[Lyehopper]

Sell FTO.... I'm done.

[Lyehopper]

VLO, FTO, SUN, TSO.... They all move pretty much in tandem. Good group to daytrade and swingtrade right now (with a bias on the short side)....

At the risk of sounding "Kindergarten".... It's FUN! jejeje :p

[billyjoe]

The VTP has put Lye in the lead... Congrats!

[billyjoe]

Lye,
I'm still trying to figure out FTO. Your profit was like finding a needle in a haystack. Very impressive.

[peanuts]

The VTP has put Lye in the lead... Congrats!

The VTP beta test is proving to be better than I initially thought was possible. Impressive performance!

Yes it is working very well. By applying the new vectors to the lower end of the system, we seem to be having more success.

I am planning a trip next month to Kidron Ohio, in order to consult with an Amish family about their business practices. I have received a formal invitation from the Yoder family and have accepted.

A European trip is also possible before the end of the year for further VTP research.

[JohnHenry]

Hi Rob

Please Sell SHOO and short NVEC at the opening. Thanks

Webs,

When in Kidron make sure to go to Lehman Hardware. You'll never see another store like it. Buy some Amish clothes at the store next door. That's where they got them for the Tim Allen movie when they hid out in Amish country.

I've actually been to Lehmans Harware about 9 years ago. It reminds me of the hardware stores we used to have. I will definitely be going there again. I'll probably end up spending a fortune while I'm there...or my wife will...jejeje

[Lyehopper]

The VTP has put Lye in the lead... Congrats!
I predict CASH will rally 5% tomorrow on a HUUUUGE volume day trading about uhhhhh.... let's say.... 1,250 shares?.... and The Photon will take the gold....jejeje.... HEY Rockin'Rob.... Maybe you could think about changing the "cash spelling rule" to state that unless a member actually states that they want "Meta Financial Group" that "cash" means Ca$h? :p

Seriously.... I doubt that HSOA can keep from losing less than 1% tomorrow so my money is on Doug-E-Fresh to take the gold with better than 10% on his short....

[jiesen]

yet another twist on the ol' "CASH is king" saying! ssSSsSssS...

[IIC]

It's gonna be tough Lye...All I need is for it to go down 4 cents...assuming Photon or someone else doesn't overtake us...Hmm...I could always cancel Cost Maya and watch the market all day...Nah...Good Luck...Doug(IIC)

[Rob]

HEY Rockin'Rob.... Maybe you could think about changing the "cash spelling rule" to state that unless a member actually states that they want "Meta Financial Group" that "cash" means Ca$h? :pOkay, I thought about it, and I've come to a decision. I like the rule as it is, where "cash" means CASH, i.e. Meta Financial Group. If somebody wants cash money, they will need to make it clear.

If Doug wins with HSOA I think it will make history as the only stock, aka HOM, with multiple wins and didn't it also finish last at least once ?

[Rob]

Karel, What happened to your VOL dude?They reported a sharp rise in earnings and announced a share repurchase plan. A killer every time. :confused:

[Rob]

Check out Caustic Soda Hopper! Last week the silver, this week the gold! It looks like, with only three weeks to go in this third quarter, he's really determined to get off that bottom rung, to which he was flung four weeks ago with that HUUGE loss of 53.92%. Which stock was that, Caustic? I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I think it was ALLI. It floated like a buttrfly, and stung like a bee!

They say the Ice Man cometh. Well this week the Ice Man lefteth and was goneth all week but still managed to exact a pound of flesh from this tough market! Good thing ol' Speed Racer picked another car to drive in this race, or he'd have lost a wheel on the 2nd turn! Anyway, four medals in seven weeks, Ice! Awesome!

And what can one say about the Flamin' Brain? ... Whassat? ... No!! ... I said Flamin'! Not "Lame"! Anyhow, I don't know what it was he saw in Meta Financial Group (CASH) this week. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure he knows what he saw in it! :) Inasmuch as I'm not even 100% sure he knows he picked it! But pick it he did, and is now walking off with the bronze medal!

And just to illustrate what a tough week it was, Goober Peas would have won the bronze with a "measly" 1% gain if the Flamin' Brain had done something like, oh, I don't know pick ca$h for the week!

Rob, great write up! Lousy rule about "CASH" :D ...cost me a medal (actually, I like that rule)

Measly would have been right. MVCO traded a whopping 51,011 total shares all week! That's almost comical.

Congrats to Lyehopper, IIC, and, gulp, 'The' Photon. You guys are $$$HUGE$$$

[spikefader]

The Gold: Lye is King! He's HUUUUUGE! Congrats dude.

The Silver: IIC, another fine performance. Really great numbers lately, congrats.

The Bronze; Photon's luck might be huge, but Peanuts DESERVES the bronze in my book. a) is it very highly likely Photon meant a 'cash' position b) if he didn't, then why is it assumed he wanted the ticker CASH long? He didn't specify the direction of the trade Rob. I say Peanuts should be given the bronze. I also think Lye's suggestion to change the rule has merit. I'd add another; if you don't specify the direction of the trade, you don't get the trade :D

[IIC]

Close race...Congrats Lye and thx guys....Nice job Photon...I guess. You too Peanuts....Doug(ICEMAN)

[IIC]

Rob...start me out in ca$h at the open on Monday...Doug(IIC)

[jiesen]

Great job Lye and Doug, and congrats! You are HUGE!

Photon, what can I say? :rolleyes:

Rob, start me in CASH next week, er... make that $$CASH$$ please.

[Lyehopper]

Thanks guys!

