Portfolio of the week - 2008

[peanuts]

Peanuts,
You are allowed one sell and one buy a day. You can only own one position at any time during the week. So with that said I am assuming that you want to sell UUU and take a short position in VIP. That is what you are getting at your posted time of 12.29 p.m. If you know the prices and don't mind supplying me with them then please do so as it will be much easier for me and keeping the scores. Thank you and please stop with the Mr. Skiracer Sir stuff Peanuts! Skiracer, Ski, or Ed is plenty good enough from you young whippersnappers.

Edski,

UUU @ 1:23 = $7.40 (first trade after my posting time)
VIP @ 1:24 = $42.27 (first trade after the initial position was closed)

I figured it would be this way because there would be no way to hold 2 positions at one time... right? If you want exact price of VIP after the post, then $42.08 is it.

Well we have been going with the 1 minute rule for prices. Giving you the next trade is the only fair way in my opinion. I mean if there are no trades for a period of time then there are no prices either for that period of time. 1:24 p.m. and $42.27 is fine with me as long as no one else can legitimately substantiate a different price. It looks like that price is the best price for your short play. It's ok with me.

Please check your own figures. I am trying to work fast and I do think I have them right but check anyway. Any problems and I will adjust them but you have to at least tell me you think something might be wrong. Thanks for your help and Peanuts thank you for providing your exit and entry numbers. What a difference a day makes. Look at all the long entries and how they followed the market down today. Very few greeneys. I am a little surprised that hardly anyone used the option of the 2nd trade today. Especially with all the red. Peanuts was the only one and you can see an example of how I am going to try and show each trade.
River, Pete, Jiesen, and Gatorman are very close to each other with River and Pete a close 1st and 2nd. Only .13 separates Jiesen and Gatorman.

Karel,
Adjusted as per our conversation and your recommendations. Looks alot more compact. Let me know. It should work.

Looks good! Thank you! But just do something about this weeks closing date, as I get a headache trying to figure out what 1/01/04 means and how you came up with it.

I'll take care of it tonight. I am going to change the LONG column to L / S. to take care of both in the one column. Actually it was just a mistake of hitting the 4 instead of the 8. I'm usually pretty good at catching the mistakes like this one but I totally missed it until you mentioned it. Surprised that Doug didn't see it. He's getting older and his reaction time is slowing.

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to stop finding fault...LOL

He's just fantasizing about his first encounter with me on IBD, altho he didn't even know it at the time! Ah, subliminal suggestion!

and you are a master at it. are you getting what subliminal suggestion I am teleporting now?
Pete takes over the 1st spot today followed by Karel, Billyjoe, and Riverbabe nipping at Billyjoe's heels. Billyjoe has slowed down considerably hoping to let her catch up. And the scorecard:

While ski is trying to stretch his report to the limits allowed (the last one is fine and better readable than his second attempt, but exactly at the limit), I want to announce that I am going to split this thread after this weeks final report. The split will come right before post 3019, for obvious reasons.

Karel,
I could make it a bit smaller if you want me to if that would help. I'm not locked into anything for any reasons except to keep it running and to make you happy with the sizing.

Don't worry, it's OK. And better readable than the previous one, which is a good thing, too. We don't all have 20/20 vision on this board.

Karel
