Another Contest. This one has Prizes!!

[Rob]

Wait a minute!!!...I thought we actually had to own the stock we picked.

In which post did you see that?

[Rob]

. . . saying that QXM is a massively overbought china name . . . looking for the possibility of a further retracement.

Well, you know how that goes, River. He may be right, and he may be wrong. But at one point today QXM was at 15.48.

... or not. Okay, so I was too optimistic. Still I don't think I'll be putting in any bids on QXM ten seconds prior to the close. I'm just regretting that I didn't buy any in real life when I picked it for this contest.

Rob, on one of the news services (copyrighted) a trader was quoted as saying that QXM is a massively overbought china name and he shorted it as it came into the 15.00 mark for healthy profits today. He is maintaining 1/3 exposure looking for the possibility of a further retracement. At least it's doing better than my NFI!

My pick for this contest is up over 10% in 3 weeks.

Anywhere but on this forum that would be considered good stockpicking.

Here, it won't even win me a couple of dogeared paperbacks.

$10 - $15 contest

We have a winner.............almost.
Rob snatches defeat from the jaws of victory as QXM explodes out of nowhere to surpass $15 then settles in to close at $14. Here are the current leaders hoping that QXM disappears as fast as it appeared.

Rob-----QXM-----14.00---up 71.36%

Karel---CRDC-----12.77-----+37.31

Peanuts-TWLL----11.95-----+28.91

IIC------FRM-----10.79-----+17.67---he still won't tell me what's furmanite?

Stenzrob-SIM----10.60------+ 7.94

Where were these guys when I was compiling my under $10 list?

'Cause be then it'll probably be too low anyway.

Rob...why don't you put in a bid at 15.01 10 seconds before the close

Doug,
I put in an order to sell GOOG at 609 3 or 4 minutes before closing a couple days ago and it didn't fill. Guess they wanted me to make more $$$.

Oh ............... I forgot.

I guess I can declare myself the winner now?

[billyjoe]

Rob,
Thought I'd be hearing from you. What happened, did QXM strike gold while putting up telephone poles? It hit 15.0899 today. The rules say it must close at 15.00. I'll bet you want those dog-eared IBD books. And I thought nobody would win.

[Rob]

Almost

QXM hit 14.50 earlier today.



... 78% increase.

Why would you be so interested in an update ? Now I see. How much will it cost to mail a book to you?
