Portfolio of the Week

[JohnHenry]

Congrats to RL, Gary611, and Mr. Peanut. LOL

[JohnHenry]

He's only 15??? Well that does it...I'll never play again!!! jejeje...

Just kidding of course. It sounds like we may need to start paying more attention to this young dude!

Styky...Dude! Whatever you do, don't ever get bored and quit this stuff. You've got a heck of a future ahead of you...Besides I could use another VTP inner circle member....That is, if my senior most member Lye doesn't mind.

Thanks but I had many great teachers on this board. I couldn’t have done good without them.

Yeah ok, I will be 15 in September and I can’t wait to get my driving permit. Wow I didn’t know if I was going to make it this week. I was down over 10 points last week and it bummed me out for the weekend.

Once I notice HANS wasn’t on the IBD number one list anymore I wanted to buy back BBBB on Wednesday when I was up close to 6% and wanted to short HANS that day but I was unsure and scared. So researching some more to be sure but when I was done I was down a bit. I have to learn to trust my instinct when to buy, sell, and at the same time not to get too girly.

I’m happy with this week’s gain but I’m not sure I will be this lucky next week.

Thanks to everyone on the board for encouraging me to read IBD and to learn how to analyze the charts. I still don’t understand the chart but trying. Thanks again

Stky,
PM me your address. I have a disc that I will let you use that will really help you with the technical analysis and chart interpretation. I'll send it to you if you would like to take a look at it.

"Do The Hustle" (But Not the Van McCoy Version)

I'm especially impressed with 15 year old Stky. He made a nice gain using both his trades this week. First he profited short.... Then long.... WTG dude! Keep it up!

Lye, that's why I've nicknamed Sticky "The Hustler." He came on here asking a lot of simple questions, as though he doesn't know what's going on, and then proceeded play like a master. (Maybe I'll call him Van McCoy ... heh heh)

By the way, I believe he was short on both his positions this week; first BBBB, then HANS.

[Lyehopper]

Start me in Ca$h Rob....

Yes he was.... My mistake.... And he's not 15..... He's 14!....LOL!

BTW.... Put me in ca$h please Rockin'Rob....

I'm Going Long EBAY

I'll take EBAY long this week ... just as I did with my real $$$. I may be the idiot, but I think it's idiotic to be selling it at these levels (P/E 33.5). With gas prices going through the ceiling, on-line purchasing should become even more attractive—not to mention bargain-hunting. IMO, EBAY is a steal, boys and girls. The risk/reward ratio must be approching zero. Also, it has gone down the last 7 weeks in a row and 12 out of the last 13. This is the kind of fear upon which smart money can and does prey. EBAY's got one of the slickest business models in the world, and I view being able to buy it for this price as a gift. All just my opinion of course.

EBAY reports Q2 earnings on Thursday. Is that good or bad? You decide.

Rob,
You are simply wonderful. You really listed all the bullish factors that I look for when I take a stock long "Down seven weeks in a row" and "12 out of the last 13." Now that's real inspiration! I can see you now, giving a pep talk to the troops just before D-Day. They'd really be set to go when you get through with them.

Please forgive me, I am just playing with you. I really appreciate your work on POTW--and all your posts and work, I like it very much. But I just had to tease you on this one.

Oh then you really think his analysis stinks an is doggie poo poo.

Ahh, yes, this from the guy who said the Q should have gone with AXR last week!

Well think of EBAY's dropping 7 weeks in a row like this: if you're standing under an anvil that's just been thrust into the air and you notice that, well, for the last ten consecutive one-tenths of a second in-a-row, it has gone upward; would you therefore reason: I have no problem standing in this spot, as it should continue to go upward?

I wanted Ernie to go with AXR because I figured it would be a loser all week. Remember the charts I posted before the pick? I said, "Don't pick AXR unless Ernie is going to get his 15% by shorting a stock."

That aside, I still have to tease you a little bit about something, don't I? And I really do think it is appropriate that you included a picture of your friend and mine, Mr. Cramer. That really does inspire! Now if you would just conjure up a picture of Wm. O'Neill to go with it . . . .

[Rob]

I convinced Bill O. what a great bargain EBAY is, and his eyes bugged out.

Rob,
You sold me on EBAY. Anything Wm. O'Neill pumps, well, it has to be hot! Question: is EBAY on the IBD top 100 this week? And what of AXR? Nobody much took my poll . . . and nobody agreed with me last week that AXR didn't deserve to be on the list. And it was number twelve. Pretty sick list, eh?

But your art work is A NUMBER ONE.

[spikefader]

Rob's sold on EBAY,
he's gonna trade it long,
and I'm rootin' for success
and a victory song.

But if you want the TA truth,
no matter how it's read,
I really think it's gonna get whacked
down to 15.00 in the weeks ahead.

But good luck Mr. Rob.

Shakespear was a mere boy in comparison to the Shakesfader! (I also understand that he lost a mint in the markets, too).

Quasi-Ernie Sticks With NUTR

The Q will take NUTR long once again this week.
