Score Card

Odysseus, on the POTW score card it looks like you have today's opening price for FDO ($28.4 instead of Monday's opening price ($26.83), i.e. that you forgot to change the formula to the static value. Hey, it happens. Believe me. I know.

Ody,

[Peter Hansen]

Ctfo long

ODY CTFO LONG......Your organizational skills with the POW are "extraordinary". I really appreciate your efforts ......THANK You!

[Odysseus]

lol thanks Peter, though Hags did most of the original leg work, just building off his base

And congrats ! Peter crushed the competition this week with CPBY, going long for a nice gain of +20%. Well played !

That's not to say however others didn't do well. Karel once again took advantage of EXM and bagged a respectable +8%. Karel remains a hard to beat 2nd placer on winning the contest this year, nice job ! And I must say, amazing strategy

Wooish just joined the contest and squeezed out +7% from SUTR and took 3rd place to boot ! Well done and welcome aboard !

Guessing 10,000 on the DOW is a guarantee now, good luck all next week !
