JOB Long For Me!

Ski I am going for broke again.......JOB Long .........Thanx .......and again Thank You for the Great job you are doing with the POW challenge !

[billyjoe]

Congratulations to Mary, Doug, and Ski. Maybe it's just beginners luck for Mary, but I don't think so and we have to worry about Doug and Ski every week. Give us a break. As they say "the worm will turn". I predict a future with Mary, River, and Louetta dominating this contest. We guys are just too emotional about this investing business.

Dear Mr. Skiracer, sir

Wow, what a week! Mary, I am happy that you beat the seasoned stock pickers this week. Your pick is VIAC proved to all of us here that Rob isn't the only one with the brains in your family. Great job, and as per the standard weekly congrats, you are $$$HUUUUUGE$$$

Doug, Ski, you gotta do better than that to win, but you and your picks were BIG! Nice job

Skiracer, I would like to start the week in CA$H, please. Thank you very much, and keep up the great work!

[Websman]

In honor of the superior skills of Jack Haddad, I want to play...

MRVL - long

I congratulated Mary...But I forgot to congratulate Ski.

Anyway, speaking of bears...I touched a wild bear in Yellowstone Park back in '69. In retrospect that was pretty stupid...but I lived...Doug

Can I get in POTW

Ski,

I was wondering in I could get in POTW. If so I would like ASEI long.

Ski,

You're in Blaze. I don't know if you have read the rules but you might want to read them sometime or you could just wait until you do sometime wrong and then be corrected. Anyway welcome to the POTW.

Yeah, but now the pressure is on to try to follow that act. The VIAC pick was a gift that just fell in my lap. I've been using the same market research site ever since I made the VIAC pick and, although I've seen other upgrades from "hold" to "buy" and read about those companies, I have not yet seen anything that reaches out and grabs my attention the way VIAC did. I almost wrote a post today when VIAC was up by only $0.03 to sell VIAC but I didn't do it. I was fretting about someone in this group (can't remember if it was Peanuts or Ski) who threatened that he had a secret pick that was going to challenge my first place position.

P.S. By not breaking under pressure and selling when VIAC was up $0.03, I gained an additional $0.09 since, according to a quick Google search, VIAC gained $0.12 today.

Congrats on a superb victory, Mary! And nice job, Doug and Ski, too! Ski, I'm really digging your writeups.

For next week, please put me in (surprise, surprise) AMLN long.

Jiesen,
I am trying to keep the commentary light and interesting but it flows out of me better on some days than others depending on what time of the evening that I compile the sheet and write it. I'm excited to hear that you are digging it. That makes it worthwhile. Now I would like to win it once in a while. Here are some of the new picks for this coming week, not in any particular order alphabetical or sort. And congratulations to MARY and DOUG on great plays last week. Riverbabe, you had a great play with WYNN and after you exited the play it went off the scale. You probably would have been real close to the #1 spot. But none of that matters now. Lets see what the new week brings. Welcome JBLAZE71 to the game and his 1st week of participation in it. There have been a number of past players who have gone missing in action. Please report in just to let us know that everything is ok and perhaps to get back into the POTW action.
Well we have two of those three ladies participating. This is a direct invitation to MS. LOUETTA to grace us with her participation in the POTW this coming week and any week that she wants to play.

Nice win, Mary.

Congrats to IIC and ski for fine efforts too.

Ski, you have the cost basis for my short wrong and I'm too high in the list.

I would like to short PARL as my next pick. Thanks for running a great game, ski!

Water over the dam now Spike. I was trying everything in the book to get people past Doug and keep him out of the top spot. Caught in the act I guess. You're in with PARL short.

Everyone is out to get me...Never get the credit...always the blame

Doug,
I'll give you all the credit you want .....at 20% interest. A special deal for you better than "check into cash" and maybe better than Ace Cash Express. I'm always here to help you get by until your next check arrives.
