Hope not Atmospheric Dynamics. I can't imagine re-taking that class, let alone as a summer one. Think my brain would explode by week 3

Congrats Peanuts, Steelman, and Rob !

Peanuts is our winner this week ! Grabbing ABB for nearly a 7% gain, and a gold medal to boot ! He's starting to distance himself from the pack, well done sir !
ABB Ltd (ABB) provides power and automation technologies for its utility and industrial customers. It focuses on power transmission, distribution and power-plant automation serves electric, gas and water utilities, as well as industrial and commercial customers.

Steelman took 4.5% riding on the shoulders of NTAP, snagging a silver in the process. It hit it's 52 week high this week as well. Well done !
# 52 week 17.86 - 40.09
NetApp, Inc. (NetApp) is a provider of storage and data management solutions. The Company offers solutions for storing, managing, protecting and archiving business data. The Company is engaged in the design, manufacturing, marketing and technical support of networked storage solutions.

First, Rob snagged the bronze medal and a cool 3% off of SHOO. Second, this is Rob's 7th bronze medal. He keeps getting good picks, but just barely misses the gold and silver. I'll have to check back but I think his closest was something like 0.04% this year from getting/tying for silver. I'm rooting for you Rob ! Though it would be impressive to see double digit bronze medals as well
Steven Madden, Ltd. designs, sources, markets and sells footwear for women, men and children. The Company also designs, sources, markets and retails name brand and private label fashion handbags and accessories, through its Accessories Division.


The beginning of this week, Short was the way to go. The end showed that the Bulls were in control. Think it be a bullish week, good luck all !

Congrats to all the greenies! And thanks to Ody for the great contest each week.

I'll start with long TTEK. Perhaps I'll keep it all week, or maybe a real diamond will come across my screen.

[JohnHenry]

[BesV]

[Peter Hansen]

Ody HOV SHORT for the week .....Thanx!

[Odysseus]

Ok first, I made a big mistake on last weeks winners. It turns out I overlooked both of JohnHenry's followup picks.

Technically, he came in first place with his 3 picks:

LULU 6.94%
NUS 1.25%
BAC 3.45%

That means the medals will have to be adjusted.

Gold: JohnHenry
Silver: Peanuts
Bronze: Steelman

Sorry about that everyone. But congrats JohnHenry on 3 nice picks !

[Odysseus]

2nd.

Congrats Steelman, Peter, and Skiracer !

Steelman placed again this week with a Gold medal in hand ! He shook of NTAP's lackluster movement for FSLR "alternative-to-oil" ways that look to be taking advantage of BP's oops. Well done !

Peter Hansen comes in 2nd snagging the Silver on DIG, also related to the Oil industry. Dig is butting its head up against the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, could be one to watch next week. Nice pick !

Skiracer grabs the Bronze medal just behind the major indices, as RCI has a rough up and down week, but manages to keep it's head above water. Congrats sir !



Heads up, I will have no computer access near the end of July for about 2 weeks. Any care to take over during that time? Was going to ask people here first before asking some computer savvy friends of mine
