Portfolio of the Week

Week 48 (9), Day 4

Da Mighty Kong benefitted from a gap up at the open, so his sale went off at $26.00 even, giving him a mind-numbing 15.61% for the week so far.

The Flying Dutchman gave back only a "smidge" (to use one of Louetta's favorite words) and maintains that all-important number two position.

But ... WHOOOOAH!!! Just when it looked like ol' Mimo had the third position sewn up, look who comes from waaayyyy behind with a 12% gain on the day! It's that gravity-defying Uphill Racer again! You got it goin' on, Ski! And it makes the Ice Man's rather huge 5.6% gain on the day pale by comparison!

Will Kong sit tomorrow out, hoping no one can catch him? Will the Flying Dutchman achieve more lift? Will the Uphill Racer blast us all off the slopes? Or will he wipe out on one of those moguls you can't see because there are no shadows at high noon? Will Mimo take this turn of events lying down?

These and other exciting questions will be answered tomorrow, as the trading week plays out to its inevitable close! So be sure to tune in ... same HUGE time! Same HUGE channel!

Nothing looks good on my screens... I'll finish this week out in cash.

I'm going to give MED a chance to take the gold two weeks in a row. Has it been done before by one stock two weeks in a row?
All I really need is about .83 more to overtake DMK since he is going to be standing still unless he tries to make another play. I need to get to 13.88 to beat 15.61%. That's only .83 tomorrow. Can it do it. Take your MEDs.

I wouldn't be suprised if it does SKI... I missed MED..oh well.. I'll be coming back with a pick tomorrow to ensure my victory.

Only kidding around with that last post of mine DMK. Great play with VSE. Tomorrow should be interesting. Good luck tomorrow. Everytime I open my mouth about how well one of my trades is doing it drops dramatically.

Bold AND Beautiful?

buy VSE............

Ooooo, bold move, DMK! Buying back the same stock you sold! I see that you're still dead even on it so far. The next four hours will tell whether that play was bold AND beautiful.

I needed 13.89 to get 15.67% or so and DMK needed to have a losing 2nd trade which at first it looked like it was going to be. I hit 13.89 for the high of the day but didn't hold and no cigar. Looks like DMK wins it with that 2nd trade. Congrats DMK. Nice week and exciting finish this week.

Week 48 (9), Final Results — The Clash of the Titans

Oh, what a nail-biter it was, my friends!!! A mighty smackdown between two venerable giants among traders!!!! Of course I'm speaking of Da Majestic, Mighty Kong and the ever-surprising wizardry of the seemingly Rocket-propelled Uphill Racer!!!!

After all the fur and fresh powder stopped flying, it was the Simian Steamroller, Da Mighty Kong who prevailed, turning in a whopping, eye-popping, jaw-dropping, 17.79%!!! That's no monkey business, and you don't need opposable thumbs to figure that out!!! Nice playing, DMK!!!

There were no "bunny hills" or "novice slopes" on the skillful Skiracer's run this week!!! Coming back from -4.5% on Tuesday he masterfully skunked the rest of us like Pepe LePew in a limburger cheese factory!!! He finishes the week with the huge silver medal (and I'm guessing a little smile on his face) and an even huger 15.33%!!! The wine will flow in the Racer household this evening—and I mean the good stuff!!!

The Akron Kid, Mimo, while not sharing the rarified air of the top two killers this week, still quietly took all the rest of us to the woodshed and gave us a good, old-fashioned whoopin'!! The Akron Kid racked up a very tough-to-beat 7.92% on the week, which is very fine playing by anyone's accounting!! Way to go, Mimo!!

The way this week started out, it seemed unlikely that the active players would end up with a positive score for the week, but that's exactly what they did, and in fine fashion too, with a combined 1.51%! This makes the fifth consecutive week the team has sailed home in the black! Very fine playing, dudes!

p.s. Sorry, Scifos, but I forgot to include your score in the cumulative totals chart. But after having missed all those weeks, it doesn't look so hot anyway. You will be on the next one though!

DMK and Mimo, congrats on a good week. That was a nice play at the end DMK. I thought for a minute that I was going to catch you with the combined loss on VSE initially and how MED was running out this afternoon but VSE pulled it out for you. Great play and great week going down to the wire like it did.

Rob, start me off in WYNN long this week. Thanks and great commentary to go along with the POTW.

Congrats and CA$$$$$H

Congrats to DMK, Mimo, and the Skiracer. In fact, congrats to all the greenies out there in MM land.

Rob, please start me off in CA$$$$$H money. Thanks for all you do, Rob. HUGE thanks!

Congrats to DMK, Ski and Mimo

[spikefader]

Great win DMK; your trading mind this week was HUGE. Ski; your trading head was almost-as-HUGE. Mimo; fine result.

I am shorting ENT again this week.

Courtesty heads up: Technicals I use show heightened potential for an impulsive correction in the broader market over the next 2-3 weeks. So caution longs!