Good job Doug.... I'm sure you would have taken the gold this week had you not been on vacation. Your stock picking consistancy is amazing.... Now if you only did short sell in real life you'd be.... well.... HUUUUGE!

http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon2.gif I'll take ca$h to start off next week Rockin'Rob.... Have a great weekend!.... And thanks again for runnin' such a great game dude! http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

[Karel]

They reported a sharp rise in earnings and announced a share repurchase plan. A killer every time. :confused:
Yup! Chalk this one up as one for the "don't buy before an earnings report, EVER" list. And Congratulations to Lye, and everyone who finished ahead of me :D

Regards,

Karel

[IIC]

Thanks all...Now, watch HSOA the next few weeks...My crystal ball indicates some very bad news for it...wish I knew exactly when though...Doug(IIC)

[billyjoe]

Lye, Doug , Photon , Peanuts you guys are all tough to beat. Looks like Peanuts is the real deal and we already know about the rest of you. My goal is to outsmart you next week.

-----------billyjoe

[Rob]

Note that I just posted a corrected scorecard for this past week. I received a private message from StkyTreat informing me that I had neglected to sell SHOO and short NVEC at the open on Friday. I think that was mighty noble of Sticky "The Hustler" to do that, because it resulted in a substantial drop in his final score for the week. Thank you, Sticky.

Very creative, Peanuts! Hey, you forgot to comb your hair this morning. And where did you get the cool tee shirt? In the parking lot of a Grateful Dead concert?

I've been to a few of those, and it's like stepping back in time to the 60s. In the parking lot at one of these there were hippie vans all over the place, people selling tie-dye tee shirts, various forms of contraband, etc., and I saw one hippie chick selling vegetarian burritos that she was cooking up in a wok right there on the ground. Crazy bunch o' people, them Dead heads.

We don't have the Dead anymore. The scene was with Phish for a while, but they split and people are spread out. Now, festivals where several bands play are where you'll find those great vegetarian burritos!

For the 2000 millenium celebration, I was in Big Cypress Indian reservation in the swamps of southern Florida at a 3 day all Phish show. Since we were on a reservation, many of the laws of the US were not applicable, and thus, things were 'legal' for 3 days... an amazing feeling! ;)

Rob:

MAY buy some tomorrow if it keeps its healthy consolidation going ...these high flyers make me nervous right now though...with this weird market ...that is why im favoring the stocks trying to put in long term bottoms as the downside is less .

[Rob]

Oops! Goofed again! In my haste to correct StkyTreat's score and adjust the rest of the scorecard accordingly, I put the wrong formula in the gain column. Sticky's second play, the NVEC short, actually gained 2.77% giving him a total for the week of +1.87%! Sorry for the confusion, Sticky ... and WTG!

[Rob]

I'll start the week with IMCL long.

Well, the screen is always right! For the record: the POTW+ takes the lead again in points, and since that means losing less in percentage than the normal POTW, let alone my nosediving Mechanical Fund, that sort of means it is closing the percentage gap too.

Karel

Please short this stock, thanks

Free 2nd hand tip !!!
Cramer says if BMY fires CEO and keeps current dividend at tomorrows meeting , the stock could go up enough to win the POTW. If they keep Dolan and cut the dividend , a person choosing BMY in the contest could finish in last place. Anyone willing to take that chance ?

Dude I got robbed! Yeah, let me tell you how! First, I’m at school and I can’t watch the market to buy it back when it goes below $33 but I shouldn’t cry because there’s always the next day.

Second, this is my first time with great percentage and no comments from Rob? This is a bummer! Things like this won't happen again for like another 75 years, um yeah.

[Rob]

. . . my first time with great percentage and no comments from Rob?Sticky, what do you call this (http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/showthread.php?p=64138)? Also, just 5 weeks ago you scored 7.49% with a bronze medal. And 4 weeks prior to that you scored a 5.88%. You've got to cut ol' Rob a little slack. ... No, on second thought you don't; you just need to be more realistic. :)

You tell 'em, Rob! Keep him in reality! ;)

Sticky, you are doing great, DUUUUUUDE! :) I hope I didn't get you into too much trouble with your mom. You know, in all truthfulness, in the back of her mind, she probably wasn't really angry with you.

How's school going for you? Any cute girls for you to chase around the halls?

HI Rob

I'm sorry for my last post...I just like reading your great comments before I go do my homework, that's all. I was joking, I didn't think that it would do any harm...sorry

Hey buy back NVEC and long atrs please. Thanks

[Rob]

I just like reading your great comments . . . Thanks for the kind remark. In case you haven't noticed, I've cut way back on the editorial comments in recent weeks. It's nothing personal, just trying to reclaim some of my time.

I was joking, I didn't think that it would do any harm...sorryNo need to apologize. There wasn't any harm done.

Sticky, you are doing great, DUUUUUUDE! :) I hope I didn't get you into too much trouble with your mom. You know, in all truthfulness, in the back of her mind, she probably wasn't really angry with you.

How's school going for you? Any cute girls for you to chase around the halls?

Hey Peanut...it's cool.

Um...I'm taking Calculus 9C (third semester), Physic 4B (second semester), and Chem 1A in additional to my high school classes. I already got into trouble this week in the chem. Lab burning stuff up.

Dude you know what? I thought that if I skip high school I wouldn’t have to take two years of foreign language. I was wrong! They make you them you take them at the college.

Oh yeah...lots of cute girls at school but much better looking ladies at the college...everything looks taller and bigger.

BTW...I took Spanish in 4th grade, 6th grade, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade...Got an A in the end...And I can't speak a lick of Spanish...Although I do understand some of it when they are talking about me...Fake it to get an A.

I took 3 years of "machine shop practices" got A's and B's.... I got a job in a little shop @ the age of 15, I got credits for leaving school and working (in my Jr and Sr years).... I own a manufacturing company today.

