Portfolio of the Week

[riverbabe]

Ski, nice come from behind to beat me! Congratulations! I won't hold it against you! Happy to see you so exuberant about your win, and you should be! You stuck with it and it paid off bigtime.

And congratulations to Pete! Great job!

I'll hold off on next week's pick for now - need to find it! L&K to all, Riverbabe.

River,
It's always nice to win the POTW but twice as nice when I do win because I only play in the POTW what I own so if the play is good enough to win the POTW it usually means a decent score for me. I thought for sure you had it locked up this week with the short day on Friday but there was a little something or another on Bernie Schaefers intraday Blog that set it off so there was some racing luck going on there for me. This type of finish is what's beginning to make this weekly contest so enjoyable to participate in. That and the caliber of the participants is definitely raising the bar of late. So glad that you are on board with us. Definitely a positive affect. Good luck this coming week.

..Spikefader, my SWHC short didn't work out as planned...

Yeah, neither did my almost-pick of ERF short. You would have won by 1.6% had I stuck with it.

SWHC has got some conflicting TA in my book. The weekly is worth looking at:

Better luck this week dude. You should have been playing that parabolic wonder, CAL, from your Peanut's growth portfolio, +27.69% since you released it 1 month ago!

Spikefader,

what is that green indicator on the top of the graph?


I'd be tickled pink if you could explain it to me.

Thanks

Nice job, Ski, and everyone else who beat me this week (everyone!).

Still, sign me up again for AMLN long next week, please, Mr. Rob!

Will take BRCD long

[scifos]

Good to see you around, Scifos. Where did you find this stock? What is going on with it? A pinky that might blast off, eh?

Oh right, no pinksheets. Well then I'll throw my hat in with FIA Long.

VION Long For ME

Congrats to Ski and River babe for a job well done ....My mother used to tell me ...Stay away from Fast Women and Fast cars ....I should have listened LOL! I have my "EYE ON" VION long for me !

[Lyehopper]

I believe that was Stockboy's Uncle's Fave...Hmmm...

"The Stockboy" really loved his "uncle"....SsSsSsSsssss! I don't think Scifos had anything in common with those fellas other than liking FIA.... btw, Good to see you back Sci.... how's the wife and kids? (surely you've got kids by now)

DEF.... I ran a search for FIA.... and "Cashmaker" (whatever happened to Cashmaker anyhow) mentioned it in july 2005 (up over 100% since then) and "Adman" mentioned it in April 2006 (up about 35% since then).... "The Stockboy" never mentioned FIA, he just drove a Fiat and "Uncle Addy" really thought it was cute....lol

Regards,

My Pick

I'm liking AXS this week. I'm liking the insurance business (where the Oracle of Omaha makes vast fortunes). I'm liking a 0.4 PEG. I'm liking that it's current P/E is < 7. I'm liking its sales growth. I'm liking the Debt/Eq. ratio of 0.12. I'm liking $1.11 billion in lev. free cash flow. I'm liking that it's sittin right on its 50-day moving avg. I'm liking that despite putting up lots of nice numbers, it's only 10.2% higher than it was a year ago.

All that having been said ...

AXS long
