Maybe I should change my pick to LUNA or WATG.
Either one has a better chance of getting to $15 from here in 15 days than SIM does.

. . . maybe my darling (DAR) will win me my own prizes

Did you know that "dar" is Spanish for "to give"?

Just thought you should know.

ASIA & Team ****

Woo Hoo!!!, the Barry Bonds of this contest has pulled ahead for a day! Yes it's lead is marred with an asterisk, but I think ASIA pulling ahead with just over 10 trading days left counts for something!!!!

Since we are on the topic of associations with Darling. (Are we?)

Since we are on the topic of associations with Darling. (Are we?)

Karel, I did not remember the name Darling in association with Peter Pan. In fact, when the Darling family is mentioned, something else very different comes to my mind.

I don't know if you've ever seen the Andy Griffith show in Holland. It's a classic situation comedy series from the early 60s, in six episodes of which the Darling family, a family of mountain people, appeared. Those are six of the best shows in the whole series.

Sorry to venture that far off topic ... so ... Hey Billy, QXM may not make it, but remember the premise of your observation, i.e. how hard it is for an under $10 stock to get TO $15 ... and QXM did that, even though it didn't close >=15.

TASR: mentioned it numerous times. Went from $7.75 entry to close yesterday at over $15. Has been as high as $20 of late. Still a good buy at this level.

Ski, TASR wouldn't have qualified for this contest. The selected stock had to be under $10 on Sept. 28 or when the contest opened on Sept. 18th or so. This was the pps of TASR:

19-Sep-07 15.25 15.77 15.20 15.77 3,393,300 15.77

Rob,
Didn't you read reply #34 on River's "Trolling for Whoppers" thread? You'll get extra credit if you can tell me who the Darling boys were in real life. Forget the actors playing father and sister Darling.

That's an easy one for an old bluegrass music lover like me. I don't have to look up anything to know that it's the Dillards. In fact I went and saw them play an outdoor concert at CSUN (California State University Northridge) in the fall of 1975. Jimmy Seals (of Seals & Croft fame) showed up unannounced that day and played a pretty mean fiddle.

Thanks River, I didn't know there was a date or I should have known there was a date but didn't think of it.

Very good. Are the Dillards still alive and performing? I shook hands and talked with Jimmy Seals after a concert around 1972. Their sound system kept failing and they had to keep starting "Summer Breeze" over again. Seals was a tiny, soft spoken guy. I always thought it was unusual their manager or maybe just stage manager was a very large woman about 3X his size. You probably remember Seales brother Dan from England Dan and John Ford Coley.
