Portfolio of the Week

[skiracer]

Mainly the fact that it was at that resistance and that the market was going sideways as well. Until the market breaks out of this 2-3 week range I think NTAP will stay there and if the market breaks down, it will go down with it (speaking short term here).

Well it surprised me today and it took a decent hit today. I'm out so it's water over the dam now.

I'll take CMCO long. It is in the Mechanical Fund (up) and in my own portfolio (down). What happened to SNDK made me think: the stocks I pick should perform well for more weeks than one. At least, that is the idea. Chasing a new stock every week is not my game. So, Lye, I will be holding CMCO for the POTW until further notice, if that is acceptable to you. Of course it will be 'bought' every week new at the open to determine its score for the POTW.

That's cool Karel.... Just post every week what you are doing, if you don't mind. If not I might forget dude.

Thanks,
Lye

DMK.... Please read rule number two. I've posted the rules below....

Maybe we need to post the rules as a sticky?
================================================== ==
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 during the 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!
