Week 22 (9), Day 1

Scifos and Doug are the golden boys as of today.

BoSox, BillyJoe, and Lyehopper are in the FG club with Webs, Runner, NB-baby and Spike not far behind.

100% of the shorts wound up on the plus side today, vs. only 27% of the longs. And that paints a fairly accurate picture of the market today.

Dow down 184.26
Nas down 46.63
S&P down 20.28

Rob,
Had a change of mindset. Cancel WIRE and put me in cash to start please. Thanks. We might see a big plunge today. I'll wait it out to see which way the wind is going to blow.

Rob,
I think you missed this post before the open this morning.

My Mistake

Rob,
I think you missed this post before the open this morning.

Yes I did. Actually I updated the positions page and forgot to update the spreadsheet. I shall make the needed correction (although I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to get to it just now--bear with me.)

Hi Can I purchase stocks from ETFs for POTW?

ETFs

Hi Can I purchase stocks from ETFs for POTW?

Yes. If it's got a ticker symbol and trades on the NYSE or the Nasdaq or the ASX. You'll need to wait till next week though, because the cut-off for this week was yesterday at 4:00 p.m.

An Equitable Soultion

The other day Mimo picked JSDA long for the week. I informed him that Photon had already taken it, but evidently Mimo didn't check back until this morning. He sent me a PM expressing some degree of dissatisfaction that he will now be hit with the 5% no-show penalty. (It is interesting that had he been allowed to pick JSDA, his score for the week would now sit at exactly -5.00%.)

I'm a reasonble man. I know that situations such as this can happen. So I think a fair and equitable solution would be to enter Mimo in a cash position with one pick left for the week. [..... he said, banging the gavel down]

Rob,

I was feining dissatisfaction since the position went south in a hurry -- it was my fault that I didnt check -- but thanx for being so generous -- I owe you one.

Doug, unless it takes off again, it appears that you timed that exit to perfection! Kudos.
