Jiesen is HUUUUGE

Hey Jiesen, that sure is a fancy scorecard that you've got there! Thanks for running the POTW. Is it everything that you've ever dreamed of, and more?

Congrats to the greenies, and especially the top 3!

I've got my eye on VIP short, again.

Have a great week!

Aye, that it is, Peanuts! So you noticed from whence I swiped it, eh?
It was a tough week, this time... maybe next week there will be some more green on the board.

I've got Peanuts down, now let's hear from the rest of you... send in yer picks!

[Rob]

If you make a second (or third) pick without first closing your current pick, your current pick is automatically closed at the same time your new pick is opened.

That's the way I always did it, Jiesen. Additionally, if someone switched positions midweek, their 2nd pick could not be purchased until the first one sold, which is why I used to caution people about playing thinly-traded stocks for their first pick.

For example, say someone plays ABCD for their 1st pick, then Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. they say "Sell ABCD and buy EFGH." But the very next transaction on ABCD doesn't take place until 1:25. In that case they would get the 1:25 buy price on EFGH, even if it's 10% higher than it was 25 minutes earlier.

I think Peanuts got bitten by the thinly-traded stock bug that way a couple of times.

And Now for Something Completely Different ...

IMCL long, please.

[New-born baby]

IMCL long, please.

And speaking of demons [IMCL], what about GOOG long these days? Rob, I'd appreciate you opinion about where's the bottom, if it's a buy, etc. PnF says not to look long before $351. GooG's RSI is at the lowest point ever--starting to show an oversold condition on the weekly.

As far as IMCL, if she ever clears that $47 resistance, she ought to really move out. It will be a very nice bullish chart.

SKF LONG PLEASE .....I think the financials will take another dive this week

y'know, not every financial took a big dive last week. my biggest bank position (OFG) actually finished up a nickel from Monday's open, thanks to a 9% rise on Friday...

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=OFG&t=5d&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=

thanks to my doubling up on this one, I'm now at about a 4% position in it. my other banks (WSB and BBD at 1% each) aren't doing as well at the moment, but at least they're both still making good money.

[Websman]

My favorite local bank stock...It's going up this week.
