Skiracer (would you prefer Belaruski going forward) takes gold this week on 3 picks, well done ! He took the most off his first pick of NYB, "short"ly got into SMH, then turned around and went long on HUN that put him over the top for 1st place.
New York Community Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company. The Company has two primary subsidiaries: New York Community Bank (Community Bank) and New York Commercial Bank (Commercial Bank).

The Semiconductor HOLDRS Trust issues depositary receipts called Semiconductor HOLDRS, representing an undivided beneficial ownership in the United States-traded common stock of companies that develop, manufacture and market integrated circuitry and other products known as semiconductors, which allow for speed and functionality in components used in computers and other electronic devices.

Huntsman Corporation is a manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products.


Gary611 grabbed silver, just barely behind Ski, with LULU. The stock really took off Friday on news that I can't seem to load. But here is a quick note I found:
Lululemon (LULU) estimates, target upped at Goldman. Shares of LULU now seen reaching $40. Estimates also increased, as sales trends are accelerating. Buy rating.
lululemon athletica inc. is a designer and retailer of technical athletic apparel primarily in North America. Its yoga-inspired apparel is marketed under the lululemon athletica brand name.

Rob grabs his 3rd bronze medal for the season, putting his money on "TAP". Not a bad pick for this upcoming St. Patty's Day
Molson Coors Brewing Company (MCBC) is a holding company. Its operating subsidiaries include Coors Brewing Company (CBC), operating in the United States prior to the formation of MillerCoors LLC (MillerCoors); Molson Coors Brewing Company (UK) Limited (MCBC-UK), operating in the United Kingdom; Molson Coors Canada (MCC), operating in Canada, and other corporate entities.

Fortunately? Ski, you can only go to cash on 3rd position. After HUN that would have been your 4th position, but I think it helped you in this case

Good luck this week, seeing some good green movement from lot's of folks. And Happy St. Patrick's Day for those that celebrate ! Hope to be over my flu by then so I can enjoy some Guiness and Black & Tan's

well i guess that sometimes it pays to be unaware of what you are doing. i think i was thinking that you had to have 3 full positions and then you would be able to go to cash. but now i understand that cash is the 3rd position. thanks Ody for keeping everything straight. you're the best.
and Skiracer is fine as long as it's ok with Karel and doesnt confuse anyone.

Late Out of Paddington

I was so busy this weekend I almost forgot to pick a stock. So I pulled up one of my trusty screeners and picked the first stock right at the top of the list: RBI long. Checked out the chart, the P/E, the growth, and it all looked pretty good. And because I am manly and huge, I have picked it before the open Monday and will hold it through Friday.

I have to agree with you Rob. with the way Ody has the rules it isnt any problem with getting in a pick on Mon. or Tues. that way the option of exiting it and picking another stock is always there with the three pick limit in case things dont go your way.

Zanett Inc. (Zanett) is an information technology (IT) company that provides customized IT solutions to corporations and mid-market companies.

Ody finally caught some green this week, and a nice silver coin to boot, shorting HOC for a not-too-shabby gain of +4%
Holly Corporation is an independent petroleum refiner that produces light products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt.

Gary611 follows up in 3rd with DPS, taking bronze, a couple % points, and the last of us to beat the major indices this week, well done sir !
