Drutzen,
You're in with VPHM.

Can anyone tell me how I can bring the list of picks from the previous page over to this page so I don't have to rewrite it again here? Thanks.

Jiesen report in. MM throw us a bone and give us a couple of picks for this week please.

left click and highlight the text you want, then right click and choose copy from the menu that pops up. then, when you post, right click and choose paste from the popup menu.

Webs & BJ,
You guys are the best. Thanks.

[B.J]

No problem Ski. Just award Webs and I first place and we're square

I'll bite:

short GOOG

I dunno if I'll be calling the top here or not, but if the market has a bad week, GOOG will surely be under 250 by Friday, and I'll likely win this round.

GOOG may do fine long-term, but in the short run it just HAS to have gotten ahead of itself.

[skiracer]

Jiesen,
You're in with GOOG, the only short play in the group this week.

[jiesen]

yeouch! more fried GOOG shorts today...

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=GOOG&t=5dguess I could have picked a better short play, eh?

Maybe I should have gone ahead with my original plan to go long LJPC today, as it's up 100% today (33% from the open). Oh well, at least I own it, and am not really short GOOG!

[Websman]

Ouch...It's not looking good for me this week.
I think I meant to say that I wanted to go short on my picks...didn't I?

Major congrats on that! I don't care if I win or lose the contest, as long as my account wins, and that would certainly apply to you.

Well that's it for the first trading day of the week. There are some options as far as exiting any position or setting stops. If you go back 3/4 pages you'll find the rules for these options if you care to exercise them. Any questions post them an I'll answer them for you. Here are a couple of quips for you to make those down picks a little more upbeat and to live by:

Circa 1968 or so: Be true to your teeth and they won't be false to you. Soupy Sales

Cambodia; winter of 1966: a friend in need is a pest. Skiracer

Ninner,
You're absolutely right. Sorry New-Born. What a shithead I am. Beat on you until you finally get into the game and then overlook your portfolio and leave you out of the first day's standings. I made the correction and set things straight. Actually you did quite well today. Good luck to all.
