Portfolio of the Week

[billyjoe]

Jiesen,
I apologise, but I thought I saw a different post. I'm just so confused, it's not nice to mess with the elderly. Guess I'll fill out the AARP application and send 'er in.

What can I say?

BillyJoe,

You DO know I was just teasing you, don't you? I just figured someone has to give you a hard time occasionally. And no, I don't want to lose my "good steward" title.

[billyjoe]

Yes, New-Born I know. You are still a good steward , but you'll have to multiply the bread (loaves) faster next time in order to win.

Yoiu're a good man

Now, how about this? I am going to ask you and Runner about SIMG. This is the company that owns the technology behind HDTV. What do you know about this company? Tobin Smith, whom I think is a smart guy, says its a double if I buy now.

[scifos]

My congrats to Jiensen and a stellar pick. Mine just blew up in my face.

[billyjoe]

New-Born Baby,
Tobin Smith is no Mr.Market. You probably won't see a list of his recommendations ever posted with the results. As one person put it " I enjoy watching Tobin Smith on Fox, he's often wrong , but full of enthusiasm."
As for SIMG. It recently posted negative earnings, this for a quarter that was supposed to be a blockbuster with the high demand for HDTV at Christmastime. It's price is down about 33% from the high. Its chart looks bad. I know Tobin Smith says wait until HDTV takes off and this thing will explode. Any Mr.Market pick would be a better choice in my opinion. SIMG does seem like it can't miss, but something usually goes wrong along the way.
That's my observation.

BillyJoe,

What are you trying to tell me? That Tobin Smith is a Jim Cramer on Donuts?
I had no idea this guy was on TV. (I don't own one, so I am ignorant of the financial gurus on the tube). Incredible!

Well, that explains the recommendation of SIMG. He wants the price to go up so he can get out!

We need 4 people to challenge Jiesen for the next "Portfolio of the Week"
Don't be shy. Think of the glories that await the winner! It has changed Scifos and Jiesens lives. It's better than winning the lottery. Mr. Market will leave his weight lifting bench to hang on your every comment. You'll be attacked in other forums.
Pick 1-10 stocks you like and they will be tracked for a week. Given $10,000 in play money with no strings attached, think of the possibilities. It's so exciting, excuse me while I catch my breath. .................. First timers will get first priority, but if we must, we'll take some old timers trying to win back their credibility. It starts at market opening Monday. As added incentive, if Jiesen is the only contestant, he automatically wins and we'll never hear the end of it.

Hi guys.

OK, I'll play for some fun. Put me down for:

long SIRI
short MFLX
short TDK
short AFL
long DUK
long EENC

[MickyMouse]

Here are my picks (all longs, may not be a good week for bull)
ingr, iig, yell, agh

Knowing that I have little chance against these two opponents, still respectfully submit.

Micky

[MickyMouse]

Just found out that iig and yell are in IIC's watchlist. Let's how things turn out.

Micky

[New-born baby]

Yell

IIC,et al,

YELL isn't just on your watch list. I've noticed a couple others who have it on their recommend list.

[jiesen]

ready for this?

ok, here goes my pick for next week:

short GMSV

why mess with success? and forget picking a long to go with it... last time that just diluted my win by half. I'm going all or nothing on this one, now. I expect no less than an 80% gain this week. 0.0002, here we come! another few weeks of this, and I'll probably get a whole new symbol to short.

[IIC]

I have to go along with Newborn. I think a pick should be realistically tradeable...IIC

[spikefader]

Ya, I agree. Let's keep it real.
