Portfolio of the Week

[skiracer]

All contestants were asked the same question:
If you win the crown for this pageant, what is the next step you will take?

I would use my crown to fight world hunger, build schools in all of the 3rd world countries, eliminate aids and all other life threatening diseases, stop the Antartic and Artic ice caps from melting, help bring peace throughout the world, save the rainforests and with what is left help the Yankees get another strong starting pitcher. That is what I would do if I were to win this pageant.

I picked DE because it was breaking out of a decending triangle.

Csx

Short CSX for me, please.

Well Lye, what do you think. The offer remains open for awhile longer. Of course it still would need the approval of El Supremo regarding the rules, of which I don't think there is one covering this type of situation, but I'm still open to the switch if you want to do it. Big difference in the percentages from minus to plus. I own them both so I wouldn't mind rooting for you either way.

No thanks Ski, you are trying to trick me again because you know full well that FORG will pull a HOKU tomorrow.... and gap up about 112%.

If I win the crown with FORG this week, I will donate all my winnings to AYIIS (anti Yankee immigration institute of the south). This is a great non-profit group dedicated to stopping the illegal immigration of NJ Yankees into VA.

Boy I hope it does and you win by the largest margin in the history of the POTW. It doesn't look like I'm going to do it with AOB this week either. I got stopped out at 13.35 earlier today. Should have sold it when everyone else was bailing at around 14. I'm looking for a re-entry as soon as I see what's going on with it today. May not have bottomed yet but I still like it at this level of lower. Also should have sold it in the POTW but was tied up in meetings all morning and wasn't really watching it. Just got back to my screens. I hate it when business interferes with my stock trading. These people think they own you just because they pay you.

I got my green card for travelling in the south back in the early 1970's and it's grandfathered in from that date. So I can still cross the Mason-Dixon line although many northerners, especially from NJ, are not permitted access to the south. I still plan on coming down sometime and teaching the southerners the proper use of the NJ Soprano slang phrases "dee's and doe's and whatta youse up ta".

Hang on a minute... I thought that Yankees were defined as anyone who lives north of the Alabama border?

[New-born baby]

Great trade, NBB!

Thanks, Peanuts. And truth is I got out of CSX profitably today, too, in real life. I didn't have to eat that trade (praise the Lord!).

[Websman]

New trade...

RMBS - short

week 3, day 3

Week 3 - Stock Pickers Pageant
Day 3 - Evening Wear

All contestants were to present themselves to the judges wearing their choice of attire:

The judges were not impressed with many of the contestants attire, except for the best ones of this section- Stkytreat, wearing neon NUAN shorts brought the crowd and the judges to their feet with the best in show. Second place went to riverbabe with a beautiful forest green gown. And third went to a contestant that tried to grab another contestant's wardrobe before he realized what was going on- a quick change got New-born baby 3rd place for this section of the pageant... nice choo-choo PJ's, dude

Lyehopper streaked across the stage with a FORG and received more negative points. Didn't your mother ever tell you to never run with forgs?
Gatorman's aligator-skin boots did not sit well with the PETA judges
Skiracer should reconsider wearing Mr. Market's clothing after he throws it in the trash
and Peter Hansen may as well become a spokesman for Hansen Energy Drinks when he walks around in his Monster suit

No Webs, you got it all wrong.... Yankees actually live south of the Georgia border and north of the VA border.... You, my Vulcan bud, might as well live in NJ yourself dude!

Whoa, just wait a minute. We don't want him up here in NJ. Lock up the Florida state lines.
