I really thought MEA1956 was going to take the lead after yesterday's outstanding performance by the ladies, but RL replaced his UWN gain of 10.3% with MPP's 21.6% and TASR went from a 8.4% gain to a 21% gain.
You just can't top those numbers in a two day period. Next report Tuesday March30th.

My fame is extending. I don't know if any of you have tried portfolio123.com. It is a pretty interesting site. My portfolio over there, different than this one, was the #3 performer last week.

I may have to create that web site after all.

[noshadyldy]

Thanks for the tip on that site. Is your portfolio available to be viewed by public?

[kingofthehill]

CAMD made a strong 10% move today ...now if i can get a little out of ELN ....I will be KIng of the hill

[Mi6op]

With HSKA's 15% move today I think my team is not far from contention!

[billyjoe]

More results tonight. Can RL be stopped ? Are we just apprentices and RL is the Donald?

I like my position BUT IT'S NOT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS

[jiesen]

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040330/cntu003_2.html

may even put me up a few notches here, if my LQMT doesn't suffer a complete meltdown due to their ****-up (just like $$MM's pick did),

Go XING!

LQMT- you bastards! do your damn homework...

[scifos]

With such a short time frame I think Luck plays a large part. We should do this again soon, but make it a little longer and open it wide up by allowing shorts and options, mutual funds, and ETFs, and perhaps one or two chances to change our ports.

[RL]

HOPE IT'S NOT LUCK

Scifos certainly hope your not inferring that my dart throwing Is luck. It has taken me over two years to achieve this talent not to say quiet a bit of money. As for the other vehicles of investment I for one would not have the time. It's time to play golf and a little traveling. Timewise It would become boring. After all It's just for fun.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND REMEMBER
MR MARKET IS HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

[MEA_1956]

Up Date

Thanks for the advise Ray, Next time I,m going looken for fat laides, that can sing, walk like women, shoot like men and can jump.at least 3% daily.===>MEA

[Mi6op]

What paramaters do you use to pick stocks RL? Or do you really just pull a Malkiel and throw a "dart"?

I was looking at TASR for the Competition and thought it was grossly over priced at the time. And I undoubtedly do now. It seems that a bunch of investors are getting together and remenesing about the good old days
