    Gotta enter, it'll make you a better trader in real life!

Well in real life I’m not playing yet and so why should I enter a play game if I’m not willing to play now for real? Lye you can penalize me the 5 points if you wish.

    Just trying to follow my real game plan here and I see above average risk entering the markets at current levels. I’m bull but a cautious bull for now. I do think many set-ups will occur during the next pullback.

    I hear your reasoning there Runner.... but there is no rule that says you have to be trading in real life to play this game dude..... I gotta beleive there's a stock out there that you've researched that (you believe) will either fall or rise this week.... Or will at least sit at zero. That "safe" zero play will at least keep you away from the 5% penality. Please reconsider and throw in a pick for "the team's sake". And remember the new rules allow you to exit your trade to nail down a profit of limit a loss. And even allow a second pick!

              I'm going with PDLI - long this week. I bought it last week at $26.85 and the position is still open. Another one of Morpheus Trading Groups picks. A beautiful double bottom cup with handle and just filled that little gap at the end of it's handle last week and looks ready to blow off this week. If it clears $29 this week it will be clear sailing with no overhead resistance. I'm discounting Friday as a no show day with the weekend and everyone trying o get out of town early for a long weekend holiday.

                  Ski, I agree with you that PDLI looks very good right now- it's one of the more tempting biotechs out there, for me anyway.

                  Very stong balance sheet, pipeline, and revenue growth. Will be profitiable by next year. This one is a strong buy and hold for 1-2 years from $25 to $40.

                    Jiesen,
                    There's plenty of room for improvement. Still not earning any money but looks real good for next year. I just want to get through this coming week. A whole lot of potential and would love to see it clear $29 range. It could be clear sailing from there easily to mid $30's in this coming qtr. Do you own it? I was lucky and got it kind of early from Morpheus. I think at this price it is still a decent entry but hopefully will take off this week. I think the short week last week with the holiday sandwiched between Thurs. and Friday held everything back so I'm discounting the end of last week. Actually that's a good thing for anyone thinking of an entry as it hasn't really taken off yet. Well see what this week brings. Hoping the market uptrend stays in place. Good luck.

                      No, I don't own it. Just have had my eye on it for a while now. Would like to own it though, if the right opportunity came along. I feel that this one will be a very big winner.

                        Jiesen,
                        Are you waiting for a pullback from this point? What would you consider a good entry from here? Nothing personal, but I'm hoping and betting on no pullback to below $26 again from here over the short term. That's why I thought that anything between $28/29 would be a good entry right now. But you might not see it any lower anytime soon after tomorrow or this week.
                        Of course my plan isn't the same as yours would be I think. I'm trailing a stop and will be happy to see $31/32 range. If it goes higher than $30 I'll probably take half off the table and let it run out to see where it stalls or gets stopped out.

                          Cesv

                          OK I havent thrown my hat in for a while.....Lets try CESV long, not sure if it will do anything in a week but worth a try.

                          Good luck to everyone this week.

                            Yeah, I'd probably only be a buyer at 25 or 26 right now, but that could change, if AMLN were to hit 50 next week or something, and I could free up some of my biotech capital. I think anywhere under 30 is a great price for PDLI, actually.
