XING is not for me. Why, you may ask, is it not for me. You gotta answer this riddle to get the answer.

Why do Verizon & the major phone companies not list Chinese names in their phone books??

Don't mind me, I'm under the afflunce of inlahol!!! Whoop, Whoop!!

Monday's Score....

I'm very impressed and PLEASED at the response to the contest today.... 18 players! think that's a record.... Right BillyJoe?

This simple game, played weekly can help make us all better stock pickers. That is.... Unless you just like to lose! hehehe

Lets have some fun this week and hopefully devise a method to make a lot more money in the future.

BillyJoe's got a list of 1st place winners he sent me... Too hard to go back and figure all that historical data out.... Going forward it's easy. I say we just collect the data going forward.

"catboys"... lol... you crack me up.

Great chart, you must have a lotta time on your hands! I am recently retired & looking for something to pass some time during the day, am thinking of trying my hand with some day trading, using about 5G to start. Any suggestions out there for programs or methods besides the $$MM$$ moneymaking machine?? I almost always use IBD for final decisons when pulling the switch, it has been good for me in the long run. It would seem that in day trading, you would need quicker info to buy & sell something every day.
Good luck to all!!

Hey Lye,



Thanks for the update and all of your work on this thread.



For those who clicked on the link to see Monday’s results, Spike’s SCOTC is post number 5048 in the thread named “Spike’s Scientific Stock Analysis”.



Also, the rules for this thread can be found in post 2111.



Lye, you wrote: “Lets have some fun this week and hopefully devise a method to make a lot more money in the future.”



I am more of an intermediate term investor, so this short term stuff and the terminology are somewhat foreign to me. I love Spike and his picks, but I sometimes get lost in all of the technical jargon. It would be nice to understand the scientific definition of a double top or a triple bottom, or all of the different channel lingo. Hopefully this can be defined in terms of open-high-low-close versus just “looking” at a chart and guessing the direction. If we are going to devise a method to make money, I think we need a 1-2-3 etc …. set of rules. What do you think?



Here is a link to the McClellan Oscillator for anyone interested.

I suggest you follow ALL of the regular threads here. CLOSELY.... You're retired?... Good!.lol.... Then you should be reading every post dude!

What's your knowledge of TA?... You'll need that knowledge to daytrade (that is if ya want to keep the $5k).... Spikefader, Skiracer and Runner are all expert technical guys.... you'll want to read their posts and charts to find out why and HOW they do what they do.... Hey.... We even have a few alian's lurking here including an emotionless stock trading Vulcan.... Just discovered, only yesterday.... We have an even MORE emotionless stock trading Cyborg among us, follow his posts too.

Follow my posts if you want to get-rich-quick farming GoJi berries.... Follow IIC's (Doug) posts if you've got a few extra "kitty cats" hanging around the neighborhood. We've all go an "angle" to make a profit....

Lye,
Yes 18 contestants is a record and a tribute to your recruiting abilities even if your methods are illegal in 22 states.
Spikes ability to pick the #1 stock out of the dump is amazing , but not without precedent in the history of the POTW. In the early days one contest contained 2 of the top 5 and 3 of the top 10 gainers by % and volume in the stocks tracked by a site we aren't permitted by threat of legal action to speak of. Although the same 100 or so stocks keep popping up on many investment sites again and again and these tend to produce some of the biggest gainers it's still impressive to pick the "superstock" as Spike would call it.

I pretty much think that +5% a week long term is "pie in the sky lye"...Nothing wrong w/ setting high goals...but I think I can live w/ 2% a week compounded...Although I have yet to find out over a year's period in my overall portfolio...IIC

[Lyehopper]

Must set high goals! It's the only way to win!

Don't "tug on my rug Doug".... Settle for 2% and get 0.5%.... I want 5%!!!!
