March Madness Stock Pickers Tournament

[Iggy]

Icky

I just hope all my 'money' hasn't disappeared by April 5th, especially considering I have a large portion of my money in IMGG, and it took a pretty hard hit today.

I might just have to close my eyes and come look at my account when everyone is singing the market's praises once more.

Has the market finally taken its toll on RL's portfolio? Are Carribean Mike's days of glory over? Has an outsider slid into the leadership position in the March Madness Stock Pickers Tournament? Check back later tonight when the latest results are posted.

If you guys aren't careful my 15 minutes is going to stretch into 20 minutes.

For reference, if the S&P 500 had entered the tournament, it would be at 9724.

That means that only 6 of our 17 contenders is beating the market (and I'm not one of them). Not good, fellas.

HELLO

This is not how the dream team is supose to win this thing. My plan was to fake everyone out of there jocks in the first day of play and leave them standing there holding an empty(gym) bag. If that didn't work they were suspose to flash a little J.J. action on you and leave you all standing there gazing at the star. But we all know how a womens mind works, indenpendenly, so the coach has little to say other than, YOU GO GIRLS. WRONG, YOU GO LADIES. LOLA sister has a 16 inch bicept, yes sir, enought to make this man cringe. J Jill is the smallest of the bunch, butt has what it taks to make even Mister Market take a second look, as she walks her walk on to the finish line. More on these Ladies later.===> MEA

There's going to be a major surprise in tomorrow's results unless the market tanks on Friday. I'm so flabbergasted I'm going to ask a certain person to be my new best friend.

ELN is like Michael Jordan , We can hit from anywhere on the floor at any given time be worried real worried

and CAMD can get hot real quick with a half court buzzer beater

[Mi6op]

I think I'm poised for a big rebound very soon. HSKA was oversold like it's no body's business and if she can get back to atleast where I left off then I think I stand a chance of atleast getting out of the celler. I'm very glad that I've been able to atleast be a conversation piece for this tourny!

[Mi6op]

Grebnet, do you hold PRFT? What is your entry?

[grebnet]

prft

Grebnet, do you hold PRFT? What is your entry?

Yes I do own PRFT , It is just getting back to my cost basis of 3.90
I thought about averaging down on pullback but held off. ( wish I had now)
I have a large enough position as it is. How about you ????

[grebnet]

Proud to have a best pick and a worst pick.

I guess thats the game.[/b]

[Mi6op]

PRFT

Yea my cost basis is 3.85 and I would have liked to buy more but all my funds are tied up. HSKA is really discounted now and I would throw some money at it if I had it to spare.

[Bakxs]

Shhhhhh~

Didn't momma always tell you to be warry of the quiet ones?

hehehe

My Huskies didn't fare to well in the real dance losing close o an obviously tough UAB team. But I'm trying to hang in there.

Seems like I'm in a tough bracket though... heh. Not to mention I've been slipping as of late.

Must. Finish. Strong.
