Portfolio of the Week

[spikefader]

Congrats Lye. Awesome picks. Strong finish!

[IIC]

Nice job Lye....You are very good at finding bad stocks for shorts

Geez...I'd hate to get on your bad side Ski.

OPWV...eps got me...expected much better.

Wait...Didn't I pick BIDU?

I mentioned BIDU last Sunday at Mr B...This morn I had 2 accounts open to buy...I was willing to pay 40...Opened for us "regulars" just after I left for work...I wouldn't have paid over 60 anyway. It is wayyyyyy overvalued...Gap and cr*p on Monday

[skiracer]

Well 1 win or 2 you did a good job this past week with shorts. Congrats. Nice job on changing the format with including the short picks in the game. I like PARL alot and have owned it on several occassions for short swing trades.

Ok Ok Ok,
I deserve it, I guess you can't count on the SEC to keep their word, that they said they would open it back up for trade on Aug. 5.
I would say the maple syrup sounds good, as long as it is from Vermont.
If it did open on Friday and kept crapping out throughout the day, hmmmm another story, perhaps?????
I will take last place for the week.

What is worse, is that I am long some CAFE, but it is all house money so to speak.


Short BIDU
Long TOL, VLO

Geez...I was gonna go short BIDU...it was up over 4 bux after hours...There's got to be a lot more to this CAFE story than we know about I think...BTW...What is "House" Money?...Doug(IIC)

[drutzen]

House money is a bad term since it is a profit, it is also a bad way to look at it.
Since we are here to make money.
I traded shares on a Monday during the run, and sold all but a few. After selling, I had a profit even if I counted the remaining shares at 0. Which may well be what I will get.
It still bites, but a bit of sting is out of it.

[IIC]

My pix so far...I'm getting pretty good at this short thing thx to Lye...my only pix that have done any good the last 2 weeks...

So, I will go with UNS short and PCLN long. Might find something else later...Doug(IIC)

RL--
Can't find a stock to short? Just chose any housing stock. May I suggest KBH, BMHC, HOV, TOL, or MDC? It's going to get brutal . . . .

What's going on w/ the housing stocks??

The bubble is starting to burst...I think there will be some rebounds along the way myself...but it will be bloody next year IMO.
