peanuts- "I will compound the gains in the yearly contest"

I would hang in there Lye. On the weekly chart this next wave or move up is either a 3rd wave or a 5th wave up and both are strong upward moves. And on the daily it looks like it could be just finishing a c wave down and a decent spike up could be right around the corner. One of Spike's c wave spikes. But just to show that I'm a sport I'll trade positions with you right now if you want to. It's no big deal to me because I still like the stock to make a move to 3 or 4 and certainly above 2 and I do still own it. So it's your call if you want to switch picks.

Well Lye, what do you think. The offer remains open for awhile longer. Of course it still would need the approval of El Supremo regarding the rules, of which I don't think there is one covering this type of situation, but I'm still open to the switch if you want to do it. Big difference in the percentages from minus to plus. I own them both so I wouldn't mind rooting for you either way.

You've forgotten that this forum has become a place to express political and religious views.

I'm sure that fewer people are coming here for stock ideas, as very few people actually post them, anymore

I think we should be able to do both. But this is supposed to be a stock orientated forum and we have fallen a long ways from that. There is never any stock talk like we used to have. Personally I miss it and am losing interest in not having it. So that I am not being hypocritical I must admit to being part of the blame as we all are it seems. What has taken place that has changed that? We used to have a great exchange of ideas and commentary.

Peanuts you got that right and this is why I started a weather forecasting thread and also partake in the Missiles and nuclear thread!!! hehehe

Where did everyone go. Is everyone totally engrossed in American Idol?

sell - HEB

[Websman]

Webs,
You're up .15 on your play. Are you saying you didn't know or are you looking for affirmation or praise of some type for that fifteen cents. Remember tomorrow could be a different day altogether. Be careful of counting your cash to much while you're still at the table. Boy you can tell that Peanuts is part of the VTP inner circle.

JEEEEEEEEJEJEJEJEEEEEE!!!!!!

Lyehopper received negative points for stealing his idea from another contestent, and not practicing first. The judges were informed that there are some back stage antics going on, and they plan to do nothing about it.

week 3, day 1

Week 3 - Stock Pickers Pageant

For the first day of the week, we have the talent competition. The judges were really pressed to make a clear winner for the round, but peanuts takes this round with a crafty day trade in HRT, then quickly going with a beat-down stock that looks like it might have something left in it. Websman comes in a close second by displaying some excellent skills at picking low priced stocks, and Karel rounds out the competition with a steady hand and cool head when it comes to lettin-em-ride.
