Spike is $$$HUGE$$$ For 2 Weeks In A Row

Spike's CERS was up over 11% for the second week in a row and Mickey's BWNG is back up over 100% YTD.

Our A/D/U was 17/9/0 for the week and we moved up a notch to 10/16/0 YTD as Gary's VLO and Sis' DVN go green and J's LJPC goes red.

We were up 2.3% for the week (Same as CSSGX) as our YTD moved to
-2.03%.

Speaking of CSSGX...How many of you are planning to attend the IBD CHART SCHOOL on December 9th??? It's only $2994.00 per person http://www.investors.com/seminar/level3.asp Who the heck takes these classes??? I can think of a lot better things to do w/ 3 grand...But then again they probably include lunch???

I use the open on 1/3/06 for the indices and the close on 1/3/06 for the CSSGX because funds are only priced at eod.

The quarterly report should be out in a few days and it will become public knowledge. I'm surprised Morningstar still has the 6/30 holdings. Maybe if I actually paid for premium service I could find out.

--------------billyjoe

The Duncan Hurst site still has the 6/30 holdings...I think they update it once per quarter

At Investors.com but you have to be a subscriber. I don't feel like having any hassles w/ IBD so I'm not going to copy/paste the list...Sorry...Doug

Mickey is $$$HUGE$$$ up over 100% again YTD

Well, another Quarter down the drain...But at least we finished it up with a green week overall. Led by Mimo's ENER +11.00%, Park's DDD +10.50% and Greb's APLX +9.97% for the week. Grebnet's pick is an interesting story...Down almost 22% early on he has climbed his way back and is now in medal contention in 4th place at +20.45% YTD.

Our A/D/U was 19/5/2 for the week and we are now 10/16/0 YTD as Park's DDD goes green.

We were up 2.09% for the week as our YTD rose to -3.47%.

The CSSGX had a rare up week +1.09%...but YTD they are pretty much at the bottom of the barrel as Morningstar has an average YTD gain of +2.02% for the Mid Cap Growth Catagory. In all honesty they use the December 30th close and I'm using the Jan. 3rd close...But even so, Morningstar has CSSGX at -9.46% YTD...Will be interesting to see their rank when they are published....Guess I'll just look at the bottom of the page.

I use the open on 1/3/06 for the indices and the close on 1/3/06 for the CSSGX because funds are only priced at eod.
