2008 - year of the Rat

Great job, Jiesen. You're the coolest rat that I know Thanks for running the show!

Given the recent market events,
I'll look to go long on all I see.
Profits will be used to pay my rents;
and I think I'll get them from WDC

Have a great week!!!!!

ps. in Chinese astrology lore, the rat wins the race.

I'm taking LJPC long here at 1.61.

Long QMAR

Congratulations, Doug!

I am still long QMAR, but I'll leave out any calculations about the value of the merger. But I needed to get rid of another stock first.

Regards,

Karel

Edit: The next 1 min opening price was 73.09.

Congrats Doug, Webs, Rob (IMCL Forever!) on a great week.

My week was lousy; only River's was worse, and she had a bad week only in that she took my advice and shorted JPM! So sorry River; it shouldn't happen to nice people like you. Ski was too savvy to take my advice . . . my congrats to him.

No hard feelings, new-born. I have been very distracted recently. Shoulda bailed way earlier in the week. Still need to find a good pick for this week. (sigh)

Since I missed out on v please put me In POT-LONG

GEOI looks pretty good.

GEOI looks pretty good.

Very nice looking hammer! Why not? I'll wait to see what the futures say for tomorrow to determine a buy point. Thank you, good friend. Couldn't find an earnings date. It should be March or very early April.

Jiesen,
I can't possibly top Ski unless a crazy choice pays off big time . Give me SIRI long and maybe there's some hot air left in it enough to make it rise. Thanks.

Bullish Bear Monday


It's the last week of March, and Ski takes a commanding lead with a well-founded rumor on the BSC buyout. But did he know that with the limit-order option in place he could have killed this week already with anywhere up to a 40% gain? Something to consider, folks.

Peanuts, I like your style- and since your poetry must have taken you at least 3 minutes, I gave you the opening price for your pick. Also, for the rest of this week only, the Peanuts Poetry Rule is in effect. Anyone who submits a pick in verse will get a 1% bonus added to his/her score, provided the poetry is as good as Peanuts' (in my most equitable estimation).

I liked it better when Ski took a week off (-2%). Now he comes back and leaves us eating his dust. Come on, Ski! Give us a break, will ya?

Seriously, nice play!

not buying into your recommendations last week was a bit more skill. this was just luck yesterday NB. just happened to read the newswire early in the a.m. and got lucky. even better was that i bought it in the pre-market yesterday at 9.20. hope it can hold it for the next couple of days. maybe i can get out of it with a win. i need one as my numbers for the year in the potw are miserable both here and in spikes game.

[skiracer]

sell BSC please - i'll get the price later jiesen

[riverbabe]

GRMN long please. River Will get price later.

57.81 @ 10:09 I think.
This is wrong. Ski just told me how to find it on Yahoo. The correct opening price at 10:09 was 57.98 River (Thanks Ski)
