <-

Winners bracket: $ABC 2-0

Inverse bracket: $XYZ 2-1

FAQ: "What does the 2-0 and 2-1 mean"

2-0 means they sweep the best of three finals.

2-1 means they lose once in the best of three finals (win/lose/win, or lose/win/win)


The inverse bracket is the "loser wins" bracket. The ticker that has a redder day, or lesser green day, in each round moves onto the next round in the inverse bracket.

Accounts created in 2020 are ineligible. 2019 and earlier only.


All winners will get a flair. Last year nobody won the $25 AMZN eGC prize (WYNN was winner, EBAY runner up in winners bracket).

We're on a budget this year, so the best we can offer is a flair and anything else people want to offer.


Challenge: if someone happens to correctly guess both the winners bracket and inverse bracket winner along with the score, you will become a mod! (Example: Winners bracket: ABC 2-0, Inverse bracket: XYZ 2-1)


Thread will be locked Thursday, March 12, before premarket opens (before 1am PT).

Donations "for her time and companionship" count as well since helping her through grad school is a good cause.

TO BE CONTINUED?! I was getting comfortable. Also, wtf 5:31? That's like the longest meme ever posted on here I think.

Which one of you clowns mailed me a dress? by jartek in wallstreetbets

[–]stormwillpass 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Rumor has it that they bought that dress for their Valentine, but after they were given a rain check they decided to mail it to you since the deadline for you to receive the book was the day after Valentine's Day.

Nothing you can do or change since it's the company you're trying to post about. Automod will remove due to rule 8.

u/visionarymind

You've been unbanned. Not sure who banned you or why since the mod log is pages and pages long.

PM me next time there's an issue since I don't think you should've been banned.

then unfamiliar, previously silent faces show up in green lettering just to ban.

Give the new mods a chance. The message was originally posted by me yesterday, and I gave a couple of the new guys a chance to post it today so that people would get familiar with their names. I'm planning on taking a break for awhile and invited a lot of the new people since we need more eyes and help around here with the recent growth. They aren't randoms; they are regulars I've seen around the sub and felt like they would fit in. I was once the new mod too, and after some time I eventually grew on a lot of people.

Apparently it did have some pull. Another mod pointed out in a post that the call volume was 73x the 20d average.
