Curious as to why you don't sort in order of highest + percentage to lowest - percentage. It seems easier to get the whole picture in that order. I see that you are doing it alphabetically by nickname.

I find it very ironic that Meta Financial, ticker CASH, is doing so well this week.

If there was ever a time to mess up a CA$H entry, this week would have been ideal. Sometimes mistakes can be good, too.

Congrats Rob, Gator, Gwhiz, Jblaze and IIC for a fine performance in the POTW this year, and thanks again, Rob, for keeping the show going in such fine fashion.

I guess it goes to show you just how tough it is to beat the market on a consistent basis. I was hoping to beat it with AMLN, or at least finish in the green, but alas, it was not to be. But I'm not alone, as only 4 contestants out of around 50 managed to beat the indices. Even Doug's solid 15% gain lost to the Dow's 18%. And only 2 of those people did it for an entire year's worth of POTW play. Congrats again, Rob and Gator... you two are

HUGE!!!
