Portfolio of the Week

[IIC]

Thanks for the info Ski.... 47 false positive tests don't bother me so much, better safe than sorry, right?.... False negative tests would be very bad for this stock.... I'm doing more dd now.... We'll see how it plays out.

I believe that I was the one who first mentioned this one...Maybe not???...But I made my 12.5% and got out...Can't remember all the articles I read(I did not see Ski's)...But after reading them...I was not impressed...so I bailed...Doug(IIC)

I got the pick from you Doug. I also have made out well on this one. Took a new position in the gap Friday....

Hey Doug.... NOW I might change my POTW pick since you don't like it. I highly respect your opinion dude and now you've got me all nervous.

I never posted on the stock. Doug was the first one with OSUR an I liked the play but was in SIRF, PDLI, an I think MOT at the time. After he mentioned it it went up and was looking good. On Friday I noticed it take a big hit and then saw what I saw on the newswire. I figured that was the reason for the drop. Can't tell what will happen with it now but news like this always takes it's toll initially. If it has no basis the play should go back up. It was looking good before the news. I would just be careful with it but the drop does look like an opportunity for an entry if those articles don't bother you.

Ya never really know...It might move...But I prefer to play the odds...I'll pass on a re-buy...Doug

[MickyMouse]

I pick KLIC. Thanks

[Lyehopper]

Switch to PARL (long)

I'm picking OSUR (long) again.... Closed that gap Friday. I own it too.

Ok Doug and Ski shook me all up here.... scratch OSUR...

I'm playing another one I own... PARL (long)

Got a few good shorts but I'm skeered to play them. The short I would have picked is ADIC..... haha that's funny ADIC (short). HAAAHAAAA I kill me sometimes.

Oh great. Lye changed his pick. I'll take OSUR long. LOL hehe. Just kidding. Yea but you still own it. Just protect yourself with it. Acutally you could take it short Monday morning with another tight stop and see which way the wind blows, then dump one or the other once you see what it wants to do.

[billyjoe]

Lye,
Can't find the rules page so I'll ask. Can you make your pick and put your stop at that time? When stopped or sold can you do it the same way on the second pick of the week? Once you're out of your first position can you stay in cash the rest of the week or for any time until you make the 2nd pick? Can you make your 2nd pick any time in the contest until closing Friday?

Mick Pick KLIC...Well, even if it doesn't win...I like how it rolls off my tongue...I'll probably be saying that in my sleep

PARL seems like a safer bet to me...But in REAL LIFE...I'm giving WITS my highest rating..."SUPER DUPER ULTRA DELUXE STRONG BUY"

Doug,

Seems you have fallen in love to WITS. You mentioned it several months ago, if my memory serves me well. Any particular reason(s) other than chemistry?

I see it turned profitable last Q, and have good earning estimates. But the future p/e is around 25.

[jiesen]

I'm sticking with AMLN long again for this week.

The famous "Rules"....

Lye,
Can't find the rules page so I'll ask. (1) Can you make your pick and put your stop at that time? (2) When stopped or sold can you do it the same way on the second pick of the week? (3) Once you're out of your first position can you stay in cash the rest of the week or for any time until you make the 2nd pick? (4) Can you make your 2nd pick any time in the contest until closing Friday?

billyjoe

BillyJoe to answer you questions.... (1) No, (2) depends on what "do it" means,hahaaa (3)Yes, (4)Yes....

If you fellas have input please offer it. I don't allow limit orders because it's harder on me as the scorekeeper.

NOTE: After much serious thought and consideration, rule Number five (5) is being added today.... I have consulted with Skiracer and he assures me the rule is a good one and he's given rule #5 his complete blessing.

Here are the Rules for all interested members. PLEASE READ ALL RULES!

(1) Pick one stock and post it (Long or Short) on the POTW thread anytime this weekend OR.... before the market closes on Monday.

(2) Any pick entered premarket will be entered at the "open" price. No limit orders are allowed.... If your pick is entered during market hours on Monday, the ticker price at the time of your actual post will be used to price your entry (I'll calculate the price, you just need to post the play)

(3) You can hold your pick all week.... or you are allowed exit your trade at any time to lock in a profit (or limit a loss).... After that, you can go into "cash" and make ANOTHER pick any time during the remainder of the week.... You may exit the SECOND pick to protect profit (or limit loss) but you must sit in cash after that.

(4) Try to pick a consistant gainer you have a valid reason to beleive will be profitable that week. PLEASE NO bb stocks allowed!... We're looking for volume and quality! Good Volume is critical in these picks because other's may be playing them in real life. I suggest an average of about 70k shares traded daily as a minimum vol. (volume requirement is not a hard rule just a suggestion) PLEASE NO "HAIL MARY" RISKY PICKS! This is a points race folks, BE CONSISTANT.... try to stay "Green".

(4) If you play a stock short, make sure shares ARE available to be shorted Example: I shorted a stock in the contest last week and when I attempted to "really" short it, there were NO SHARES AVAILABLE to short, thus that stock is NOT affected by short selling pressure AT ALL... and it kept rising. A very bad play on my part, and it cost me in my points standing. Learn from my mistake.... Make sure your "stinkers" can indeed be short sold in the real world!

(5) Absolutely NO Female players allowed.... UNLESS!!!! they have posted a skinny-dipping picture. Any female player posting additional skinny-dipping pictures can gain valuable bonus points.... 3% per picture! (added to the week the picture was entered)

Even if you are late to the game I invite you to still play You will be penalized for games missed.... but you'll be gaining valuable experience and the score card will reset to zero after the New Year begins.

Have fun! Do TA!.... Do FA!.... Do much aditional dd!.... PICK WINNERS! Enter your best picks in BillyJoe's POTW contest.... We'll all make money!!!!

Lye,
I propose rule #5a. If any male contestants (especially Lyehopper) ever post a skinny-dipping picture of themselves , they are permanently banned from the POTW.
