Portfolio of the Week

[B.J]

If everyone was able to throw in a different dollar amount, then the people who cannot afford as much (10000) as the other guy (100000) would complain. That would lead to political strife and class division within this board.

That's the last thing any of us wants

[B.J]

Sorry took so long, Gentlemen. VPHM's slight pullback did nothing to change Dru's domination of the leader board, but looky who's in second Too bad CMT (premature stop) and ERS (I don't short) didn't help me FOR REAL this week. I do own Dru's pick, though, and that makes me damn happy!

Please excuse me for my presumptuousness .... but I thought you had to pick a quantity of from 2 to 10 stocks .... Or have the rules "evolved" since the BJ's first post? If not, I "reckon" since I'm already officially disqualified for posting late, I vote to disqualify Dru for only having ONE pick, which is only 50% of the MINIMUM stocks needed to enter this contest! .... Of course I realize my presently being disqualified my also take away any "voting rights" I might have enjoyed as a qualified contestant, kinda like being a convicted felon might disqualify one from voting. If that's the case then just disreguard this protest post. Disclaimer: I never said I was a convicted felon.

[jiesen]

wow, good catch lye. I don't know when it happened, but at some point the rules did change to allow for a single pick, if only by precedent. guess you just had to be there, or go sifting through 100+ pages of old posts, to get the nuances of our POTW contest! also, the rules aren't subject to a vote, but are at the discretion of the host of the thread, who happens to be BJ this week. I'm sure he'd be happy to hand it off to you one of these weeks, and let you refine the rules as you see fit.

[RL]

Webs how the heck

did you pick ipix?

[billyjoe]

A bow to the Vulcan and a curse on the *#$&ing terrorists !

billyjoe

[B.J]

I do, in fact, consider one stock a portfolio. I'd rather not disqualify Dru, anyway, since I bought his pick last week, and have not regretted it I was going to put it in my portfolio, but it would have been dirty to steal his pick.

[B.J]

Agreed Billy Joe... While I congratulate Webs on his shrewd pick, I wish the gain would have come under better circumstances But, what other circumstances would cause security stocks to rally?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims in London and their families.

[Websman]

How did you pick ipix?

It was a pure dart throw...

[Lyehopper]

"I'm sure he'd be happy to hand it off to you one of these weeks, and let you refine the rules as you see fit".

No thanks .... I don't want such responsibility .... Plus it's more fun to just whine & complain.lol .... BJ you're doing one cracker jack job!

Some good stock pickers here ... IPIX! .... Wow! what a pick! Who ever heard of freakin IPIX?! that (low RV) thing would NEVER hit my radar screen .... and up 20% today! I'm very impressed with that pick, to say the least ... I'm glad I found this place. And thanks to that "huge" guy for creating this forum.

[skiracer]

That guy that picked IPIX is a Vulcan. See the pointed ears. They are known for throwing a dart at the stock pages in the IBD Daily and have a phenomenal percentage rate of winners in doing so. Whatever you do don't piss him or them off because this one is one of those redneck Vulcans from below the Mason/Dixon Line who are known for going off the scale when someone knocks their picks. Just be careful what you say about his picks.

[RL]

I just knew

It was a dart throw thats the only way you would have picked It. Great going webs at least I now know I'm not alone.

[IIC]

My chrystal ball says..."Flat Base Breakout for DYN tomorrow"...It could happen ...But you won't see me in my pick...done for the week 'cause I have to hit the road early...But the short 3 days worked out nicely...IIC

[B.J]

Well, Dru has all but clinched! Webs and I are in a race for 2nd place. Webs leaps into 2nd with the pick of the day IPIX.
