Portfolio of the Week

[jiesen]

oops

Sorry for the premature announcement there, Doug. I didn't know Scifos was including after hours trades in the calcuation. Congrats on the win, DMK!

Also, I'm sad to hear about your grandma, Scifos. I hope she's doing better now.

My pick this week will be GFCI.PK

[Lyehopper]

Going out on a limb....

Short Sell NRPH.... at market opening price....

[IIC]

Who's the scorekeeper?

Well, I'll volunteer for today only...maybe the other 3 contestants can pick up the slack Tues-Thurs...And I'll do a final write up on Friday:

Let's see...who's in first???...Oh, it's me

IIC...kickin' butt for the gold with SFCC +2.26%...Opening price 42.89

The silver belongs to RL so far w/ MOT +0.91%...Opening price 20.80

Bronze is claimed by "J" with GFCI +/- 0.00%...Opening price .35

And the tinfoil medal belongs to Lye so far with NRPH short at -1.94% (upside)...Opening price 48.46

Next....

Tuesday update

While IIC and RL duke it out with ~1% gains each for SFCC and MOT, my GFCI has pulled out with an astonishing 0.03 gain (8.6%).

Lye is still struggling with the tin at -1.8% on his NRPH short.

[IIC]

Doesn't look like there's much interest here...Anyone's race although my pick seems to have turned to cr*p:

So far:

GOLD: RL w/ MOT +0.5%
SILVER: Lye w/ NRPH (short) -0.8%
BRONZE: IIC w/ SFCC -3.1%
TINFOIL: J w/ GFCI.pk -5.7%

On a side note...J should know that the Pakistani Stock Market also lists as .pk

[jiesen]

And here you see me working on an exit strategy for my GFCI position. Perhaps selling it on the Pakistani exchange will work? I mean, the Libyans are buying it, so why not the Pakistanis?

[jiesen]

hey it worked! someone out there just bought some GFCI for 0.37, so I'm back in the driver's seat. let's just see if it can hold till EOD.

[jiesen]

alright! bid for GFCI is 0.37. There's no stopping me now! I'm going to go out on a limb and declare victory even before today's close. (Just want to give myself one more chance to look like a fool.)

[jiesen]

ok, who's the joker who sold 42030 shares of GFCI at 0.355 right at the close just to spite me?

That would be me

[IIC]

WOW!!!

What a nail biter...I think this is the closest finish we ever had.

CONGRATS to LYE...He pulled it out at the end...I thought that J was gonna do it...But I bot and sold his Pakistani pick at a loss just to keep him from winning

BAD NEWS THOUGH...I came in last...Well, let's say I came in 4th...doesn't sound as bad...With almost 2,000 members here...4th sounds pretty good...LOL...But one of my 3,156 Sayings To Live By Is: "2nd or Last...SAME THING"

Here it is:

GOLD: Lye short NRPH +1.80%

SILVER: J long GFCI +1.43%

BRONZE: RL long MOT +1.39%

TINFOIL: IIC long SFCC -0.19%


Get It???? TinfOIL?????????????....LOL

[jiesen]

Great job with the contest, Doug! I'm still mad at you for selling my GFCI though....

[Lyehopper]
