Karel maintains his hold on the top spot with Billyjoe in 2nd and SirTuck in 3rd. The individuals who are in penalty situations have not had the penalties taken off their scores. So their positions are without the deduction for the penalty. Meaning that they may not really be in the position that they are in today once the penalty is taken off. Also regarding the people that have two trades. I have placed their position as the total of their two trades. I see that I have made a mistake with Peanuts score and position. Fix it in the morning.

I had made a small error in posting the order of finish. It gets confusing at times when a player has 2 trades and I have to show each trade and price and the total % of change and then the order of finish. I counted Peanuts total for each trade once instead of once as the total. I was going to change it this morning but will do it tonight with the scorecard and any other errors. No one has said anything so why am I mentioning it?

There was one other item that I wanted to mention. Whenever Ernie has a stock pick in play I am going to carry it as a pick in the POTW. From his entry price on Monday at $55.20 until he exits the trade BOOM is now in the POTW and any other future trades. Just to gauge how he does against the rest of us.

do you not add your trade % together? Or do you only take your most recent trade?

BTW ski, I sold MLAB at 26.2 not 26... Thanks

I am also not sure about the calculation for my % change on DO, I am getting a different number, but let me know because I could be doing something wrong? Or not undersdtand entirely how this works!

I may have made an error in 26 vs 26.20 and I'll take your word for it. Regarding DO. You entered the short play at 130 and it closed on Wed. at 131.38 or +1.38 which translates to a loss of -1.38 on the short play. I take the -1.38 and / it by the entry of 130 and I get -1.06% instead of -1.34%.
A small problem has arisen when a player has 2 trades or more and finding a place to show each trades result and then the players final result after adding or subtracting each trade. I wasn't able to do that because of sizing parameters so I didn't reflect the adjusted scores or totals for the players with 2 trades or more. I am going to straighten it all out tonite hopefully.
Your total should be +.39% for MLAB and -1.06% for DO up to yesterday which when extended out is -.67. That would also reflect in your standing for the day which will also get straightened out tonite. Thanks for your patience and participation.

No problemo.

SirTuck takes the 1st spot tonight with the little snot nose whippersnapper StkyTreat in 2nd and Billyjoe in 3rd. Riverbabe, who would have been in 3rd place if not for the penalty for missing Monday and Tuesday, what could she have been doing that could have made her miss posting a pick, is in the 4th slot. Billyjoe , I'm sure, would give up tres sure for amour or more from #4. But nevermore. and the scorecard with the corrected scores and standings: You will notice that I have included Mr. Market's most recent pick, BOOM, in the game this week. We'll see how it stands up to the rest of the mob for as long as he holds it.
Also if you look to the two columns to the far right you will see the individuals who have two or more trades so far this week. The percentage to the farthest right is their score for the two trades and the percentage their standing is based on.
