Portfolio of the Week

[billyjoe]

Lye,
I'll admit it. PARL rules and I hope ACTU will also. Do you use stops? At what point would you get concerned about ACTU ? Spike's got his eye pealed on it too so odds are it will make it. Scifos' SGG is alright speaking from a mostly Kraut point of view.

Wow...could I have made a worse pick??? HSR tanked big time... But I'm going to stick it out and look for a recovery.

It's a good thing I didn't buy this in my real portfolio, but of course I play my riskier picks here. In real life, I bought IMOS at $7.90.

So...my POTW record sucks this year...but my real bank balance grows larger every day. I'm good...jeeeeejaaaaaajeeeeee!!!

I watch the market pretty closely so I don't use actual automatic stops. I do have stops in mind though. I rarely let a loser get me for more than 10% but it has happened.

I'm very bullish on ACTU. I have a friend who's stock picking skills I really trust and he owns a ton of ACTU. I have researched them pretty good myself, I also listened to the latest CC.... I think this stock could go to $10 and beyond.

btw.... I am just as bullish on GEHL, I just want a $28.50 entry.

......If this happens I vote for a lifetime POTW ban....

I concur.....

Lifetime Ban

Okay, since there appears to be a general consensus on the lifetime ban penalty, I'll go along with it too. In fact, when I propounded the five-week thing, I really wanted to say lifetime, but I thought people would say I was being too rough and try to reign me in.

Therefore, let it be known henceforth and forevermore: anyone caught changing a POTW pick, using the edit feature, in such a way as to undo or change a bad trade during regular trading hours, shall without mercy be banned forthwith from participation in the contest, without possibility of parole. There shall be shame and humiliation upon the offender and his or her household to the tenth generation.

Just to avoid any misunderstanding, this warning does not apply to modifications of a "pick post" made during off-market hours to a post that was originally created during the same off-market period; however that practice is still discouraged, and it is always better to use a new post to make a change in one's position.

Rob,
It's OK if you want to ban me for life after my GEM(S) of a pick this week. It may be the worst stock in the history of the POTW.

Whoah!!! Down 41% today so far!!! Yeah that was a bad pick alright but not grounds for banishment.

Perfect entry that one Before. After. 21.8% in 64 minutes. Not bad jejeje. I'm gonna hold this for a swing from that entry. Thanks for the heads up billyjoe. Sorry it whacked you in POTW

[B.J]

Billy Joe, I sure hope you didn't REALLY own it.

[billyjoe]

B.J,
Thanks for your concern. I don't really own it but was seriously considering buying. And to think just a couple days ago I said to myself " why doesn't anyone else see what I do in GEMS". Almost fell off my lazy boy when I saw the morning quote then I remembered I didn't really own it.