I can't speak Spanish but I'm not to old to learn it. I do have a few Spanish speaking employees that I can't talk to, but their supervisor can. http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

In 1990 I bought a set of tapes called "Japanese with Ease" and listened to them in my truck for about a year.Sssssss! :p I have a few Japanese customers you see. I can ask for a beer, newspaper, taxi, pencil, water, chicken, and banana all in Japanese!LOL.... I can also say "excuse me" and "thank you".... I learned a few little Japanese sayings from a young Mechanical Engineer back in the early 90's (He's now the plant Manager). One is "The Customer is God (Kami)" [not literally, it's just a saying showing reverence to your customer].... Another is "Sometimes even a monkey (Saru) falls from tree".... This saying is appropriate if you have really tried diligently and have serviced the customer flawlessly.... then you screw something up.... Like miss a delivery date. It's better if the customer says it to you though.

To succeed as a customer of a hard-line Japanese Company it's not good to be presumptuous ... but humble. I have found that once you prove yourself, they are extremely loyal customers and don't mind paying a premium for quality and service.

So Jeisen.... You still speak Japanese?

[Rob]

Put me in CPTS long...Contest Over!!!Uh oh ... the question is: for whom?

[Lyehopper]

Rob.... Please sell NEXT on the next tick.

I really thought the volume would pick up on this thing this week, guess I'm early. There's a little gap @ $13.34 that needs to fill first I guess. Park me in ca$h for now.

Ain't it!.... Average volume is about 50k shares per day. I expected it to be trading about 100k per day this week. WRONG!

EDIT 1: just for fun, watch this....jejeje :p
EDIT 2: hmmmmm.... bought one share (and it exicuted) but it didn't show up on the ticker. I guess there's a minimum?

Groovy lines on that chart, Rob. The colors are awesome, dude!

Will our colors remain the same, forever? Will I always be red? If so, I'm only going to attempt to lose money, to reflect my color...

[Rob]

The same colors will not always be associated with the same person.

[billyjoe]

Rob,
One of my most hated songs of all time was from the early 70's and had lyrics such as : "these are the flowers that I gave to you....color me blue" or "he was the cutest boy that I've ever seen , now he's gone...color me green"

I'll bet nobody knows the singer and if so they are fortunate I can't remember and it's never played on any oldies station ,Thank God !

For now at least it appears the bleeding has subsided, and it's moving away from those lows around 11:00. If you hang on you might get more out of the bounce than you might think. On the other hand ... well, you know about that other hand, don't you?

It was tooth and nail all the way, but I managed to scramble to the top of the heap once more, a feat that suprises no one more than myself considering it's only been four weeks since my last go at it.

Diogenes, my philosphical friend, I hereby award you the siver medal. Congrats on a hard-fought battle. 9½% ain't nothin' to sneeze at for one week!

One need only look at the neon spaghetti chart at the bottom to see that had the contest ended yesterday, Da Mighty Kong would have swatted all our planes out of da sky! Nevertheless, Kong racks up a mighty 7.91% on the week. That's enough for a king-sized appetite!

Free 2nd hand tip !!!
Cramer says if BMY fires CEO and keeps current dividend at tomorrows meeting , the stock could go up enough to win the POTW. If they keep Dolan and cut the dividend , a person choosing BMY in the contest could finish in last place. Anyone willing to take that chance ?As we all know, Dolan did get the axe. Had one bought BMY at the open Tuesday and sold at Friday's closing price, he or she would have picked up 1.9% for four days—not a bad little gain but hardly the stuff of a POTW medal-winner. You don't suppose ... uh ... you don't suppose little Jimmy Cramer would stoop to sensationalism to garner viewship of his Mad Money show ... do you? Nahhhh, not Cramer! Couldn't be! heh heh

Hey, BillyJoe, do you realize that if you would have stuck with ERTS, you'd have gained 4.27% on the week?

Would you believe it if I told you that when I switched to GOOG long, I thought about and came really close to going short on F? It's true. But I chickened out on account of its volatility right now.

[billyjoe]

Rob,
The market usually thinks opposite of what I think. I thought F was going down the tubes so the market would think opposite of me and reward F's bad news with great support. Tricked once again !

My prayers are with your daughter. I am so sorry that she had such a serious accident. Our hopes and prayers are for a quick and complete recovery for her. I could wish we were near you; we'd come visit you and pray with you all and see if we could help in some way. Please let us know how she is progressing. On the bright side of all this, God can richly bless through serious trouble like this if one will seek His blessing. I am praying that your entire family will receive some extra special blessing through all this, so that in time to come, when you all look back on this accident, you all can say with your hearts that God really blessed you all through it. God bless you all.

Hi Ray,

My best regards to you and your family. I sincerely wish the best for your daughter's recovery. Lyehopper is right; I use TD Ameritrade and I'd be willing to answer any questions you might have.

You should get your own thread, dude. Even if you can't be too active on it, I would like to know what the #2 overall POTW stockpicker is looking at and what you are thinking of... You can request a Mr. Market authorized thread by clicking: HERE (http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/showthread.php?t=1518) I look forward to it! :)

Do you need to open an account for access to their real-time streaming accounts and other resources. I don't think they give it out free to anyone without an account. As an alternative if Ray didn't want to or couldn't open an account at TDAmeritrade, there is Medved Quotetracker. They are completely free and you get the streaming realtime quotes, intraday realtime charts, level 11 quotes, raw data and time and sales, plus a full selection of all kinds of indicators and chart variables to plug into your charts and build them the way you want them for free. I have access to a couple of different online brokersages but Medved's realtime trading platform is what I have on my trading screen all day. I can do everything I want just as if I were doing it through my brokerage from their trading platform. I don't think you can beat it for free and is definitely worth taking a look at.

[peanuts]

Do you need to open an account for access to their real-time streaming accounts and other resources...

Ski, to my knowledge, you need an account with TD Ameritrade in order to use their streaming data. My number 1 reason for using it is that I can pull up a chart (5 days to 1/2 hour) and watch the action as it happens. I do a lot of momentum buying, so I when I am watching the trades happen in real time on the charts, I can immediately put in an order within seconds of seeing the actions in the stock to catch a momentum move up or down. You can also use trend lines on the streaming charts to help you to see a bigger picture of the action. I find it very useful.

