Karel

[scifos]

I'll take WAG long. Thanks.

week4 wrap

Congrats to riverbabe on a great pick and a great week, also to mimo! I felt lucky to just get out of the burning building alive. It helped to concentrate on watching riverbabe running away in front of me. <insert obscure reference to Trace Adkins song here> Again, many thanks to peanuts for tracking & commentating.

My pick was IMOS for which I have posted a bit more info on the stenz thread. I see it as undervalued (by Yahoo data: PEG=0.15, price/sales=0.87, price/book=1.24), profitable with good growth, and recently raised estimates. Technically, it was moving up from a double bottom on strong volume before increasing guidance, and has been moving toward the top of a 2+1/2 year trading range on consistently strong volume.

Well, actually I was going to play it again.

No problemo Lye. If you want it you got it. I can make another pick.
Peanuts, take me out of FORG and give it to Lye. I'll take AOB - long again this week. Thanks. I hope you win by a 30% margin. I like it for a move up this week.

[Lyehopper]

Congrats River, Mimo, and Stenz. A bad week for the plus side but you guys perservered. Good show. Great running commentary all week Peanuts. It certainly makes it that much more interesting.

FORG - long please Peanuts and only if Lye has had enough of it and doesn't want to try it another week.

Well, actually I was going to play it again.

Hi Peanuts,

Going with ICOC long next week.

Welcome...Mind telling us why you like it?

I bot it in May 5x avg. 6.01...held it all the way down...Sold about 30% at 7.06, 20% at 6.15 and about 30% in the 5.70's...Still have about 20% of the original buys...thx...Doug(IIC)

PS: Congrats River, Mimo, and Stenz...I tried a last minute push do or die...Guess I died

[skiracer]

It always feels good to win your first one and break the ice. I'm betting there will be more winning weeks in the future for you River.

[riverbabe]

I can't believe I actually won for the very first time! I was beginning to believe I would always be the bridesmaid and never the bride. Nevertheless, contratulations to Mimo & Stenz, and RL and Skiracer for a great contest. I almost blew it by making a late trade into SU, hoping to gain an extra few points, which proved to be a disaster because it went down down down from from there.

I am using the POTW as a public proving ground for strategy, whether right or wrong, because it makes me pubically accountable for my decisions. I have so far learned never to bet against any gaming stock regardless of the chart or the market. I have also learned to stick by the winner and don't get out too soon. If I had stuck with ATI for a while longer today, I could have gained another percentage point. But, it's all a game, after all, and a huge bet. Personally, I made a 7.5% profit on ATI this week, but could potentially have done better.

ATI is a steel and titanium stock that forecast huge fourth quarter earnings and reported on Wednesday. The TA showed a double bottom with a big potential for a breakout that did occur. ATI is a very volatile stock, but I made a bet on it, and it came through. I might consider reinvesting in it in the near future on a pull back. Riverbabe

my pick

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

I will try to sort the daily scorecard for the players, from now on.

For next week, I will begin with CA$H

Welcome to our newest participant and recent member, let-it-ride. Don't let these guys fool you, they're all pushovers

[skiracer]

Congrats River, Mimo, and Stenz. A bad week for the plus side but you guys perservered. Good show. Great running commentary all week Peanuts. It certainly makes it that much more interesting.

FORG - long please Peanuts and only if Lye has had enough of it and doesn't want to try it another week.

[jiesen]

Congrats on the win, Riverbabe! And nice job Mimo and Stenz for the Silver and Bronze.

Thanks for running the contest, Peanuts, you're doing an amazing job! Loved the commentary this week!
Please start me off in $$CASH$$ for next week.

[New-born baby]

Congrats and CA$$$$H

well, I could kick myself for turning a 3% winner into a 3% loser. I was gone all day, but I thought, HRT is at support, so I'll buy some here and let it pop up 2-3%, and I'll have had a nice week. DOH!

Oh well; it wasn't real money this time.

Congrats to all the greenies.

Peanuts: start me off in CA$$$$$H money, please.

[spikefader]

lol great write-up dude!

Congrats to Riverbabe! And mimo and stenz.
