Portfolio of the Week

[IIC]

Sirtuck...I was just coming here to switch my pick to ABB...but you have it...looks good if the volume picks up:

It is the first chart if you scroll down: http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/F...?obj=ID1659925

[IIC]

Thanks for the tip. My second post ever and look what I did. Can the post be removed? I didn't realize, until you pointed it out, that I couldn't do this. Makes perfect sense now that you mention it. Won't happen again.

Thanks!

You can delete it...but I can't.

I'll delete my post so they won't see your post in quotes. I doubt that they will come after you for a slip up...But they have come after 30 site owners that I've heard from over the past few years.

There is a certain line that they have to tolerate...But posting their ratings figures is not one of them...Best, Doug

PS...Just go to your post...Click EDIT below...Then click the DELETE circle...then Click the DELETE tab below

Well...This thread is for the contest...You could always start your own thread if you want to keep certain parameters...Or feel free to post whatever you want on my thread...I get a lot of readers but not many posters...As far as I'm concerned my thread is for posting potential winners...Fundamental, Technical, Long Term, Intermediate Term, Short Term, Day Trades...Whatever Looks Good...I'd actually like my thread to "Offer Something For Everyone"

ABB should move some on news

For potential losers, which thread should we consult?

I actually come up with a Losers Watchlist each morning (almost)...looking for potential rebounds

I think the TBV chicken is dead. Probably wouldn't even get a dead chicken bounce if I fired the chicken out of a cannon against a wall. I own last place this week.

Maybe not. Today's action in TBV could catch you up to the $CASH holders and my pick, which has performed about as well as making a pit stop.

I created a thread just for losing stocks. It just hasn't been used in a while...

It was a nice run today on TBV that should move me up a bit. I should have my head examined for taking a partial position on the first down day.

Wild ride for me this week for a lot of my trades. Will see what I can do next week.

Week 5, Final Score

Week 5 - Traffic Jam
Day 5 - And the winners are...

I don't know if it really counts when you have to drag your dog through the drive-thru line, but Scifos gets to Krispy Kreme just as they turn on the "hot now" sign. Gary made it to Timmy's just ahead of the time it took Scifos to get to Krispy Kreme. If that means something, I'm not sure what it is. Spike was able to go 5 miles while hopping on his one good foot, but it was nowhere as fast as he needed to go in order to place in the top three. Speaking of which, it was a close race to the end for 4 players. New-born baby really got cruising once he learned how the clutch worked, but that little VW was no match for RL on a skateboard, trying to get in the front row for the bikini contest. Were those scissors in his back pocket? I wonder what he would want to do with those... Karel proves that the Dutch can ride a bike better than any other nationality and he gets to church just in time for Chapter 1. Who can compete against modern technology? First of all, probably Mr. Market, but he's not part of the contest, so that leaves us with the rest of the players. The answer is nobody. Gatorman knew that and used his Gatorman Garmin to plot the fastest way to The Gatorhaus... yes, he was dressed as a gator, but this was no alligator restaurant. This was a German bar in Florida and the defending National Champion Florida Gators were playing Tennessee in Basketball. Nice pick, Gatorman. You're truely a dedicated fan and worker to be there a day early! Congrats!!!


Websman just spun his wheels the whole time. He didn't make it anywhere; it was just smoke for him. Peanuts ditched the Big Wheel for some Heelys shoes, but gave up the race when he lost his front teeth to the pavement. Skiracer got busted by the cops. It was a good thing that nobody got seriously hurt in the accident, but Rob and Big Bird got into a fight. Ernie (no, not THAT one ) had to break it up. One of our newest players, let-it-ride, showed us a few things: 1) that chicken-riding can be done in the first place 2) that proper motivation includes choking. and 3) Catching falling flu-infected Chinese chickens is tough work, but once you've got one, it can bounce better than rubber chicken. IIC just refused to put it in drive. He likes it when people stare.

It is kindly requested that the top 3 explain why they chose to play the POTW the way they did for the week.

Reason for POTW Pick

Peanuts:
I picked SFN for a combination of Technical and Fundamental reasons. Recently, it has been closing at the or near the high of the day after breaking out of a base on good volume.What it needed in my opinion was a good jobs report to push it higher. It got that this week. It is above both the 13 day and 50 day EMA's with PEG ratio of 1.015. I liked the fast line crossover on MACD and positive Histogram.
It 1st came to my attention from one of my momentum screens,
Go GATORS

[IIC]

Peanuts...You asked for reasons from the Top 3 pickers...What about the bottom 3???

I'll go first...I was very busy last weekend and did absolutely no DD...that's why I played QID and QLD so many times this week...Doesn't take an Einstein to Daytrade those 2 and I actually made some money on them overall.

So why MOT short?...Because of the unfavorable article in Barron's last weekend...How was I supposed to know Park and his buddy Carl were gonna gang up on me???...IIC

Congrats to Gator, Karel and Ray
