Week 26 (13), Day 5 -- And The Curatin Comes Down On Q2

Even with a last-minute fumble, a bad MOVE as it were, the formidable IIC and his 13.85% walk away easily with the gold medal this week! Excellent play on OMNI, Mr. Fresh! (Good thing you weren't holding XING. Whoah, Nellie!)

As those Brazilian reals keep flowing, the Q is counting his chips, as Banco Bradesco shot up an impressive 9.09% this week! Are you afraid of Ernie's "ghost"? A word of advice: be afraid ... be very afraid. Boo!!! heh heh

The Vulcan Trader must've thought he was Pretty Darn Cute with that 2.68% gain on PDC, but then he had Scottie beam him over to a lighting company called "Color Kinetics" (CLRK). Okay, show of hands, how many of you, when you saw the ticker CLRK, thought it was the company that makes Clark Bars? I did.

Well, the second quarter comes to a close with a resounding thud. Congrats to the three winners this week, and to the eight who got through the somewhat painful quarter with net goose eggs in the loss column! Let's make the third quarter much better than this one. Repeat after Doug: "Every day, and every way, it's getting better and better ... " (actually a John Lennon lyric)

Just so you know, I gave serious consideration to changing the rules for the third quarter. I would like to make this truly a weekly pick contest, where everyone picks one stock prior to Monday's open, and when the market closes Friday, see how everyone did. No buying or selling during the week. Just a weekly pick, period. Very clean-cut, easy to understand, and freeing everyone from having to monitor their picks tick-by-tick. not only that, but it would certainly make things much easier on the scorekeeper!

For now I've decided to let things ride with the status quo. At some point, though, I may institute said changes.

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9
Week 10 | Week 11 | Week 12 | Week 13 | Week 14 | Week 15 | Week 16 | Week 17 | Week 18
Week 19 | Week 20 | Week 21 | Week 22 | Week 23 | Week 24 | Week 25

The Q Wants BBD Again

Quasi-Ernie is going to go long BBD again.

[IIC]

Yes Rob...I did almost blow it...But the angel came through.

As far as the contest rules...Being able to change pix during the week is what sets this contest apart from the others...I stopped participating in all the other contests I was in because you couldn't change...this is more realistic IMO. Why be stuck all week w/ something you might've sold in real life on Monday? Actually, I'd like to see us be able to make more trades...But I realize that scorekeeping is not a paying job.

BTW...The one I use is "Every day in every way I'm getting better and better"...There seems to be some disagreement as to whether it is "Day by Day" or "Everyday" but I didn't get it from John Lennon...I got it from EMILE COUE`,,,THE PROPHET OF AUTOSUGGESTION

Websman,

I have proved my worth. What say you- is there room in the VTP for some peanuts? My Vulcan death grip has been steadily improving.

And just for good measure, I also tried to sneak in an alternative trade into MRY at $2.67... well well well, would you look at what happened there... IF I was able to trade into MRY, I WOULD HAVE taken out Douggie Fresh, IIC- cancelling my negative ~8% to a positive net gain of ~19%....when I would have sold at $3.40 Who else, but a Vulcan, can catapult themselves from last to first at warp speed?

I request a meeting of the inner circle.
