I was going to do AAPL long based on the fact that they hired away a bunch of Tesla's brainiacs but @di beat me to it. So I'm thinking GFN (l). (Anticipate losing to Disenfranchised Investor this week)

I got screwed....mine closed at 8.80 on Fri. but opened at 8.99 according to Yahoo and at 9.05 according to MSN Money...so I actually gained 0.02 from last Fri.'s close!  And now it has gone up some in after hours!  |

My mistake last week was to change from long to short after picking long. Me bad. Perhaps may stay ahead of BenchMark this week.

kadee66 I am going to use the historical yahoo quotes to adjust the opens according to rule 6. Your open will be 8.92. There will be several opening prices that will be adjusted. |

Thank you Clark...I wasn't really complaining, just trying to point out how some of our picks can perform in a way we don't expect. I was also trying to point out the differences in some quotes from one board to another....MSN vs. Yahoo. This is a game and I won't get upset whatever the outcome....but now if you get into my stock account...that's a whole different story!  |

tyfighter3 still has a head in front as we get to the halfway point of the race. kadee66 is battling ModE91 for second. Six of eight are beating the benchmark and less than 4% separates first and last. WLL, NVAX, CYH, and AAPL opens were all adjusted in accordance with rule 6. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | tyfighter3 | L | WLL | $37.95 | $38.64 | 1.82% | | kadee66 | L | NVAX | $8.92 | $9.07 | 1.68% | | Mod E | L | CYH | $48.12 | $48.91 | 1.64% | | architecto25 | L | KR | $72.56 | $73.43 | 1.20% | | D.

CYH looin' good today.....now if it can maintain the momentum tomorrow....Bingo! Beat the BenchMark solidly. And, if ty and kadee slow up a bit, could hit pay dirt! Hopefully going to be a good dash to the wire this Friday. News after the bell this afternoon.  |

Kadee, you likely will win, NVAX is gaining today. WLL is fading .... but still a few hours to go. 1:40 EST.....kadee, you can't miss. My horse just pulled a leg muscle and is limping. Over $2.00 down from morning high  .
3.23 EST.....some Friday afternoons are cruel. Guess the traders were taking some profits in CYH, the bums! |

CONGRATULATIONS, kadee on another win, you are on a roll for 2015 so far. 
Uncle applied the whip hard and rode on in to Place. And, I was lucky after CYH's afternoon swoon to hang on to Show.

Congrats Uncle & Mod! Next week is going to be another guessing game....too many variables going on right now.
With all this ice/snow...it might put a dent in a lot of things. |
