Portfolio of the Week

[stenzrob]

I concur with ski. Joisey is crowded enough already.
On the POTW, EXP was nice enough to make the effort to bring me back (slightly) above water for the week. And speaking of water, I am so looking forward to the swimsuit competition!

Week 3 - End of Week Score

After the poor showing yesterday for the evening wear, much of the audience left. They were not too enthusiastic to see Friday's swimsuit section of the pageant. Those who left did not miss much. The judges were squirming in their seats.

Boos were heard from the crowd when Lyehopper stepped out wearing scuba gear. dmk112 wore a thong and one judge puked. Skiracer found some of Mr. Market's old trunks and tried to keep them around his waist as he walked the catwalk, but when he did his turn, the crowd learned why Mr Market threw out those AOB trunks... there's a big hole in it!

The winners for the swimsuit part of the pageant were:
3rd- sirtuck, wearing VHS tape, and that's it
2nd- Karel, wearing Neanderthal wolf-skin bottoms
1st- stenzrob, wearing nothing at all but the bald eagle!

After the judges tallied the scores from each section of the contest, the top 3 for the pageant were chosen from the motley mix. And the winners are... wait, what's this? It looks like a tie for 2nd and 3rd! Peanuts and Websman have both had great scores, but Websman barely gets the silver trophy. Peanuts was beaten by 8/100ths of a percentage point to take the bronze trophy. And the winner, by a margin of only 1/10th of percentage point issssssssssssssssssss..................... SPIKEFADER!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Spike... you are the stock picking pageant winner.

GOLD: SPIKEFADER
SILVER: WEBSMAN
BRONZE: PEANUTS

Being fourth is boring. Congratulations, Spike, Webs, and our glorious scorekeeper Peanuts. At least I got a second place in something. Proud to be evolved! (Though not necessarily from Neanderthals.)

Regards,

Karel

week 3 POTW explanation

It is kindly requested that the top 3 players explain why they chose to play the POTW in the manner which they have.

To open the week, I chose HRT, a healthcare related stock that has been showing alot of bullish price action over the last few months. The sector was improving and I really like the intraday set-up with HRT leading into the week. This chart explains what I was looking at. The black vertical line is the opening of trading for the week:

Once I sold HRT, I moved to being long on AOS. I like this company's fundamentals and I knew that they would report earnings on Monday, Jan 22. I was hoping for some type of price appreciation going into the report, but AOS did not perform very well after I chose it... basically traded flat. The following link will direct you to some of my posts already made regarding AOS: LINK

So that's why I played last week the way that I did...

[Lyehopper]

I'll take FORG (long) again....

Peanuts.... FORG (long) for me please....

POTW Pick

Will take MOT long.

Peanuts,

HRT was a solid pick, dude. I note this week it is on the Voodootrader Top 100 and just made my Spike's 8 List this weekend!

As for my own POTW picks lately (and Scuttlebutt picks too) I've just been selecting the best looking candidates from my list of 8, which is basically a trend-spotting method. It's found a couple of real gems lately, such as JST +56% in 13 days and FTGX +40% in 15 days.

And for this week's pick I'm going long PNCL.

Good luck y'all.