I'm sure that there are comparable products out there. But I like to use TD Ameritrade's because it is my trading platform, and I can make the trades immediately as I see the action unfold in front of me. I have never experienced a problem with inaccuracies... and that seems to be an issue at times for others.

TD Ameritrade streamer suite also offers other neat tools like Level II, portfolio streamer, news, depth chart, etc... I don't use all of the tools every day, but it's nice for those days when you need more information.

Geez, I should ask TD Ameritrade for a few free trades after that pump job :D

Ray has a TD Ameritrade account.... That's why we're talking about all this.... Ray has it ALL at his fingertips.... he just needs to learn how to utalize all the cool features offered for free there.

Yeah right Ray...I have a feeling that you are much like me...I don't post details and reasons much...people can take it or leave it...But for those that do their homework...I'd say they probably know why I say certain things...I do that a lot w/ people I meet on the Net...Watch 'em and try to figure out if they are doing something that I am interested in...Unfortunately, I think most people want stuff handed to them on a silver platter.

As for me have not been able to concentrate very much these days. . . . one of my daughters was very seriously Injured In a motorcycle accident and have been spending my time at the hospital.By the grace of GOD she Is alive and will heal.Ray, what tragic news that is. I'm so glad for you and your family that she seems to be on the road to recovery. May God give you peace and strength.

[Rob]

Rob, are you really that good ?The answer to that is rather apodictic: I am as good or as bad as I am.

[Rob]

Rob: JLG long.

Quasi-Ernie: CBK long.

Thanks Stky & Rob for your thoughts, she had a bad turn last nite but I'm sure today will bring good news.

Mr. Rob please put me In SUNH-LONG HOPE WE ALL HAVE A GOOD WEEK.

HI Rob

UCTT long please, thanks

[Rob]

UCTT long please, thanksInteresting pick there, Sticky. A pick-and-shovel play in the semi-manufacturing biz. At first blush I think it has real potential, but having just broken to new highs and at 30x earnings, I'd keep a close eye on it. The company's only been trading publicly for about 2½ years.

[IIC]

I will pick CTIC long....IIC

Why didn't you take it at the open? Sitting dead on support at the open :D

AMLN has been range bound the past month, between $44.25 and $47. Buy at $44.25, and sell in the upper $46's :D

Slick Indeed! http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif Now if only he had in turn shorted CTIC @ 9:35.... And covered right about now, he'd be in the driver's seat with 20%+!

Rob,
Any EBAY news today? What's the deal with a $1 hit on this one?Last time I checked I didn't see anything of great importance. The stock is still cheap. I think whoever it is that's accumulating has just decided to let things cool off for a while and let those who live or die by every tick worry themselves into a frenzy. They let that herd mentality work in their favor as the price is driven down to the point they can accumulate more at a cheaper price. They never go straight up, do they?

[Lyehopper]

Rob,
Any EBAY news today? What's the deal with a $1 hit on this one?
I looked on EBAY for a drawbar for a 2840 John Deere just today. I figured I could pick one up for about $25 but I couldn't find one on there. I'm disappointed because a new one costs $240. I guess that's why EBAY's stock is off today. Oh well, I did find an after-market one for $130 from a fella in Bedford.

[Rob]

Lyehopper, I know practically nothing about tractors, but a "drawbar" would not be the same thing as a "top link (http://cgi.ebay.com/John-Deere-Top-Link-2840-2850-2940-2950-2955_W0QQitemZ320028761312QQihZ011QQcategoryZ63988 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)," would it?

Doug,
I want to know what you knew about CTIC and when you knew it. Is a POTW player allowed to concede? Doug, in real life have you ever made a trade such as +20% in 2 minutes ? I'll bet you have some great stories to tell.

-----------billyjoe

I was reading news before the market opened. Figured it to gap...was hoping for 20 cents and I got .21. if I had traded it in real life I'd estimate that I probably would've been able to get about .15 on it.

I used to trade news...it is fun...but it takes a lot of time and a lot of being in the right place at the right time. The most I remember making in a couple of minutes is 18%. Many of the news plays run then they pullback...then sometimes they run again...I would usually sell them at the first sign of a p/b so in many cases I only grabbed 5-10% of a 20, 30, 40%+ run. I know a lot of times after I clicked buy confirm I immediately put in a sell order...I always played the news with market orders so I wouldn't miss them or get stuck with them. Most orders I put in now are limit.

Today I had 2 limit orders in that never got filled...I cancelled them when I went to take a shower...they were on OMNI and RMBS. I usually cancel a limit order right away if the stock takes off...I don't want it on the way back down.

I will watch the p/m action to see if I will leave it...Just because a stock goes up a/h does not mean a whole lot.

But on REAL news plays you have to see the news during market hours...Now, the BIG question...Where do you get the fastest R/T news during market hours???

No, a top-link is the third element in a three point hitch.... A drawbar is simply an alloy steel bar that attaches to the tractor and is used to hitch a towable implement or wagon.

Here's the "aftermarket" drawbar. http://secure.ssbtractor.com/cgi-bin/quikstore.cgi

Here's a toplink. http://secure.ssbtractor.com/cgi-bin/quikstore.cgi

Looks like the links don't work so here they are....

