Hi Ernie,
Your humor is fine, the world needs more humor.
Your explanations of why you like a stock is great. It equates your analysis to real world parameters.

What I would like to see is a short summary of why you did not pick the other 4 in your final five. This would help me understand what am missing when I pick one of your five and you don't. This is just a thought and may be more work for you than it is worth.

Either way, I really appreciate what you are doing and I am very glad that I stumbled across you on yahoo.finance.

Have a great day
Al D

I am a pretty serious investor...but as far as I am concerned anyone who likes a few beers after the market closes is cool...How 'bout we have a BEER BASH at Ernie's house on Memorial Day weekend??? I have tons of FF miles I would like to use before they expire...How 'bout it Ernie???

Though I have been a silent observer, this is the best message board I have seen yet. Period.

MM, your sense of humor should be enough to visit this board. The stock pick is an additional bonus!! Cheers!!!

Position sizing tips

Mr. Market,

I've been following your picks for about half a year now, and I'm impressed by your success. One thing I've noticed though is that I haven't seen you discuss your position sizing strategy. What percentage of your portfolio do you put into any given stock? While you've now had 50 trades making over 15% each, I'm curious what this turns into for an overall yearly gain. I look forward to learning more about your investing strategy.


Thanks for sharing your picks!

Jim,

I usually hold between 10 to 14 stocks at a time. If I really really really like a stock, I put more money into it and also follow it up with call options (URBN was a stock I had calls on also).

On average, 7 to 10% of my money is in one stock.

Keep em coming

I like the board the way it is. Maybe a few comments on the runner ups on your top 5 on why you didnt pick them. I like your humor the best, money is a serious thing but you gotta have fun too. Cant wait for the next pick.

This board is now 4 months old and we have 590 members. In an effort to give the people what they want, I need to know what it is that you like about this board and what it is that you don't like about this board.

Also, I am interested in what you think of the analysis I provide in my stock picks. Would you like to see more fundamental analysis, more technical analysis? Do you like my sense of humor or do you think I'm a juvenile idiot.

Speak up....we need to hear from you!

Maybe now is the time to do some techie stuff, as you polled a couple of weeks ago.

Here is a simple, visual example. Compare the Bollinger Bands of STC,

and the Bands of URBN:

Note the position of the close versus the ASCENDING 20 day moving average, and the
expanding versus contracting bands.

Well EARNIE I think in 38 days 42 hours 36 min. & 8 sec. YAHOO will be writing a letter of apology and will be begging you to reconsider and move back to there TERMS OF SERVICE. Your answer will be ? Things are realy comming togeather here, so lets stay the corse, stick togeather and let them be in the past, for all good things have to have an origin. Who Knows maybe some day a celeberity will join our ban of merry investers,(Mel Gibson?) and he will serve steak & potatoes at our yearly rondavo. ===> MEA
