    Hi
    I had lots of homework and I forgot to down load the spreadsheet for 04-30-08. I'm sorry for the delay. I will do it by hand this weekend.

    Or is it cool with everyone that I will use the closing price for 05-02-08?

        Update for end of April

        Ok the scores are in as of 05-02-08. Sorry for the delay, this is unlikely of me. The delay may have some impact or maybe not. It won’t happen again.

        Good news, 59.09% are in the green. Spike takes the lead from DMK with a whopping 52%. DMK couldn’t hold on to first place for the third month, he slides down to second with 42%. PeterH holds on to third place for the second month in a row with 34%.

        That’s all folks! If I made errors, I’m sure IIC will let me know (Joking).

                Spike is still the man for two months in a row. Slightly down to 47.19%. DMK still hold second place for the second month now with 29.02%. Karl up a notch to third, 22.65%.

                        hmm, changing a pick of the year in April, and without giving a reason, is definitely not kosher. good catch, Stky!

                          Well, the logic of the change beats me, as the picks had been entered and were being tracked. It might not be worse than a prank, but a very silly prank indeed. But now everyone knows that the edit history of a post is saved and that discussions about what was in a post can be resolved by the management, if necessary.

                          Big Brother is watching your edits!

                              Thanks but I didn't catch it. Someone pointed it out to me.

                                06-30-08 Score

                                Spike is still our leader for three months in a row with a 50% gain. DMK couldn’t hold onto second place. Karl moves into second place, also with a 50% gain. Stocks came out of nowhere from the reds into third place, with a gain of 40%. Nice.
