Isn't it interesting that Doug's three golds are all grouped together? Not sure what to make of that, but it's strange nonetheless.

Week 52 (13), Day 2—“BillyJoe In The Fast Lane”

BillyJoe McCallister lives up to the name of his stock pick today as he nonchalantly takes a look at the rest of the board and says, "I pass" to the head of the class.

Johnny JBlaze Storm's MAMA gapped up 8.29% this morning, momentarily putting his short position into the negative gain category. But MAMA's euphoria was short-lived as she proceeded to sink, and sink, and sink back to the point where Blaze is still up better than 5%.

Speed Racer so far is placing third in this week's tournament ... BUT ... with a 4.29% increase from yesterday's net gain, he picked up more ground today than anyone else in the race.

Sorry...didn't mean to get so excited, but when I saw it at 20.80, I couldn't help myself. aaaaahahahaaaaa!!!

Week 52 (13), Day 3—“Ski Dazzles”

The Incomparable Uphill Racer is up to his old tricks again as he ignites those afterburners, gaining an additional mind-bending 6.73% today alone!

(Singing ...) MAMA's little Jblaze like short-in', short-in', MAMA's little Jblaze likes short-in for bread. Ho hum, yawwwnnnn .... another 3.71%!

BillyJoe McCallister asked himself, "Should I hold onto IPAS?", thought about it for a spell and said, "I pass." So with a tasty 6.44% gain, Billy bails.

Pete's doin' mighty fine with SNP, a stock that I told Lyehopper to buy about five years ago when it was around $15.

And by George, look at ol' Websman with his 4.34% gain on a stock that he hated a couple days ago. I don't know about the living long bit, but he's surely prospering this week.

Markets to Close Tuesday

In case y'all haven't heard, the stock markets are going to remain closed on Tuesday, Jan. 2, in honor of the passing of Pres. Gerald Ford.

So, Peanuts, your scorekeeping debut will be Wednesday instead.

Week 52 (13), Final Results—“Who is huge?”

JBlaze closes out the year in a BLAZE of glory, as he adds another 8.77% to his weekly total to wind up with a supernova-sized 17.54%!!!!

BillyJoe finishes out the year in passive-aggressive style as he regains 2nd place by doing absolutely nothing!!!

Dancin' Pete Hansen puts on his best two-tone Gene Kelly pumps, pirouettes and taps his way into the bronze position with a 6.06% gain on the Chinese petroleum company, SNP!!

Well, I've had fun (mostly) being the scorekeeper. I'll post the full year spaghetti chart either later tonight or sometime this weekend.

And ... oh yeah ... by the way, mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the hugest of them all? The player with the highest average score for the whole year is .... [Drumroll please] .... ROB! How about that for hugeness, ladies and gentlemen?

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9

p.s. Slight mix-up on the color chart at the bottom. Billy's score should be silver and Pete's the bronze ... and I'm too tired to fix it ... so you can just mentally switch the colors.
