3 of the top 9 stocks listed in IBD's top volume and price gainers today are picks in our contest. That's outstanding when they are out of something like 8000 possibile choices. Great job grebnet for HURC, mmaarrkk88 for FMD, and ridemhigher for MTEX. They're putting the pressure on the rest of us!

[scifos]

Ha ha, I'm in the tank! my picks are #1 and #2 worst performers by a mile! This comeback is going to be legendary.

[billyjoe]

Scifos, You could have made some big $ on them had you only known. Just between you and me , what criteria did you use in picking ULTE and OTD ?

[IIC]

A bad day . Our picks 9 advance, 21 decline, two unchanged.
billyjoe

Look at the bright side Billy...Disregarding Unchanged... our ratio of Gainers/Losers was 42.9 vs. only 39.9 for the consolidated NYSE-Naz

billyjoe

Known what? And sorry billyjoe, I don't remember the exact criteria I used, but generally I was looking for stocks under $2 that had a lot of beta and high on balance volume. I know, pretty stupid. I figure they will either go up about 20-50% each or drop like rocks. So far the rocks are cold and sharp.

Need some help. Apparently Mea 1956's CUPY has changed symbol to CPYJ, but quote doesn't make sense. Has there also been a split ?
billyjoe

[billyjoe]

Found it! Mea 1956's CUPY has changed ticker to CPYJ and initiated a 4-1 forward split. Is up over 7% at last quote. Mea 1956 is already leading this competition. Too bad vp's gains only count 1/2 of their actual gain.

Yeah RL...I saw that...I thought to myself...RL musta had a rough day...you can always delete your own post if you want.

[MEA_1956]

Yes, I do hear you

YES,At this point, I plan on picking up some more of this little JEWEL. I do feel like a sucker when it comes to these little guy's. This just happened to be in the ENERGY Sect., another one of my weeknesses. Also, playing in my old back yard, makes me want to shout!!!!!!! GO CDC.

As I ponder this next thought ( can V.P. win this thing outright) I find myself just thankful for being in the game, for the last go around I faired not so well. I do wish all of you the best, for I don't believe that the best man will win, unless he has a date with lady luck.

My Best To Alll ===> MEA