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3339/drawbartb3.png (http://imageshack.us)


The drawbar for my 2840 (a tractor that I seldom use) came up missing and I couldn't find it anywhere. After several phone calls I found that it had been borrowed from me by a fella who works for me part time. His father had broken the drawbar in his 2640 while cutting hay a few weeks ago, I was in Roanoke and he was in a bind so he "borrowed" the drawbar.... but it would not work. So he left it at his "daddy's barn" and forgot to return it. :rolleyes:.... He brought it back this morning. http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

I loaned this same guy a (high dollar) registered Simmental Bull to breed his cows with last December. I asked him about six weeks ago to get the bull up in a corral so I could get him back because I have a group of cows I want to put him with this December.... I wanted him pin him up and make sure he's nice and fat before I turn him in with 50 horny cows (a bull will lose a couple hundred pounds breeding all those cows btw, that's why IIC's so skinny I guess) ANYWAY!..... He never called me back.... so I called his Daddy and asked when I could get my Bull. His daddy said that my bull wasn't in his pasture and that he thought he was breeding a neighboring farmers cows..... So after further due diligence I finally find my freakin' bull FOUR farms away breeding a ragtag bunch of skanky cows that are being kept in a single strand of electric wire! (I'm lucky he wasn't at Smith Mountain Lake by now!!!!).... So Saturday I get a bunch of corral panels together and a bucket of grain (and my stock trailer) and head off to retrieve my bull. I had him loaded in about fifteen minutes and headed home..... NEIGHBORS! SHEESH! :p

You better get some penecillin for your bull before you let him at your cows. Don't want to spread "the itch" from the trashy skank heifers down the road... I thought you said AI?

[Lyehopper]

You misunderstood.... I'm gonna IA my heifers.... Now Peanuts,You do know the difference between a cow and a heifer don't you?

This is a six year old mature bull and he's pretty HUUUGE.... He'll go in with a group of mature brood cows. I would never breed a 2,200 pound Simmental bull to 850-900 pound heifers. Plus his calves tend to be a little big for first calf heifers.... His average calf weighs about 90+ pounds.

I plan to AI the heifers with Black Angus semen from a low birth weight proven bull. http://agonline.com/rei/angblkepd.asp?ID=36 (http://agonline.com/rei/angblkepd.asp?ID=36)

Now they'll be able to handle a bull like him on their second calf. I'll post a picture of him if I can remember to take one tomorrow.

I know you've all been holding your breath to hear what the latest cumulative POTW results are, so without futher ado I give you:
IIC
As the reigning POTW player this fortnight. Doug, you are HUGE!!!!!


Congrats also to the other 5 players staying in the green over the past 13 weeks: Diogenes, RL, Rob, Park Twain and Gatorman!

An honorable mention goes out to Da Mighty DMK
who, though not appearing on the list this time due to his low participation (4 out of 13), would have trounced everyone with a Special K value of over 9% had I listed him. So nice picking, DMK, but let's see some more picks so you can be back to claim your proper place next time.

[IIC]

Thanks J...But all I know about Special K is that it is a cereal that helps keep you regular...I don't even know if it still exists but I remember my Grandparent's always had it in the morning with a healthy dose of Wheat Germ thrown on top...Doug(IIC)

For lack of anything more original, I've just been calling it the Special K in honor of Karel, since he was the one requesting a 13-week average of the POTW results. I can rename it the Special IIC for you if you like. All it is, as I state each time I post it, is the cumulative % gain (loss) over the past 13 weeks of picks divided by the number of weeks played.

Sticky sticks it to us again.

Huge Pete sneaks up to within striking distance.

I was watching it too...But I didn't want to chance it...then today on a p/b I put in a Buy Stop at 41.68...By the time I clicked Confirm it was gone...missed out altogether...IIC


EDIT...Made a mistake...it was a limit order...but it was already passed it when I clicked confirm...so I cancelled

[ninner]

yes i put a limit order on it as well for like 15 cents over the close yesterday and obviously it didnt get filled which was fine by me ..i dont like to chase gaps up however im betting the shorts will be all over it next week and it will test that gap ..that may give a guy a second op to get into the stock.....Currently, i own IAAC which had a good day today and PTC which is my value play which is looking abit better as well.


all the best.

No, it's never too soon to take a profit! Gold or bronze, 11% in a week is nothing to sneeze at.

[Websman]

Hahaha... My ELN climbed .57 today, giving me a profit...maybe not a win though.

The good news is that I own it in my real portfolio. ELN has always been good to me. jejeje

[Rob]

A HUUUGE congratulations to the hustler, Van McCoy, a.k.a. Sticky, a.k.a. StkyTreat for his first gold medal performance in his sixteenth week of participation in the POTW!!! Way to go, Van!!!

Well look who came shooting up out of the morass of the middle all of a sudden! It's colossal Karel, gaining more than 9% on this final day of the week!! Awesome, Karel! Awesome!

The Ice Man did manage to retain the bronze position this week, despite all comers, and despite his little, ill-timed tango with NAPS. Do you folks realize this is the Ice Man's 8th medal in 14 weeks? Now you see why he's at the top of the cumulative totals in spite of the fact that in weeks 19, 23, 24, and 28 he lost 12.67%, 18.86%, 19.07%, and 14.54% respectively.

I would also like to point out that the active players scored a whopping 1.44% this week—the best score since week 22 when we turned in a 1.65%!

There is a reason for that...remember a conversation between me and Runner...or was it NBB???...Think it was Runner...We had both said that on weeks that we knew we had little chance to win that we just forgot about the contest and let our losing pix slide...After that I decided to take the contest a little more seriously and look for the longer range even if I'm not gonna win that week...Heck...I wanna beat Ray's butt this year...Doug(IIC)

Doug I knew that was your goal this year and I've run Into a problem with the darts??? But I'ts not over till that fat lady sings. Hopefully I'll be correcting my problem soon.So enjoy yourself while you can I'll be baaaaack.

Ray,
I think that personal crisis has more of an effect on the thought process than we realize. In the long run the darts will prove you have top notch picking ability.

For next week, I am going to maintain a bullish sentiment and begin the week with a long position DCAI

i will go long TRAD this week.

