Portfolio of the Week

[IIC]

I will not be surprised if CAFE never trades again.

Let's take a vote...Do you think this guy knew what was coming down?...Sells about 400,000 shs on July 19th...Kinda reminds me of when Charlie Schwab sold millions of B of A Stock just before EPS in the 80's...Hmm!!!


NEW YORK, July 19 (Reuters) - One of the top shareholders of Host America Corp. (CAFE.O: Quote, Profile, Research), which has seen its shares rally more than threefold over the past week, has sold 94.1 percent of his stake in the company, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Roger D. Lockhart sold 392,330 shares of Host America for $13.85 a share, in trades worth almost $5.3 million, according to the filing. That reduced his holdings in the company to 24,500 shares.

Host America shares rose after the company disclosed on July 12 that it was surveying 10 locations operated by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) to install a fluorescent lighting system.

On July 11, the shares closed at $3.16 on the Nasdaq. On Tuesday, they closed at $14.58.

Lockhart did not immediately return calls seeking comment. When the company filed its most recent proxy statement with the SEC, Lockhart was the company's second-largest shareholder.

If anyone believes for an instant that these guys on the inside didn't know what was coming way before it happenned then there's a small bridge on a now defunct highway somewhere out in the boondocks that I want to sell. It's a really good buy. I keep hearing rumors that they are going to reopen that stretch of highway real soon and that bridge is going to become a toll bridge an a big cash cow because of that. Why am I selling it then. I'm a humanitarian and want to give others a chance at capitalism. It's really a great deal.

Man, I finally quit picking this for POTW and look what happens!

Talk about timing... I didn't do it because I didn't have a good short to pick this week. All I could come up with was FORD, and being that $$MM might pick this one, I wouldn't want to jinx it.

What really fires me up is that IB won't let me buy it! !

It's probably better that way. Do you really have the stomach for a stock that can drop from 0.41 to 0.28 like GFCI just did? Even I wanted to puke after seeing all my gains evaporate like that.

Remeber our little discussion about RotoBlock? You said it was just a piece of junk? (That was when it was $2 per share). A couple of days ago I checked it and it was 37 cents. Guess you knew what you were talking about.

it's a pink sheet - IB don't 'do' them.

[thebign1]

My picks are PLLL & BLDR long........GOOG & AHC short.

Good luck all!

Sorry to hear about your friend, Ski. I hope he will be O.K.
By the way, you omitted my (lousy) picks for the portfolio.
I should be on the list somewhere.

Regards,Norm

Big N1, I'll bet your picks aren't as lousy as mine I thought this was finally going to be the week LB corrected.

[skiracer]

Norm,
I just got in an have got to shower and run yet. I'm sorry if I overlooked you. Everyone is posting in that thread and sometimes it's easy for one to get lost in the shuffle. I'll check it out later and bring you up to date tonight. Sorry. I love that avatar. Reminds me of the high priest in one of the Indiana Jones movies where he pushed his hand into a guys chest and pulls his heart out while it is still pumping. Maybe I better forgo the meeting and get you caught up to date first.

[skiracer]

I need some help here with Norm's picks. I need yesterdays opening prices for them. They are PLLL, BLDR, and AHC. I have GOOGs.

[skiracer]

Here we go. You guys know what each column is for or you can check yesterdays setup. I'm going to list them in order of standing without Norm's as of yet. I'm not going to list the opening prices that they were bought at yesterday. Don't see any reason for that. Todays closing prices and the rest of the totals.

(per Stockcharts.com annotate function)

[skiracer]

thanks BJ. You'll have to show me how to do that one of these days. Anything on OPWY anyone?

[B.J]

Ski all you need to do when you go into "Annotate" is drag the cursor over the day's candlestick, and the open, high, low, and close will show up on the bottom of the screen.
