Throughout BRONOFF’S RULES, Sam Bronoff is working on the outline for his book, How to Trade Like a Wall Street Insider. The outline consists of 15 rules for playing the market. The rules are suggested to him by the circumstances he finds himself in during the course of BRONOFF’S RULES.

BRONOFF’S RULES is fiction, but the advice in the rules is real. The context makes the rules humorous, as does Sam Bronoff’s straightforward, no-nonsense writing style.

The Missing Rule Contest asks you to create a rule that Sam Bronoff should add to his book outline and specify where in BRONOFF’S RULES he should add it. So every entry, to be valid, must include two parts: The Missing Rule and the page and line where it belongs.

The Missing Rule should be consistent with the content and style of Sam Bronoff’s other 15 rules, and it should be, like the others, suggested to Bronoff by the circumstances he finds himself in.

The author of BRONOFF’S RULES, Nao Hauser, will be the sole judge of The Missing Rule Contest and will choose one winner to receive the $1,200 prize.

The entries will be judged by these criteria: 50% for the content of The Missing Rule; 50% for the context it belongs in, page and line. Weight will be given to credibility, humor, and originality, both in the rule and in its placement.