Interesting pick this week to start off with Ninner. I was wondering if you had seen that I had been in it for a couple of weeks and exited the position last week. At the time it seemed to be stalling out and I didn't want to give back anymore of my gains. It fell some more after my exit but came back on Friday to close at $15.61 up .24 for the day. I wasn't watching it until I saw your post in the POTW thread and it prompted me to go back and take another look at both the daily and weekly charts. I still think it could go to previous highs at $16.50 to $17.50 range but I see a little more downside on both of those charts. An outfit I subscribe to, where I got the play initially, still has faith in the stock and has kept it on their Emerging - 50 list. I'm putting up a copy of that list over on my thread.

A few people here expressed interest in the stock. I like to own them if I play them in the POTW but I figured I should grab this one quickly for myself before you or Lye did. Thanks and I'll most likely own it after 10 am on Monday morning if it does what I expect it to do.

You shouldn't "look a gift horse in the mouth"..... because he might be "long in the tooth"

A neighboring elderly farmer (that I'm very fond of) tells me stories when I visit with him, his name is Sanford.... The old guy keeps me in stitches laughing. He keeps a jar of The GoJi in his fridge and he offers a swallow to visitors as a hospitable gesture.lol.... He was quite a cattle hustler in his day. He always raised a few head on his 80 acre farm but made more money traveling from livestock market to livestock market "Pen Hooking" (buying direct from a farmers truck waiting to unload.... then selling the livestock in his name and running up the price as a bidder). Here's a story that he told me once that I found very amusing.

There was a meat processing plant (Dinner-Bell) in Bedford, VA that in addition to slaughtering cattle and hogs would slaughter horses and process the meat. The plant closed down a few years ago. Anyway.... Sanford knew "the market" well. He knew what he could sell an old cow directly to the processor and he knew exactly what "killer horses" were bringing per pound. So he'd scan the newspaper want-ads for anyone selling cheap horses. One day he saw an ad where a man was selling two pet horses to a "good home".... Sanford phoned the man, got his address and went to view the horses. He said the old horses were very well fed and "fat as a hog". Sanford assured the man that he had a farm with plenty of good pasture and they struck a ca$h deal. Then he proceeded to talk the man into throwing in the saddles and other tack in with the deal. After loading the horses on his truck he headed straight to Dinner-Bell and sold the horses "by the pound".... Then he went to "Happy's Flea Market" and sold the saddles and tack. He tripled his money on the deal all in one day. http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Lye,

In the late 60's I had stock in the Eckert Packing Company that marketed it's products under the "Dinner Bell" brand. If they were selling horse meat and calling it pork or beef that explains why the stock was a turkey. Another gem recommended by my friendly broker.

I know a fella who worked there and he said that the Prime Horse Meat was exported to France and Japan. Then the scraps were made into dogfood. He said that sometimes they would have a truck load of Ex-Race Horses, Thouroughbreds that were being "retired" come in.... I understand that the French love horse meat. Maybe we should ask Webs.

I just Googled up this article. "One man's protein is another mans pet"....jejeje :p

http://www.foodreference.com/html/arthorsemeat.html...

HORSE MEAT

Quick, who eats horsemeat? If you don’t know the answer, read on. The information may be good for you!

French, Italians, Swiss, Japanese and Quebecois in Canada are horse meat aficionados and most of the 65,000 horses slaughtered in the country were shipped to Europe, Japan and to the province of Quebec.

The French appetite for horse meat dates from the Battle of Eylau in 1807, when the surgeon-in-chief of Napoleon’s Army, Baron Dominique-Jean Larry, advised the starving troops to eat the flesh of dead battlefield horses. The cavalry used breastplates as cooking pans. They also used whatever spices they could get their hands on. It continues today!

Horsemeat is lean, protein-rich, finely textured, bright red, firm, and more so horses are immune to BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy). Tough meat cuts must be cooked long enough to tenderise connective tissue (collagen), or marinated before cooking to ensure both flavour and tenderness.

English will not consume horsemeat. To them, horses are companions, not food, the way most of us think of dogs!

Yet Chinese and Korean eat dog meat and consider it a delicacy. One man’s protein is another man’s pet!

Today horsemeat at least in Quebec, particularly in Montreal is very popular. Butchers specializing in horsemeat are busier than ever due to the BSE fears spreading rapidly.

Horse butchers in Montreal sell minced meat, steaks, sausages, and brochettes. All claim horsemeat to be superior quality from a sanitary perspective.
In Europe, horse butchers are allowed to sell only horsemeat, as is the case in Quebec.

Americans will not touch horsemeat, and find it offensive to consume it.

[Lyehopper]

Looks like my POTW pick is "Horsemeat" this week....SsSsSssssss!

[Rob]

According to my record, the following players have until 3:59 p.m. Eastern today to take a position:

Alice4321us, An2n33, B.J, Bean Stocks, Bjdj, BoSox Jon, Dakat69, Gerihearne, Grebnet, Jim Smith, MickyMouse, NY4Ever, ParkTwain, Runner, Scifos, Sekto, Shadow, Sisterwin, SledDawg, Sowers, Stock Girl, TFred.
Those who fail to do so will incur a 5% penalty.

Reminder: Next week is the beginning of the 4th quarter! Are you dissatisfied with your performance in the 3rd quarter? This would be a perfect time to revisit your stock-picking techniques and make any needed modifications. Make it your goal to finish the quarter with a positive score! If you finish the 3rd quarter with a positive score, congratulations! Make it your goal to finish Q4 with a higher score!

BTW...Does anyone know what the top 10 one day percentage gainers ever were? I imagine it was some penny stock...but as far as listed?

EDIT...I had mis-spelled people

[Lyehopper]

A few people here expressed interest in the stock (KLIC). I like to own them if I play them in the POTW but I figured I should grab this one quickly for myself before you or Lye did. Thanks and I'll most likely own it after 10 am on Monday morning if it does what I expect it to do.
Hey Ski, If you bought KLIC at 10:00AM you made a good play. http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

KLIC came across my radar a couple of weeks ago. I like NEXT too, it just needs to get off it's sorry butt and go. The gap filled Friday so maybe it'll reverse now?

