you have the uncommon ability to twist anything anyone says to suit your own rationale and comfort level. the problem being that other uncommon bozos then come along and read it and being bozos actually believe it to be the truth as to what was initially said.
it's no wonder peanuts attacked you the way he did.

i spoke to Karel last night and told him that i would take the scorekeeping duties for a bit since no one else could find the time or it in their heart to make the time to give back to the potw.

new rules are going to be in place so please read them:

1. 1 pick allowed per week with an automatic 6% stop. this means that if your pick drops 6% or more below your entry price you're out of the position and the game for the week. so do your due diligence and make sure of your pick because it's your only one for the week. i've patterned it after spike's game at his site but made the stop at 6 % instead of 4 %. we'll try this for awhile just to see how it goes and how strong our picks really are. good luck.

2. you have until the close on tuesday to make a pick. if you do not make a pick by then you are out of the game for the week and there is a 5% penalty against you for the week. just trying to keep things simple and make less work for the scorekeeper.

i'll do my best to try and post the scorecard everyday or as often as my time permits me to do so.

Good grief, a 6% stop, and we should be happy it is not a 4% stop

Wel if you ask for a benevolent dictator, you should not complain if you get one! Thanks ski, for stepping in!

Karel
