Depending upon what happens by the end of the year, you may receive a special award for a two-bagger before the contest starts!

Ok, now over 52% gain, up over 22% just today on triple volume and I can't find any news. What is going on with this stock?

I think it is basically their experience in human tissue research + piggybacking on the 3D printing craze with their new relationship with Autodesk + they are one of the RetailInvestorConferences.com Q4 2012 Presenting Companies.

Thanks, Mimo. How can someone NOT get excited about the a concept like this? Anyway, got shaky, looked over the past history regarding how much this stock has been allowed to stay up before gains sucked back in by the market, and sold half for a nifty profit of 49% in 11 days. Still got the other half and put a buy order in for when it dips. Having said that, watch it double overnight. But I'm not squabbling. I made money and i'm gonna make more.

Oh, I wonder if it's targeted for a buyout?

Interesting tho. CORT, that I mentioned on 1/1 as being at 1.41, closed at 1.94 today, about a 35% gain. Somebody's buying risk or something like that.

I flipped a coin again and this time it came up SIRI. Remove BIOL.

Are we returning to another irrational bubble? There are stocks gaining 30, 40, 50% in a few days, only to be beaten down - MDBX is one. There is no reason for this except wild speculation.

$VIX at 13.49 is under both the 50 and 200 moving average and approaching a historical bottom at 9.5-10.0. This cannot continue.

Mimo, I'm holding gains in 9 swing trades right now. A big up day or 2 and I cash out.

I was searching for some math information and I ran into Peter Ponzo – also known as “gummy”. He provides a huge amount of free excel spreadsheets doing all kinds of calculations. Plus pages of lectures on mathematics. I found a nice spreadsheet (see below, towards the end) to download closing prices from Yahoo for up to 30 stocks.

He was “… born and raised in Toronto, attended the universities of Toronto and Illinois, spent an inordinate number of years as a math professor at the University of Waterloo.”

He writes in a question and answer format, as if he were talking to a person – thus the odd way of explaining things.

Here are his comments on his work (between the dollar signs).


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $


In 1993 I retired, after some thirty years of teaching math at the University of Waterloo. I was fifty-nine at the time and would have received a drastically reduced pension, so I transferred thirty years of pension contributions to a self-directed LIF. That meant I had to learn something about investing. I found most things fascinating ... but confusing. When I thought I finally understood the idea behind some financial concept I'd write a tutorial in the hope that others, equally confused, might find something of interest. The tutorials are not meant for professional investors or financial analysts or capital planners or ... whatever.

They're meant for the average do-it-yourself investor who finds much of the literature confusing (including the stuff that's on the Internet).

The tutorials are usually in the form of a teacher (that's me) and a student (who asks the darndest questions ^$%#@!).

>The student speaks like this line of text, and says the kind of things that my students might have said.

Many of the tutorials have a bunch of math bumpf (I was a math prof, after all) but there should be sufficiently many graphs and charts to illustrate the idea (I hope) - even if you hate math - tho' the math is rarely more than High School level (and, sometimes, introductory Calculus).

Although I hope there are no errors - at least no glaring errors - you'll have recognized that I'm not an investment guru.

That's about it. I hope you'll find something of interest. So long as I'm able I'll keep larnin' and writin' and ...

The download-multi-stock-DOW doesn’t work - the symbol for the DOW is wrong I believe –didn’t have time to research it. If you change the benchmark symbol to something other than the DOW, it works I believe. However, the download-multi-stock does work and I use it for this two bagger contest.