[Rob]

Ill take PWEI...and just to avoid penalties...let it ride weekly until I say sell ( can I do that ??)Welcome back to the land of the living, Greb. No, I'm sorry, you can't say "just let it ride," although you can play the same stock week after week, provided someone doesn't snatch it out from under you. :) I've got you long PWEI this week at 29.99.

The neon spaghetti chart is truncated this time, because when it's expanded to include the high and low scores, it's nearly impossible to pick all the rest of us out.

[IIC]

You are gonna see the biggest comeback in the history of the contest...And even though ACOR was up another 6%+ A/H...It is a shoo-in...Would you buy it?...IIC

BTW...I'd like to know why that one guy died and another one had a seizure? And how many of the test participants fell, got dizzy, experienced insomnia and developed urinary tract infections to achieve this 25% success rate vs. a success rate of 5% for people who took placebos?

Maybe it's a step in the right direction...But I'm not overly impressed

[jiesen]

Way to Schwiiiing for the fences there, K!

Way to Schwiiiing for the fences there, K!
Is that me, over the top of the chart? :D But this is too early to leave the rest of you without a chance. I was expecting some correction, and now even more. But we'll see. I like to see a stock in my own portfolio doing well...

Sadly for me, the last 10 weeks have been very trying. But I hope to find

Best wishes and good health to everyone.

. . . sometimes personal stuff has to come first.Absolutely. No question about it. Wishing you a quick return to normalcy.

[Rob]

What's the record for worst week?Lyhopper holds the dubious distinction. In Week 32 he lost 53.92% on, if memory serves, ALLI.

[Lyehopper]

Then I assume you are buying here...Doug
SURE, why not.... NO resistance above! The sky's the limit! Can't do any worse than my pick.

http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon2.gif ROB!.... Sell NEXT and buy ACOR!

[Rob]

Can't do any worse than my pick.I imagine it could.

http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon2.gif ROB!.... Sell NEXT and buy ACOR!Very gutsy move! Still waiting for the next NEXT sale ... not a share has moved since 10:28.

[Rob]

You are gonna see the biggest comeback in the history of the contest...Either that or the most spectacular derailment. I have to admit, this thing [ACOR] looks really tempting to short in the real world, but I'm not touching it with a ten-foot pole.

Yeah, ACOR is a tough bull to ride. But look at AMLN. I shorted the dog at $43.94 and it fell all the way down to $42.xx, hit support, and bounced. It made a long lower shadow yesterday and today. Ordinarily I'd say it marks a trend reversal, but today the move upwards was on lower volume (bearish). This stock feels like MFLX to me. Lots of emotion driving it higher, and when a selloff comes, some pretty emotional bulls step up to push it higher--until the bulls run out of cash. I am expecting such a play here sooner or later. The chart shows a rounding top. It ought to rollover sometime. If things get too excited it can fill a gap way down low.

Here's the weekly:

I was wondering why you didn't cover when it hit 42.xx yesterday...;) Guess the charts say some funny things sometimes. Sooner or later, though, AMLN will start to take off again. I don't know what the catalyst will be- either the scrips passing 50k next month, or some of the 13M short shares start feeling the heat and rushing to the exits. Bulls won't need to put any more money in to make AMLN rise. In fact, the institutions have 101% of the shares locked up already (per Yahoo). All it takes is the shorts tripping over themselves to cover for a $30, $50, or $80/share stop-loss and presto- AMLN is a $100 stock.

[jiesen]

make that 15M short, not 13M!

Hey Rob,

Who is that guy between Webs and Jiesen that doesn't appear on the chart? Does he have to pay CA$H to get charted?

Thanks for the reply.
No the chart DID say that $42.xx was support, and in real life I covered my short options. I let it run here because I expected AMLN to continue to hammer that support line all week. Ya never know about these things. What did surprise me was the strength with which AMLN fully recovered that $2 dip in just an hour and a half. And there was selling going on. AMLN traded 1.2 million shares in an hour (daily avg 2.4 m).

$100 stock? Presto? Yes, that would be "presto!" :D Chart is bearish almost any way you look at it: RSI, EMAs, patterns, trend, etc. And then FA wise, AMLN is overbought trading at over 10X sales, with new competition coming on line between now and December, competition in the form of a pill and not an injection (ease of use will make a difference). So there are reasons, both TA and FA, to be short.

Question: on what day does AMLN announce the weekly scrips totals?

[Rob]

Who is that guy between Webs and Jiesen . . . ?Apologies, Mimo ol' bean. That guy will appear on the next summary's NSC (Neon Spaghetti Chart).

Room to grow since that sector averages a P/E near 30. What thinkest thou?

Cramer stole my pick

Doug,
You mentioned it first, but it took the "Cramer Effect" to get it up after hours. I was thinking about taking it ,but only 2.5% of the gain came after opening. When the Cramer wears off will you consider getting back in in real life? Are you bullish on DIVX long term?

Edit: Correction: Billyjoe sold MSFT and bought RGR at the open today. As a result his net gain so for this week is -0.08, not 2.16% as shown above. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Billyjoe, and thanks for your honesty in pointing out the oversight, even though it hurt your score. The correction will be reflected in the next update.

It was very kind of you to take a dive like that for me and all, but you didn't really have to. Nevertheless, you finish the week with the silver medal and a highly respectable 8.96%! It was quite a contest this week!

Congratulations Rob. You have been exhibiting some decent and well thought out plays recently. Very well done this week.
Karel I feel terrible, not really, that I put the horns on you with my last post to you about your apparent soft landing at the top of the leader board this week and then you go and blow a 25% lead during the last day of the week.

Nice job both of you, and DMK your respectable 3rd place, combined with the 35% gain for week 30 will no doubt cement your cumulative leadership in the "Special K" category- the results of which I hope to have out this weekend... stay tuned!

as for my pick next week, I'll go with $$CASH$$ for now, thanks!

