Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Contest Background?
Sarhan Capital is a boutique investment firm that is constantly looking for talent (people and ideas). Since the early 2000’s, Sarhan Capital has run this contest privately with a much smaller prize. Some of the best trading ideas come from the contest and we are always looking for great ideas. In 2013, the firm decided to make the contest public (via social media) and we will see what ideas emerge.
2. Any Obligation or Risk For Entering?
There is absolutely no risk for entering the contest. You will not be automatically added to a newsletter and all your information is 100% confidential. We respect your privacy and will not use, or share, any of your info with anyone, unless you say otherwise.
3. Any Requirements or Fine Print?
The only requirements are the 5 rules mentioned above. No fine print or catch of any sort.

5. How Is the Winner Paid?
Sarhan Capital will mail a check to the winner at the end of the contest.
6. Why Such A Large Prize?

The word large is relative. One good idea will more than cover the prize and then some. Sarhan Capital invests real money behind the best idea. If correct, the investment should return at least 5-10x the prize, if not more. Prior year’s winning ideas have surged +247%, +183%, 83%, 127%, and +192% in 12-18 months.

Of course…The winning idea will not be made public and you have the right to do anything you want with your idea.

No…like any other idea in the market, anything is possible. Some of our prior winning ideas have not materialized….but most have worked over a 12-18 month horizon.
9. Why Should I Participate?
For a chance to win 10k. We ask you to only participate if you have a great idea and can explain why it is great. If not, please do not participate.

11. When Will The Contest End & Will The Winner Be Announced Publicly?
