Just over 4 months ago, a clarion call went forth across the ST landscape. It rang clear, "Bring your best traders forth!" and so it was done.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Sep 6 '16, 04:53

And soon thereafter, combat began over warrants, bonds, options, and stocks. On this glorious day, the 6th day of the 9th month of the year 2016 AD, we recognize the following traders for their accomplishments.

*cue the trumpets and banners*

In 3rd place, out of 20 participants, is the esteemed Will Hunting with a final total of H$60,521,345. When reached for comment, Mr. Hunting stated, "First, I'd like to thank Kaigee and HowProfitable.com for their outstanding tools and efforts to provide the best bond information to this community." He then looked around and noticed no one was present. "Second, I would like to think I'm not crazy, but I am giving an interview to myself so...." Mr. Hunting was last seen wandering away, questioning the meaning of his life to date.

In 2nd place, is Anderson Coo...Strongbad with a final total of $H$73,532,323. Strongbad gave the following comments on his successful trading season. "Like my beloved Georgia Tech YellowJackets, I kept all my options open, kept my opponents guessing, and in the end, exceeded my expectations given the quality of my opposition. Also, given my H$71 million profit, I am now the most profitable enterprise in northern Georgia. Well, one that is actually trying to compete, unlike the Atlanta Braves."

In 1st place, with an unbelievable final total of H$144,378,882, is ty97. In the summer of 2016, certain names dominated their fields: Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Tito's Taco Truck outside Trump Tower. We now can add another name to that list. Ty97 led almost the entire contest, taking over the lead within days and never being seriously challenged after May 15th. His total profit of just over H$142 million more than doubled the profits of the 2nd place finisher. So complete was his domination, that ty97 scheduled multiple flights in the last few weeks of the campaign because he no longer needed to worry about what happened when. It was truly a performance for the ages.

When reached for comment, somewhere in an Asian concourse, ty97 gave the following statement. "I wish I could say that I am surprised, but I saw the talent around me and realized that I had this in the bag by May 15th. This was a fun little exercise for me, but truly, I expected nothing less than domination. It's how New Yorkers do things. Now, if you don't mind, I'm late for my platinum status massage in this executive club lounge. Konichiwa, bitches!"

For everyone who participated, thank you; hope you had fun.
