Portfolio of the Week

Week 14 (1), Day 3

Wow, the list this week is looking a little bottom heavy so far. I just feel a bit relieved to be out of the red for a change. Man, that get's old fast, does it not?

Thanks Rob, for the score. And it sure looks strange, this scorecard. I mean, my own portfolio is setting new dollar highs, my Marketocracy portfolios are roaring, so are the indices (the R2000 is flat, however), and both the POTW and the POTW+ are deep, deep down, -2.2% and -2.7% respectively. What is happening?

BEBE is about to take me out of the cellar.....I was shocked to see it down 8% from my potw buy point, now I've got a lot of work ahead to break even.....And that's about where I expect to close out this week with BEBE.

The forest has many good trees.... Just gotta look for em

I have made a killing on GEHL this week yet I failed to play it in the contest.... Maybe we're all just trying too hard here.lol

Here's something interesting. I normally focus on smaller cap stocks with my research. I entered this CNBC fantacy Portfolio deal last week. They have a minimum equity rule so my searches for the contest are now focusing on larger companies (Example: GEHL, ECOL and PARL do not qualify for this contest). Guess what?.... I'm finding some pretty decent larger cap stocks.jejeje.... stuff I have overlooked for a long time. Just goes to show ya that you can get stuck in a rut if you're not carefull.

Rob, my hat's off to you for maintaining these records......If I had to sift through all these posts and then look up the prices and post to the board, I tell you there'd be a mutiny by now......I am personally only posting one pick per week to make things just a tiny bit easier for you.

I agree that Rob and Lye have done a super job -- perhaps we should start a POTW Transaction thread for buys and sells only and leave this thread for any discussion and the daily results chart. What do you think?

Tim

Tim I think the answer is simple. Just make sure you post your play with no extra verbage. Make your picks very straight forward and easy to see. It's not like there is a post limit or anything. You are allowed to make a post with only three words you know!!!!jejeje

Some fellas will make a long post and somewhere within the post say "oh dude.... by-the-way put me down for XYZ stock next week". ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

Look at my posts for playing the contest..... Look at post #5088.....

FELLAS!!!! JUST DO THAT!!!!

I understand your position, Lye, and respect your opinion, and hopefully you see where I am coming from.

If ever I had time to be scorekeeper, I would start a new thread for buys and sells only, and leave this thread for all of the noise -- I would not want to search through all of the noise and blather to get to the meat.

I am sure others have their own opinion -- this is mine and I'm sticking to it.

LOL.... I hear ya dude!.... But do ya really think there would be no "noise and blather" on a new thread?.... We all just love "noise and blather" too much. PLUS the picks mingled with the noise and blather is what make this thread interesting (the picks just need seperate posts).... So.... I would like to state for the record that I too respect your opinion.... BUT, I must respectfully say.... You are just flat-out WRONG.jejeje

Hey Tim.... Arguing with you is kinda fun. We should do this more often.lol

btw.... I miss Scifos, can't beleive he's ignoring me. He really knows how to hurt a fella.

There would be no noise on my thread -- cause I would penalize them for doing it -- plus this thread would still remain to have all of the fun anyone wanted -- by the way have you ever been a salesperson?

Regarding arguing -- I don't consider this arguing -- merely discussing a point of view -- arguing for me gets emotional and I try to stay away from stuff like that. OK, your turn to reply....

Watch BEBE carry Smitty from worst to first this week.

I am indeed a salesMAN.... I have hired a few salesPERSONS in my time.... I try not to make them cry. It's better that they deal directly with my SalesMANAGER though.... cause they think I'm "arguing" when I'm actually only "discussing".... I'm so misunderstood.jejeje.... btw.... I like to get all emotional when I discuss a point of view, what's so wrong with that?

What's your day job Tim?

Week 14 (1), Day 4

First off, thanks, all, for the nice words. And Jim, thanks for your consideration, but seriously, if you want to switch mid-week, then by all means switch. Just try to keep an eye on who's got what so as not to pick one that already taken. And, BTW, looks like you weren't kidding about BEBE! Nice job, dude!

Huge Pete Huge is still huge! Ray's latest pick, FIZ, is proving so far to have plenty of fizz! Nice one, Ray! And look at ol' Curly, turning around with that long 2x4 over his shoulder and whacking us all in the back of the head with OPWV ... again!

And here I am, dipping into the red ink once again, and after such a good start this week, too. Oh well, my GOOG and TS have been putting a on my face lately.
