Call The 1st Quarter 2007 NASDAQ Contest

[peanuts]

Peanuts: ...2424.24 FIRST PLACE
Jiesen: ....2434.00 SECOND PLACE
Mimo: ......2454.10 THIRD PLACE

Congratulations to Peanuts for an extremely accurate pick --
and to Jiesen who was not far behind.

WOW! I remember thinking that at the beginning of the year, we were going to be heading down, down, down- right from the beginning. (open weak, close strong for the year) I was very bearish then, but also thought that 2007 was going to be a good year for the market. I figured that whatever losses that the market would record in the beginning of the quarter should be regained by the end of it (and then some). This would form a nice quarterly candlestick with a bottom wick that would set-up the gains for the rest of the year.

However, just the opposite happened- the market launched higher, kept running, and then crapped out on us near the end, but regathered itself to close near to where it began- forming just the opposite candlestick formation that I would have liked to have seen. Because of this, I have a very bearish view of the upcoming quarter, sorry bulls.

Anyway, just saying that it was LUCK on my part to win this. Anyone that can accurately predict where the market will be within the range that I was within, must have special powers.

Congrats to Jiesen- who proves his genius on a daily (and now quarterly) basis

thanks to a merciful fed, the NASDAQ has taken off, and passed both Peanuts and me, to land squarely on your number, Mimo. At least I'm still in the vicinity of 2nd... I'll take that!
