week 2, day 4

Down the back stretch, IIC spits in the eye of Rob's horse and slowed it down enough for him to pass, Jiesen is trying to keep up with IIC and is neck and neck with Rob, now. Karel saw his opportunity and is taking the rail to pass Rob and Jeisen as they talk over who is going to push IIC off his horse. Still back in corner #2 is riverbabe, who fell off her horse out of the gate and is now running after the pack on foot.

The leaders going into the final turn are the super speedy stenzrob, who's amazing gallop on the backstretch has put him a full length ahead of the thoroughbred spike, and the cruise-control peanuts still maintains his steady pace to the line. Stenzrob and peanuts are moving along at the same pace, so it looks like spike has a chance for the finish.

You're a bull again? That vector switches around like a tornado!

Well it can act like a tornado, but actually ... Vector was bearish the whole time from Dec 15 to yesterday so it held that bias for 15 trading days and applying it to my current trigger system rewarded over 200 YM futures points per contract after commissions .... so it didn't do too badly considering the sideway price action since the signal......and the bullish signal last night has apparently nailed it thus far! The INDU seems to be in a new 1 impulse up from a Fuzzy C, so bullish potential is excellent. And remember, we're in a monthly INDU 3 impulse up.....typically the biggest wave of 'em all.

OUt the DOOR

Peanuts,
Please take me out the door of GLD;
and short AAPL for me, please.

Hi Stenzrob,

The timestamp on your post is 10:48, so you get the opening price in the next minute of trading. At 10:49, SCLD opened at $1.18. The extra .03 would have been nice, but I'm not

OK, fine. Thanks peanuts.

[peanuts]

Sell SCLD, please. I'm seeing bid of $1.21 at this moment.
(Still holding in real life)

Here here stenz. I agree entirely! Peanuts, ya got no complaints from me either. May the POTW become bigger and better than ever! Personally I'm glad there's been a changing of the baton, and look forward to your own commentary, whatever form it takes. It's all good ya know?

I just think it's nice of peanuts to track it at all, and I have nothing to complain about

I just think it's nice of peanuts to track it at all, and I have nothing to complain about other than my SCLD performance. They did just report earnings tonight - reduced losses by improving margins. Their turnaround plan is on track. If it suddenly jumps to $1.50 (in my dreams), expect a post here from me!

I am not very good at being the scorekeeper.

You made this look so easy, Rob

Of course, it could be that I am a rung lower on the ladder of evolution... right?

You have to be commended Peanuts for stepping up and offering to take the job in the first place. There are a number of things that would make it alot easier and more functional. It just takes more time without Rob's code and sheet to do it in the same fashion as he did. It's not like it is prohibitive but it can be done without his sheet and method it just takes more time. If you get to the point where it becomes to much and if it seems to be to much trouble for you to handle then hand it off to someone else or ask someone else to help with the work. With Stockcharts.com there is the ability to make a watchlist of each players pick and it will give you the opening and closing prices each day. Then it is only a matter of plugging in the numbers and the percentages each day into an Excel spreadsheet where you can manipulate the rows and columns to suit you and to have some order. Of course your personality comes into play when creating commentary like Rob did to make it that much more interesting. But other than that it shouldn't be any problem. You might look like a monkey but we know that your not one. If you need a hand I would be more than willing to make the time to help you keep track and do the numbers each night.
