[spikefader]

Congrats Rob! You rock.

And Lye and Runner. Hugeness!

[jiesen]

wow, some serious carnage this week... congrats on the win, Rob! you are HUGE!

[Lyehopper]

HUUUUGE win Rockin'Rob!

Wish I had just held my play till the close.....BUT then again you could have sold IMCL at 11:15 today too.LOL.... COOL thing is.... I held my position in real life and you Own IMCL.

Your score is wrong though, I think.... I show the open tick @16:00pm for IMCL @ $41.91 giving you a gain of 9.86% dude.... I'd rather lose by over a half percent than by just 0.03%....LOL!

Runner HUGE short on PARL dude!.... And a special thanks to SPIKE!!!! for some nice behind the scenes TA and opinion he fed me this week. Thanks dude!!!! You helped save me some real dollars on PARL with your quick opinion.

Where's Curly when you need him?!!

Rob, great job! You Da Man!

TWTWTW, a real shitty one, if you can handle the truth!!
I have to get rid of ole Jack, he really scares me!
This market is going thru some weird shit, even the POTW regulars are starting to look mortal!
I promise, this weekend I'm goin' down & dirty to rise from the minuses. There is ALWAYS money to be made on the street, so this losing streak will end, you got my word, you CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
Sheese US, enough of that already!!

Wow, MFLX got slaughtered big-time as well! And on a good earnings report too! Can anyone spell "buying opportunity"? And if so, is this one? Nevermind the first question; if you can accurately answer that second one, I'll buy you a beer!

Yes.

Now I want you to meet me in 8 months, beer in hand.

[New-born baby]

Long time to hold

Yes.

Now I want you to meet me in 8 months, XXXX in hand.

8 months is next February. If you owned a stock with a stronger option chain, you could have made 16% or more while you wait. Just sell a DEC or JAN call.

Picks

Just came back from a bud's graduation shindig. I stood close to the fire so long I probably smell like Smokey Bear. Goin' to another tomorrow night.

But enough of that. Since the ASCO abstracts are being pre-released to the onological community next week, I'm expecting more good things to come for embattled ImClone. So IMCL long for the coming week!

Quasi-Ernie is so embarassed for that poor showing with MFLX this week, he's ashamed to even show his imaginary face. But you KNOW he's got to play MFLX long again--for the bounce, baby! So that the Q's pick for next week.

What A Dope

I show the open tick @16:00pm for IMCL @ $41.91 giving you a gain of 9.86% dude

Yeah, Lyehopper, 41.91 was the opening tick. But some genius decided to sell at the last second for 22 cents cheaper, and so the closing price became 41.69. I'd like to give that guy a boot to the head.

Scifos,
Here's my miserable performance back to the last pick that finished in positive territory. Week of 12/22/05 . It's actually worse than it appears since on more than one occassion I picked 2 losers in the same week.
------------------My Bad Portfolio----------------------------------------
GEMS -46.02%
ANDE -4.84
SPIL -4.95
HOM -.75
EGY -16.07
HOKU-9.32
FTHR-1.16
SYNP -22.16
DWCH -9.59
KFY -1.02
ESCL -6.76
NGAS -1.42

Had I actually bought all these and reinvested remains each week in the next pick , I would have lost 76.61% of total invested. I boldly state this record will never be broken. I am the Worst Stock Picker of all Time ! It is documented here as is the record of the greatest of all time , Mr.Market.
Now the good news. In reality I still hold 4 of these with major gains in HOM and EGY lesser gain in KFY and slight loss in SPIL.
