Portfolio of the week - 2008

Jiesen,
go to http://finance.yahoo.com and in the upper left hand corner open box plug in the symbol of the stock, hit "get Quotes" and it will take you to another page. on the left on the menu directly under "Charts" click on "interactive" and it will take you to charts. right under the chart are a number of time frame selections. 1d for 1 day, 5d for 5 days and so on..... for intraday prices use the one day and for something in the past a day or two use the 5 day. when the chart comes up slide the curser along the line and on the top of the chart you'll see the day, time, and prices change as you slide the curser along the line across the chart. very simple and exact.

thanks for the suggestion, Ski. It's better than the way I'd normally do it, using the ticker on Scottrade. I'm still keeping the rules as is for now, though, because I'd really rather not look up all the quotes if I don't have to.

As a compromise, though, I will start doing all of the quotes if I put out another scorecard with 2 or more pick errors again (incentive for me to do a better job).

i kind of meant it for everyone rather than just you. anyone could look up their prices anytime.i guess you went to the yahoo site. it's quite easy but everything requires time which is always at a premium.

POT - short please. I'll get the price later. entry at $153.48.

Riverbabe sits atop the heap with an obvious pick, in CFC short. Meanwhile, the rest of the shorts (including a short-ish ETF) enjoy a blood-filled Monday. RL gets absolutely screwed at the open.

Billyjoe, unsure whether to join Pete's ETF bandwagon decides to go Yellow for the day. I think something may have gotten lost in the Imageshack translation, (it says: billyjoe- no pick) but oh well, that's what you get for not making your pick!

By the way, folks, thanks for putting your prices in with the picks, as that made it so much easier this time.

Jiesen,
these are the intraday entry prices for each of the players that came in after the open yesterday.
Jiesen: ljpc @ 9:43 am - 1.96

midweek update


this was done in a rush, so I can't guarantee accuracy on this one- thanks ski for posting scores, I used your data, even for Doug's pick...

i think you've got mine wrong. in ptnr at 21.34 exit ptnr at 21.72 = +.38 or + 1.8%. then less the -.85 yesterday in POT would = +.95% total after yesterday.

[riverbabe]

Please cover CFC (4.75) and short BSC (55.45) River

[peanuts]

sell EOG, I'll post the price later. Thanks

edit: Yahoo! Finance says $128.10

Duly noted, and will be fixed on the final sheet. Hopefully that's the only mistake on this one, but I will be sure to double-check before the final scores are out.

Very nice play, Peanuts!

It is what it is...But I'd rather be honest...when I picked CCC it was at 15.39 or 15.40 on my streamer...I have no idea what the next minute's open was tho

Jiesen,
Please close my C short. I think yesterday was a bottom of some kind for it (perhaps a temporary bottom for C?).

I'll take HES long.

I took that price off yahoo's interactive chart. check it out. it's pretty exact with how you get it and how it shows it.
