    No, the FA guys weren't ready, so the comp didn't start until today. Your pick obviously rocketed so we miss out on that move. No matter though; water off a duck's back. Give me another gem, or where you'd like to buy DXPE today.

        OK, DXPE is scrubbed. MFLX short? You need to convince me. Post something bearish about it, cuz all I see is strength! lol And on top of that, it's at price support.

          ok

          I'm making the call right now (11:39 am SD time) to sell all of our winners except HTRN. Will post bid prices in a minute.

              Spike, no time to post a chart now but if you look you see that it hit the upper trend line and its going down to atleast 26

                  I'm completely lost. Ray, e-mail me a beer or two. I think the contest has started. This must be the first reality stock trading web site. I will now just be quiet and observe.

                    OK, post when you have time then. MFLX is at support and for the team's sake I'll put a PENDING stamp on your pick and buy DXPE at 24.76 with a limit at support. Just because it's moved 15% from your selection doesn't mean it's unworthy to take long. DXPE is a much better play imho than MFLX rushed short call when it's at support. So when you've got some time to reflect and draw up another, and base your plan on something tangible then post it brother.

                        What if BMD gaps up 30% tomorrow morning?.... Have you LOOKED at the chart?!..... Oh sorry.... the chart.... uh.... I really didn't look at the chart.... that's for those evil TAers right?.... but.... You haven't read my FA report on BMD yet dude.... Seriously! are you watching this thing?

                        BTW... I thought the FA team had a buy and hold strategy.
                        BEEF!... it's whats for dinner!

                          Here are the returns for our closed positions:

                          AMLN: 36.68 37.76 102.9%
                          PCU: 57.89 59.31 102.5%
                          BMD: 5.37 5.53 103.0%

                          That's an average of 2.8% return for 80% of the port

                          I'm also putting a 10.29 limit sell order for HTRN. (RL's dart won't fail us)

                          That's a pretty big hurdle for the TA folks to climb by tomorrow. We could just sit on our laurels all day in cash tomorrow, or, as Lye is so sure BMD is the bomb, we can buy it back tomorrow morning (for less maybe?) again and/or add mimo's elusive pick to the mix. Who knows? But I think our team has wiped the barn floor clean with the TA dudes and their charts already.

                            Jiesen!

                            If we're to win this contest we need to keep a diversified portfolio .... I'd like to see 10 stocks minimum. A day trading mentality will lose this thing for us.... QUICK!

                            How long does the contest last anyway? 1 week? 1 month?

                              Considering that your limit order wasn't filled for your pick, with 45 mins to go, what would you like to do? May I suggest we buy it right here at 14.00? The volume and a strong finish will be a runaway potential.
