    • Err, still confused. I was or was not allowed to switch? If not, I guess I'll just stay put.

        Rob,
        They just announced that PARL and PEIX are merging to form good smelling ethanol. The best part is you can short the stock or go long and make money either way.

          Switching Positions

          Sorry, Bo, I thought it was clear. No, you were not allowed to switch, because at the time of your post New-born Baby was still short PARL. And like I said, your attempt to switch was thereby nullified, and your short position in ESCL remained.

          Just for everyone's information, here's the deal: being the scorekeeper for this contest is not easy. It's difficult enough to keep up with it as it is, without starting to make provisions for: if thus-and-so happens, then I'm doing this or that. As long as I remain temporary scorekeeper, the lid on that can of worms shall remain tighter than a banjo string.

            Well I've never gotten a whiff of ethanol, but I like the smell of gasoline. Has anyone here smelled ethanol? If so, how would you describe its smell? Billy, maybe it already smells better than P.H.

                Did you hear of the merger of A & P with Stop & Shop?

                They're gonna call it," Stop & P!!"

                    We have an ethanol plant just a mile from the church. Makes the entire town smell like a brewery. Don't you know what 'corn liquor' is? It's whiskey. Ethanol is pure whiskey. They add 5% gasoline to the product before loading it into railroad cars to keep people from drinking the stuff.

                      Do I know what corn liquor is? Dude, I have a jar of it in my kitchen. What I didn't know is what you said about its being the same stuff as ethanol.

                          Not much time today, folks ...

                          BoSox's ESCL short escalated to new heights. Alice's NIHD short will not be de-NIHD (read "denied"). And Jiesen "xinged" into 3rd with a well-timed bail on his XING position. Congrats, all!

                          Finally a little market relief ...

                              Jiesen,
                              You must be the U.S. ambassador for ZING . I predict if the market gains 100 points everyday from now until July 1st , we'll be in good shape.

                                nah, I just happened to be paying attention this morning when they announced 2005 guidance of $1+ EPS (first real profits ever for XING!).

                                Too bad I didn't act on this info with any real $$. But don't have the stomach for that right now...
