    Quasi-Ernie's Investment Club

    Greetings fellow traders. I am Quasi-Ernie, approximately, in some sense or degree like Mr.Market himself. Having no need for money myself , my goal is to help you reach financial success. Asking for nothing in return, your prosperity is my reward. I propose the formation of the Quasi-Ernie Investment Club. You pick the stocks to purchase and sell. We will be very diversified. There will be no mechanical stops.

    1.Stocks will be selected based on the agreement of 5 members of the forum
    2.A maximum of 2 stocks will be chosen each month. An equal amount of quasi dollars will be invested in each stock. All positions will be long.

    3.When completed the quasi portfolio will contain 24 stocks. I will fund each position with quasi dollars in the amount of $41,667. Totalling $1,000,008
    4.Minimum gain desired per position will be 15%. Stocks will not be automatically sold at 15% gain and will require 6 members to agree to sell a position

    5.Emphasis will be on a longer term hold (6 to 12 months) although a stock may be deleted and replaced at any time.
    6.Quasi-Ernie will periodically post the performance of the portfolio both in dollars and %. All information and selections will be available at no cost to Mr. Market is Huge Forum members.

    The beginning of the month is a fine time to start this portfolio. Perhaps a former top 5 in one of Mr.Market's dumps would be a good selection. Please try to ad additional information , fundamental or technical, concerning your desired pick.
    Finally, I'd like to thank Mr.Market for this opportunity. He's such a fine fellow. I believe he'd give you the shirt off his back although it wouldn't fit anyone except for possibly Mr.Lyehopper. May the sun always shine on your investments.....Quasi

        Start throwing some symbols old Quasi's way. There's lots of good ones out there.

        You probably don't know Quasi is very interested in current events and will comment on them here from time to time.
        Anna Nichole Smith might finally get some of late hubby J.Howard Marshall's money. Quasi says "right on, Nichole". She gave him the best 14 months of his life. What did his son do to earn his 400 million? The smile on his withered face said it all....Quasi

          Welcome Quasi-Ernie!!!!.... You are already HUUUUGE!!!! IMO.... This is gonna be the best thread EVER!

          I'll refrain from posting a symbol right now because I'd like to time my picks with an ideal entry point. Or is that necessary?
          BEEF!... it's whats for dinner!

            Lye,
            I don't think a perfect entry point will be that critical to Quasi since the stock may be held for 6-12 months. Maybe ACTU or your GEHL would be good stocks to consider.

              I think it would be prudent to have some precious metals in the mix for 6 to 12 months.



              How about GG or ^HUI or ^GOX or ^XAU?

                  Jiesen,
                  I really liked Owens & Minor a couple years ago and owned it. They recently missed earnings estimates by .01 but announced a .15 div. for next quarter.The last 10 months chart forms a nice cup/w/handle. Does anyone like UARM ?

                    Quasi,
                    You said we need 5 to agree on a stock purchase. So far we've got Lye, Ski, Spike, and me agreeing on ECOL. I think both Lye and Ski did research on their threads. It has good numbers on net profit, ROE, ROA, and future growth estimates. Vectorvest rates it highly. It is down a bit today. One more positive poster and the Q Investment Club can make it's initial purchase, right?

                      With an ADX above 50 and excellent Chaikin Money Flow, I can also recommend it.

                        I think this was an excellent idea. It'll bring the group alot closer and will provide a great basket of stocks that everyone will know has been gone over with careful technical and fundamental analysis and DD plus ownership by the people okaying it most of the time. It will be interesting to see how we do percentage wise over time. I personally will be owning most of the selections if I feel they merit it with smaller than normal position sizes on some of them but longer term holding times as an experiment for myself in a little portfolio that I intend to build out of this basket of stocks. Good luck to all of us. Ed

                          Fellow Investors,
                          Thanks to Mr.Gatorman whose recommendation of ECOL makes it the 1st purchase in the QIC. Today at 1:10P.M. EST we purchased 1562 shares of ECOL @26.68. We can spend up to 28 days remaining in this month for our 2nd selection...Quasi

                            I, too, will be holding a position in my longer term portfolio. Entered at 26.75. Will evaluate the other candidates as they are proposed or chosen.
