....You fellas ain't gonna beleive what I just saw!!!! While sitting here typing this post (my desk faces the window and looks out over my pond and a pasture behing the house) I saw a bolt of lightening strike the ground about 75 yards from my house! RATTLED THE WINDOWS!!! Then a little column of smoke (steam) about ten feet high floated up and disipated in the air! WOW! I have never seen any thing like that before. My heart is racing.LOL! I hope this posts goes thru because my sattelite internet is working at about 30% during this storm. BOOOOOOM! Glad I wasn't standing back there!JEJEJEJEEEEEEEE

Dude!!!!!!! You were only 75 yards from temperatures 3 times hotter than the surface of the sun!!!!!! Yowchiwowa!

Take a look at NRPH fellas.... The CEO and his entire family (and other holding companies he owns) has dumped millions of dollars worth of this stock since last year. One day when the moon is right and the chart looks weak.... I'm gonna short this stock into the gutter!

That's a double top there on the weekly for NRPH dude! It is what it is until it ain't And on the weekly chart, it is a possible fifth completion, entering the 'a' correction down now.

32.25 is a little 'c' support area on the daily, so below $32.25 will be a C failure! You could short the breakdown right there, with 6% stop above the price resistance of $34.15 to target the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement zone of 50 $19.00, which is 41% profit, and risk/reward of 6.8; not bad....

Lightining update!.... Now about ten of my cows and a bull have walked down to the area that the lightining struck the ground. They were way the heck back near the woods during the storm about 200 yards from the strike. Now the bull and a cow are both sniffing the ground right where it struck! this is just too freakin weird! I want to go out and see where it struck but I'll wait a while first.LOL!

Doug,
My TLF was up over 17% at one point this week when the elderly CEO decided he needed new false teeth or another retirement home and sold 3 million shares at 6.25 , thereby screwing thousands of loyal shareholders and causing a fast decline of nearly 20%. It has recovered about 6% of that loss.

Yeah, don't you just hate that? I mean, nothing spells "lack of confidence" quite like a CEO dumping his/her shares. Just look at OFG, when after saying the financials need to be restated, the CEO goes and dumps 2000 shares! I mean, WTF? Does he REALLY need the $25k so bad that he is willing to put his company's investor confidence in a tailspin, especially when the entire country is falling apart around him? And, he's got another 100,000 or so shares, so it's also taking a toll on his own investment to boot.

CEO's, get a clue, please! It's not like you don't earn enough, just live within the huge salary you've got. If you want more money, just run the business better, and get a nice big bonus. Stocks are for selling in retirement, or to pass on to your kids, not for dumping on the market when the company is in turmoil.... just my opinion, sorry for the rant.

[billyjoe]

This isn't scientific or anything but look at the performance of the Mr.Market top 10 vs. celebrity top 10. Maybe the celebs chose higher beta stocks. The Mr.Market 10 are holding up well.

Mickey is still $$$HUGE$$$ In a "Blood In The Streets" Type Week

Tough week for the contest pix...There were a couple of bright spots...
J's LJPC advanced 14.7% after being in the red 8 outta the last 9 weeks and Stocks54's ELN was up 7.5%.

Our A/D/U for the week was an embarrassing 5/21/0 and our YTD decreased to 14/12/0 from 16/10/0 last week as Runner's TEVA and Billyjoe's TLF went red.

Our overall % gain YTD decreased to +11.71% from +15.92% last week as the overall portfolio was -3.6% for the week.

Of course...we are still kickin' the cr*p outta the CSSGX which is +9.56% YTD as they tanked -5.2% for the week...Probably due to one of my holdings, ABAX, which they dumped this week. 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.

Aren't 'Ya Tired Of Hearing That Mickey Is Still $$$HUGE$$$...?

Well...it's still true...Mickey weathered the recent correction with little problem and looks poised for a possible next leg up as the 50sma held during this recent basing period. And now he's back above the 20ema so things are looking pretty good here for BWNG. He even came through another losing quarter unscathed as eps was announced this week.

Notable moves this week included Photon's WFMI +17.4% and Sower's ACI +11.7%.

Our A/D/U for the week was 19/7/0 and our YTD increased to 16/10/0 from 15/11/0 last week as Runner's TEVA went green.

Our overall % gain YTD increased to +15.92% from +14.18% last week.

Of course...we are still kickin' the cr*p outta the CSSGX which is +15.58% YTD...But CSSGX is trying to close the gap...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.

'mon Mickey...Give us a break

[billyjoe]

Doug,
I think it's significant that in the last 5 trading days 7 of the Mr.Market crew's top 11 picks advanced while in the same time period only 3 of the top 11 celebrity picks did so. Are the celebs running out of gas?

Mickey is still $$$HUGE$$$...But Lye and Karel are closing the Gap

Lye's ECOL and Karel's CELL are steadily climbing...Mickey rebounded this week and still holds a commanding lead...But who knows??? One bad report and...

One notable move this week was Ninner's ADAM up over 18% going into earnings which will be announced on May 3rd.

Our A/D/U for the week was OK at 15/10/1 but our YTD dropped to 15/11/0 from 17/9/0 last week as Mr. M's BEL went red and Sled's FORD fell apart dropping 42% on EPS after gaining over 13% last week...FORD is back to red now.

Our overall % gain YTD dropped a tad to +14.18% from +14.56% last week.

Of course...we are still kickin' the cr*p outta the CSSGX which is +11.85% YTD...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.
