Portfolio of the week - 2008

[skiracer]

See, SKi? I KNEW I was right! But no, you can't trust ME! But River knows a winner when she sees one! lol

I wouldn't pat myself on the back to much nb. first of all you had nothing to do with River's win last week. you lost faith in your C short way to early and bailed on it where if you would have held on a few more hours you would have capitalized on it much more than taking the loss. your Bear Stearns and JP Morgan picks came way after Bear Stearns had the big drop on Friday and now you're saying short the both of them after the govt. is saying that they are going to prop Bear Stearns with an infusion of cash. I don't see where there is any credit due on your part. but the biggest mistake taking the heat and covering C way to early. i don't see where you could call yourself right on any of them. and you might just be counting your chickens a bit early on BSC and JPM this week.

Now BSC is trying to sell itself to JPM? This is better than Sears/K-Mart.
Any other ideas on some made- in- hell partnerships?

[jiesen]

better watch out... scorekeeper's in a bad mood.


Doug, Webs and Rob break ahead of the pack on day 1. Doug finds a floor with LL and notches a 6% gain, while Webs manages to Lance nearly 3%. Even with a $0.03 gift from the ticker tape, Rob still falls just a tad short of 1%. But 1% isn't anything to sneeze at in today's turbulence. If only the rest of our picks could do so well... meanwhile the rest of us sink into the Monday quicksand, and maybe those jokers waiting for tomorrow to pick are actually on to something!

Also, a quick note- next week is my last week doing this (for now). I'm having a blast doing it, but I would like a volunteer to pass the POTW torch to for the April tour of duty. If you'd like to but aren't sure how to do it, just go ahead and give it a try, it's not that tough, and nobody really minds if you botch the job (just look at me). We'll all help you through it, and the spreadsheet makes it a snap.

LL is the IIC 100 Chart of the Week this week and those that get my email probably read the link I included...Sounds like a very promising outfit to me
