Portfolio of the Week

[Websman]

Sorry Spike, but picking sub $5 stocks is more about trying to win some contest than providing something useful to the group.....I don't concentrate on sub $10 let alone sub $5 stocks....Therefore, I am at a distinct disadvantage when someone picks a $2 stock and it drops 25 cents.....But I am too busy trying to make real money trading rather than win some contest....

Oooohhhh.... Now I see the light. I see the error of my ways. I have been sinning by buying low price stocks. I am not a serious investor. How will I ever be able to live with myself for profiting from trash stocks?
I must now go and repent...

[Lyehopper]

Ok!!!!ok!!!!ok!!!!

Come on now fellas! We've all been here long enough to get past this kinda stuff. The $5 argument does not hold water. Everyone has the same chance to play any stock as long as it's not an OTC BB issue. I am the current points leader and I don't think I've ever (or rarely) played a stock under $5.... But I just might if I darn well want to.

Ski.... Put up a pick dude. That ain't like you man, You've never missed a POTW since I've been here.

Jim.... I too have been trading since 1988, I was a Morgan Stanley customer and payed out the a$$ back (in the day) as well. Now I am now an Ameritrade Apex customer and I payed out around $35k last year in trade comissions and margin interest (and I happen to have a special deal with them). I trade to make money as you do.... But.... I also enjoy the simple competition here at the POTW. I'd really like you to continue to play as I think I can learn from you and perhaps you can pick up a stock tip or two yourself. How about it?

I am taking CERS short here.

New-born:
An interesting pick. CERS has definitely been in a nose-dive since the February sell-off unexpectedly began.
This might turn out to be this week's winner.

Disgusting. CELL again gave away almost 1% at the open. But anyway: go CELL!

Ooooooohhhh....JAH. Nice one Lyehopper. Now we can see how effective the new expanded search option is.

Hopefully, I'll be coming back from Europe with some more ideas to help improve the VTP...

Some contestants whining about sub $5 stocks again I see.

Newsflash naysayers........shorting sub $5.00 stocks is real, it's goin' on every day, and it ain't no fancy, tricky, unrealistic thing to do. A decent broker like IB are all too happy for you to short sell stocks like ECR. There's no problem, no big deal.

Jim........not realistic?!? lol funny stuff. How long you been trading?? And have you ever traded with direct access brokers? Or maybe you've preferred retail your whole life....and lived in ignorance of the edge a good broker offers.

Shorting sub $5's is life dudes. And anyone in doubt about that needs to wake up and smell the roses. And, frankly, suggesting it's not realistic is simply displaying their own inexperience and ignorance.

I respect that some might not like the rule, IIC says shorting is against his religion, and I respect that.......but dudes, shorting is a reality, whether it's $3 or $103.

And I think the contest should be as close to reality as possible. Why should this competition be structured to favor people who prefer more expensive stocks? So they can be competitive? If yall can't be competitive on an open and level playing field, then give the game away and go cry to momma and tell her life ain't fair and you don't wanna play no more.

We all share the same rules, and share the same risk. And we all share the same reality. I love competition and success and will applaud anyone doing well.

Yet again I feel like flickin' foreheads!

I tried to short sell a small order of ECR today and could not. I guess my broker just plain out SUCKS. I called my mother and told her and she told me to just "suck it up" and stop cryin'.... Then I flicked my own forehead.... OUCH!.... Then I cussed out adman and ran him off the board.... I feel better.

SKIRACER!!!! COME BACK DUDE!!!!

I'll MAKE SPIKE GIVE YOU A DOUGHNUT IF YOU THROW UP A PICK!!!!jeje

YOU ARE TOO HUUUUGE TO LEAVE THE POTW LIKE THIS!!!!