[diogenes]

Congrats to the top 3!

Start me with CA$H for the next week

[New-born baby]

Congrats to Rob, DMK and Karel for another tremendous victory. Ya'll do very well in POTW.

Start me off in CA$$$$H, please.

You'll note I shorted AMLN and had a $2 winner and didn't cover, hoping for more. Hmmm. Must be a lesson in that somewhere. Oh yeah: cover at support. :D

[Rob]

Well, if I've got to lose . . .Gatorman, you may have lost this quarter, but surely you realize you're still the leader in total average for the year, and that's hot!

[Rob]

Thanks for the good words, all o' yous. (That means "all o' you'uns," Peanuts.) The law of averages suggests that I will not be able to repeat and win the fourth quarter too. Perhaps, but I'm still going to try to beat the law of averages.

[Karel]

[...] Karel, Karel, Karel! Do you realize that at one point today (shortly after 10:30 Eastern US time) you were up by 25%??? It was very kind of you to take a dive like that for me and all, but you didn't really have to. Nevertheless, you finish the week with the silver medal and a highly respectable 8.96%! It was quite a contest this week! [...]
Well, Rob, I missed the top, but I was sorely tempted to pull the trigger when I saw that PCCC started to slide. But PCCC is a Mechanical Fund pick, and I just keep hanging in on those until they drop from the screen. You are welcome to your win! In real money, I am in at $9.00.

And ski: no problem! The volatitlity in this stock just worked wrong, if you want to call +9% wrong. :) I am glad I am working back to the positive side in the Total Averages. That is where I want to be.

Regards,

Karel

[Karel]

Still going strong?

Regards,

Karel

Rob, incredible performance this past week and this quarter http://www.mrmarketishuge.com/images/icons/icon14.gif. Three golds certainly has your hugeness points at the top of the charts. I'm more impressed that you actually own these stocks. Mr. Rob, you are $$$HUUUUGE$$$

Karel, DMK112, you guys are big! Nice results!

For this coming week, I will go long, USLM. Thank you very much, and keep up the great work!

[IIC]

DMK is HUGE again, with the 35% racked up in week 30 still keeping him on top. Unless he pulls an ACOR-type stunt next week, it'll likely keep him there for the next time, too.

Congrats also to Rob, Dio, RL, Doug and ParkT for outstanding performance. Someone following the picks of any one of you over the last 13 weeks would have averaged at least a 1% gain for every week. That is indeed HUGE!

[spikefader]

The Q is sticking with MFLX long for the week.

[Rob]

It may not happen this week, but the market will eventually realize that IMCL is ridiculously cheap at this price. So I'm going to take IMCL long. I think, by and large, the sellers have sold.

[RL]

Rob guess you could call that a dart throw. So It's CASH-LONG for me.;)

Man! What a crummy way to start the quarter! Unless your name happens to be Peter Hansen, StkyTreat, BillyJoe, The Photon, or Eliaskane.

The triangles have a good chance, but need to look out for the asterisks :p

Only because of the rules of this contest! :D I am up 4.4% since the close last Friday, but the Monday open was over 6% higher, so I am down in the contest! Crazy is the word.

Would you rather have 1st place in the POTW or the cash in your account from the actual gains?

No argument there, ski, I vote for my money, not for the contest. But while I am competing here, I prefer to act as if I care! (Laid back as my POTW strategy is.)

Regards,

Karel

[Rob]

This is primarily a weekly contest, hence its name
Although the change from Friday's close to Monday's open worked against you in this instance, sometimes it will work in your favor as well
Each participant is equally advantaged or disadvantaged by the rules as they are, thus levelling the playing field
It's a fun way to sharpen one's trading skills, "fun" being the operative word here

[billyjoe]

Why is everyone so optimistic, even New-born ? Let's start shorting more and most of us will be happy.

[RL]

Rob please take me out of cash and put me In TASR-LONG

[mimo_100]

Rob,

Close out my position in SYX

When done, Buy CLRK.

Tim

[billyjoe]

Ray,
I was surprised to see TASR rated so highly. I think it was on barcharts.
For those of you who don't know, Ray made a 37.3% gain with TASR in the March Madness Tournament in 13 days, March- April '04.

Billy It Is strickly a dart throw. Hoping for a little move this week. I think tasr may make a move up this month.:confused:

I got this pick after researching some Tobin Smith spam. He sent an
article on White Light LED's, I did a search, and became interested in this
relatively new science. From there I found CLRK and I have been watching it off and on since 8/11/2006 when Smith sent the email.

Very interesting chart. Where is the company going? Why did you choose CLRK over any other sector stocks?

[mimo_100]

I am not sure I understand your question about where they are going.
And as far as sectors, I was just looking for an issue that looked ripe
for a rise in price, in this sloppy market. Plus CLRK just cut a deal with
Siemens subsidiary Osram Sylvania which is the reason for the rise today.
Do your own DD on the company. The technology is extremely energy efficient.

DVSA - long
Please Rockn' Rob...

YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Changed my mind and edited at 5:24 pm CDT... Vulcan logic rules!

[JohnHenry]

Hi Rob

Please sell TNL and short HSOA...thanks

[Rob]

DVSA - longWebs, according to my Ameritrade feed DVSA opened today at $8.20. But since your purchase was posted in pre-market hours, I simply let my program grab the opening price as reported at businessweek.com, which price is $8.07. This being an unusually large discrepancy, I went and checked nasdaq.com and yahoo.com as well, and both of these are also reporting an open of $8.07. So you're in at $8.07.

I don't know how you did that, but if I find out that you're using any sneaky, high-tech, Vulcan trickery, you're in a heap o' trouble.

[peanuts]

sell USLM, buy NGA

[Rob]

sell USLM, buy NGAYAWWWWWWNNnnnnnn ..... wake me up when somebody buys a share. ;)

Oh look... I think I have a profit! Will this put me in the lead???
