What do you mean by cold? According to NOAA our average daily HIGH in Dec is 30 degrees and 25.7 in jan. But thats only half the story. We get wind like a, well, its bad. During the winter it blows at least 5mph every day so it feels much colder, plus there is blowing snow everywhere and its dark by 5pm.

Well, a nice day for ULTE (+11%) but OTD is taking a rest from yesterday (-5%)

Done pumped

I have already decleared myself a winner when I sold CPYJ the afternoon before the split. Not to be bold but here are the facts::: in at $2.08 ::: out at $5.18. I played it on the safe side and only in on 50 shares. 4 foor 1 how could I resist.

Since then I"ve followed there news clips and am pleased to say I"m glad I never bought back in. Seems that where is quit a mess going on there. I shall follow it in hopes that they do get things turned around and may consider buying back in if they ever find solid backing.

Mea, Glad you sold when you did. Sometimes I forget which stocks I actually own and those I pick for the contest , but it's a good feeling when they drop and I remember it's not really my retirement going down the toilet.

Am I the only one who picked "2" stocks for the contest that I actually own?

I own ELOS. This one is a relatively new stock that is still in the process of being discovered. IBD has been giving it quite a bit of good press lately. It is going to be a big winner, maybe not in time to win this contest, but I can live with that. I used to own MTEX but got stopped out.

[grebnet]

Own My Picks

I own both HURC and EFJI

[RL]

I do not own JOBS or QCOM. JUST DART throws for the contest.

[jiesen]

I own both of my picks. Unfortunately, LJPC was my largest position by far... now it isn't!

[billyjoe]

Morning movers : Only 2 stocks up >3% ULTE BABY . More results tonight.

[RL]

Whats a guy to do. China raises intrest rates and there goes JOBS. At the same time
QCOM stops I's pull back. Here I have been trucking In the fat ladies for a concert In
WDC and Chiken Wings for everyone. Now I won't be able to aford the gas to get there. But thanks to BILLY JOE for some Intrest Into this dull market.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL
