Hi Stenzrob,

The timestamp on your post is 10:48, so you get the opening price in the next minute of trading. At 10:49, SCLD opened at $1.18. The extra .03 would have been nice, but I'm not

You're a bull again? That vector switches around like a tornado!

Well it can act like a tornado, but actually ... Vector was bearish the whole time from Dec 15 to yesterday so it held that bias for 15 trading days and applying it to my current trigger system rewarded over 200 YM futures points per contract after commissions .... so it didn't do too badly considering the sideway price action since the signal......and the bullish signal last night has apparently nailed it thus far! The INDU seems to be in a new 1 impulse up from a Fuzzy C, so bullish potential is excellent. And remember, we're in a monthly INDU 3 impulse up.....typically the biggest wave of 'em all.

week 2, day 4

Down the back stretch, IIC spits in the eye of Rob's horse and slowed it down enough for him to pass, Jiesen is trying to keep up with IIC and is neck and neck with Rob, now. Karel saw his opportunity and is taking the rail to pass Rob and Jeisen as they talk over who is going to push IIC off his horse. Still back in corner #2 is riverbabe, who fell off her horse out of the gate and is now running after the pack on foot.

The leaders going into the final turn are the super speedy stenzrob, who's amazing gallop on the backstretch has put him a full length ahead of the thoroughbred spike, and the cruise-control peanuts still maintains his steady pace to the line. Stenzrob and peanuts are moving along at the same pace, so it looks like spike has a chance for the finish.

I'm pulling for you, riverbabe

I'm in this stock with real money since Wednesday @ 22.50, thanks to Runner. He's the one that brought it to the table.

my pick for next week

I'll take EXP long on Monday morning, please. Off now to a ski trip with the youth group from church.

[IIC]

out ATHR...buy NAPS...IIC

[peanuts]

I'll take EXP long on Monday morning, please. Off now to a ski trip with the youth group from church.

I'm sorry stenzrob, but I cannot accept your pick at this time. The rules clearly state that a player must wait until after the close on the last trading day of the week before the player can enter a pick for the next week. ie, you have to wait until 4:00 pm, today to make your pick.

If you are saying that you're leaving for the weekend and you will not be able to post a pick before the market close on Tuesday (the first trading day next week), then I can make your pick to be EXP, but you will be "carved in stone" until Friday's close.

Rules are rules, and I can't go about breaking them- even if it is a church group

Enjoy the slopes!!

[stenzrob]

I'm sorry stenzrob, ...

I will come back and repost on Monday. Sorry to be such a klutzo.

week 2 results

There were some very fast horses in the race this week, folks. We have 4 players with percentage scores in double digits!

Stenzrob, being absent from the forum for some time, comes out of obscurity with a vengence. Halfway through the race, he took the lead, went on cruise control, and never looked back. His horse came in first place this week with a whopping 14.56% gain in his first week of play!!! That horse was mighty big, infact, it was $$$HUGE$$$ Congrats, stenzrob on the finest pick of the fleet

Spikefader brings up the #2 spot riding a little horse with longs legs. APAC just kept going and going, and was going fast enough to keep peanuts and Jiesen right at its heels. Good show, spike!

It was a photo finish for 3rd place, but peanuts eeks out Jiesen for the bronze. Rumors are going around that monkey business affected the focus of Jiesen's horse, but nothing has yet been proven. Honorable mention goes out for a horse that missed 3rd by 1/20th of a percentage point!

Some other notables: Karel, Rob and IIC fought it out all race long. IIC was photographed spitting in Karel's horse's eye, but the camera was a piece of junk from Altria, so no penalties were placed due to picture quality. It was later learned that riverbabe was riding her horse backwards from the start, and Lyehopper wasn't allowed to enter a cow, so he decided to take the cash instead. If StkyTreat had not been feeding his horse candy before the race, it might have been able to focus. Ski's horse was left on the slopes last week and seemed a little stiff to run again. It was later found that NBB laced his apples with steriods, and his horse died after the race.

GOLD: STENZROB
SILVER: SPIKEFADER
BRONZE: PEANUTS
