    Hey everyone. I haven't been following this thread at all for a few months, but would like to get back into the game. At first sight, it seems to be played a little differently. If someone would like to give me a rundown of how its played now, rules, etc. that'd be great.

      EOD Friday.

      Our winner this week is jiesen, who not only surged from last to do it, but only needed 4 days to do it! Grats dude, was a solid win and fun competition.

      Only 3 from 9 in green figures this week, and as Jim Carrey says, "What is the DEEEEEAL!!"

        Jiesen,
        You are truly the king of penny stocks. Great win and overtook Spike with what looked to be an insurmountable lead. You are EL Grandiosimo.

          Thanks, Ski. And thanks Spike for putting this whole thing together. It was really a fantastic job on your part!

            Spike spoiled us over the last few weeks. Now whoever takes it over for the next stint is going to have a high standard to meet to run it realtime like he did. Truly a great job Spike with the realtime trading opportunities. Jiesen has no sensitivity towards us and goes for the jugular everytime. Just what it takes to make money. I thought you had it in the bag this week.

                Doh! A thousand apologies dude! I really messed your numbers up. You have 5th place with -2.79% on a quick recheck (please post your numbers if I'm still wrong):

                dmk trades
                long AMR 12.66 to 11.31 = -10.66%
                short KCS 24.52 to 23.10= 5.79%
                long VPHM 18.75 to 19.14 = 2.08%
                Total (-2.79%)

                So again, everyone, dmk takes a much more respectable 5th place with -2.79% for the week. I have edited the Leader Board post with the correct placings.

                      heh, you got that right ski! The man gives no quarter! Yep, I thought I'd done enough, but goes to show you, every person in the competition can come from ANY place, ANY negative position, to take this title. Admittedly, it helps if you pick pennies, but that's a double-edged sword too, and picking them opens you to some big red humiliating numbers.

                      Thanks guys, and yer welcome
                      Hopefully someone will step up and keep the momentum going - maybe even in a different direction with it, making some different rules to tweak it and keep it interesting.

                        Geez Spike...every time you go bullish I go bearish...Actually, I'd say we see a little more upside on the Oversold situation...but I think we see a medium-large correction soon.

                        Anyway...I pick DRIV long this week...IIC

                          Has anyone stepped up to run the POTW this week? If someone does I'm in with ABAX - long.

                            I'm still confused on how POTW is going to be run? Is it realtime now?

                            Anyways, I'll make my picks (both are OTC stocks):
                            WMTG Long
                            NNGY Long
                            TRBY Short (if it is possible to short a stock @ 4 cents)

                              Hey Scifos. That depends on who's running it. It has become customary that whoever runs it makes the rules. No one is has volunteered so far, so how about you run it this week! You can make whatever rules you like.
