Portfolio of the Week

[Rob]

I'd love to to take IMCL again ... I really, really would.

Looks like it would've been worth about 6% today had I played it.

[peanuts]

What pick?.... I don't remember making my pick yet Peanuts. I simply stated (in response to Ski's question) that I was "planning" on playing FORG, but it was already taken (this post was directed to Ski and not you).... I think Skiracer then picked FORG for me (out of the goodness of his heart) but I see nothing in your rules that allows for that. If Ski can put me into a stock then why not let him pick for everyone? So I don't exactly follow you here dude.... btw, I'm not in ca$h yet either.... As I have until 3:59 PM EST today to make my decision.... I think? Right?

So you should not have an "appreciation" problem with me....LOL!.... Your beef is with Sir Skiracer. But technically he did nothing wrong, he just was presumptuous, but I see no presumptuousness rule listed in the current POTW rules either.

I see what your plan is... You're trying to lose all of your money before anyone else.

to start the week...

MR long

I will explain later...

[Rob]

GOOG LONG! That's cheating! Getting a $200 pop out of a stock ain't fair! (unless the stock is mine).

Thompson Financial has them projected to earn $2.90 per share.

Yes, 2.90 would be nice.

That would be a 10.7% Q-over-Q increase and 88.3% Y-over-Y.

It would give GOOG TTM EPS of $10.30 and a P/E of 48.14 based on Friday's close of $495.84.

And when you consider it's projected to earn $14.06 per share in 2007 (36.5% increase over '06), a 48 multiple is not too expensive for this stock, which has exceeded the street's projections 9 times out of 10 so far.

I like it.



Edit: By the way, NBB, where do you come up with the "$200 pop"? (Not that there would be anything wrong with that ...)

I guess we're in for a rule change, then

[riverbabe]

Buy TRA long pls. River

[Lyehopper]

Lyehopper, I would appreciate some confirmation of your pick. I will place you in CA$H if I do not hear from you. If you confirm your pick, I will give you the opening price today. I do not appreciate the lack of communication on your part. You have to be more specific in your pick.

I'd love to to take IMCL again ... I really, really would. But I will not, 'cause Google reports this week, and I've gotta go with Google.

GOOG long!

ATRI long again

ATRI long again, peanuts.

Congratulations to everyone who played this week, no matter how your score turned out. Just the fact that you played and posted why you picked a certain stock is great.

I found ATRI in a "10 stocks for 2007" post (I'll look it up if anyone wants to read the post). I looked at it and thought it would be a candidate for
a short term profit especially becasue of its thin float (few shares outstanding). It traded 100 shares on Friday and the price of the stock moved enough to put me in the top 3.
