[IIC]

Geri,
I've tried to go to your site several times and have not been able to bring the site up. Don't know what the problem is but let me know if anyone else is having the same problem. I have been trying www.heavencantwait.com. Am I doing something wrong. Am dying to see the site as per everyone's reaction to it.

Geri probably doesn't have the heart to tell you directly...But she told me that she blocked your isp Ski....Scroll down for the reason...

I'm not sure if this counts but I went to AC last weekend with $165 and came back with nearly 2k

That counts to me. Dang, DMK, that's one heck of a return. AC was kind to you.

Fantasy Football

Yesterday sealed the deal. I came in first place in my fantasy football league. It was a group of old highschool friends that all played ball together, so the league was alot of fun. It was calculated that after the draft, I had picked the statistically worst team in the league. Everyone has hated me because I kept beating them with the worst team (and kept reminding them of it), but it's all just fun banter... no real feelings. I mean, sheesh , it is FANTASY football. Anyway, prior to the week, I was in second place behind someone else who had the same record, but more overall points than I did. I have LT and Reggie Bush on my team, not to mention a few other studs and Chicago Defense. LT, Bush, and Chicago alone scored enough points for me to win the match-up and to get enough points for me to be ahead of the old #1. I finished in the top spot by 10 measly points, less than a 1% difference!!!

Now I have playoffs, so wish me luck. If I win, I'm throwing a party with the proceeds. Anyone coming to Pittsburgh?

I once lit a fart that caught the couch on fire...I had a hard time explaining that one and can only brag about it now.

Tatnic,
Not that I would know,but have been told that if you swallow air to induce farts , they aren't lightable.

I bought BRKB at 3947 on Sept. 20th this year. Today it hit 4950. 1000 point gain! Top that (in a 2 1/2 month period)

[IIC]

Only thing I have to brag about is that I'm in the semi-finals for the BEST LOOKING INVESTOR ON THE NET this year...AGAIN!!!

[billyjoe]

Doug,
Where can we view the competition and place our votes? Me and Ski will vote for River unless you have a very impressive new photo.

Sorry...It is a very exclusive group of judges...Doubt that you or Ski qualify...Here are a few of this year's judges:

Point gains, yuk! That's a paltry 25.4%! On Sept 4th I bough MTL at 43.57, now 99.89 (129.3%); on Sept 10th I bought VIP at 24.75, now 38.91 (57.2%); on Sept. 17th I bought PCU at 111.19, now 117.68 (a disappointing 5.8%); on Nov. 5th I bought LXU at 26.76, now 23.07 (a grovellingly bad -13.8%); on Dec. 3rd I bought SID at 76.33, now 85.19 (11.6%). Those were my last real money buys starting with September. The gains average 32% over an average holding period of just under 2 months. Who needs Warren Buffet?

Geez Karel,
Thought 1003 point gain was good but now that you mention your MTL and VIP % I guess it's just so so. It's not fair though cause you get quotes about 5 hours ahead of us. Poor old Doug (IIC) has to wait 8 hours. Surprising that he can ever make any $$.

Billyjoe,
Don't ever let anyone tell you that your play on BRBK isn't a phenominal trade. 1003 in two+ months is pretty darn good in my book. Here's my latest: 6000 shares of ZIXI @ $3.80 on 11/28/07 and closed yesterday 12/08/07 at $5.65. That's a 1.85 gain for an $11,100 profit in 10 days. TASR has doubled since my entry on 6/07. I backed the truck up on that one. 3000 shares at $7.75 and am still holding at $15.66. That's 7.91 points for $23,730 gain and not done yet. I think it goes to $30 before the coming spring.
VIP was a big gainer on the short side this year. 8 or 9 point gain a few months back and I now own it on the long side. I'm in DO from $112.50 and it closed @ $125.30 Friday. Up 12.8 points since 10/16. I'm not going to list the losers but I have had my share just that on most of the stock plays I always cut the losses at 7% but a few I have let go farther than that. MSFT options was a big bust out and I let them go to 0 just to feel the pain and learn a lesson that I thought I had already learned. But caught it again on the rebound from the $28/30 levels and am still holding a few hundred shares. Bragging doesn't do it for me. I like winning and making the money much moreso.
