SPXS long.

[ModE98]

Will stick with OPK (Long).  They report after the market closes on Monday, Nov 7, so may win Tuesday's last place if news is disappointing.

I'm not sure the pick I had last week can go much lower, so a repeat.


FCEL, long

Wow Clark, I think your order is a bit messed up

[ModE98]

Oh yes, kadee, I'm in the basement for sure!  It is a bit out of order.

[kadee79]

I hope Clark is ok.

[architecto25]

Yes, I think I know why Clark listed the numbers as he did (Names in same order as Monday,)

And I noticed a correction for yesterday's post, but decided to save it until after Friday's, since

Monday's numbers are out of date very quickly. ...... not sure now.

[clarkrl2]

I must have forgot to sort.

[architecto25]

Clark, ... I bet you've never flown a jet with a hangover .... well, I have. But I also would

comment that our instructor's efficiency was much better on Friday's than Monday's first

flight due to a weekend layover.  MEMORIES.

But to repeat myself ..... "You do an amazing job on these contest numbers ...." THANKS.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 takes over the lead with a huge move. uncle23 is the only other player beating the benchmark.

I know what you meant Arch, but for a moment I thought your jet had a hangover....


ETA:  did you feed your horse jet fuel ? 

[kadee79]

Had to be jet fuel, cause oats & a whip wouldn't do that!!!


Thank you for doing this contest Clark, I know we all appreciate it!

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 I have never flown a jet or any other plane with or without a hangover. Playing with a flight simulator on a computer is enough to make me airsick.

[architecto25]

Clark, yep, yes sir, I do have a few aviation stories that I sometimes share. But none recent, however....For about 10 years, I've

been planning to write up some of my history for my younger family members; but keep putting it off. I'm about to run out of

time........ LOL. Before the week is over, I'll add a few words ( for you ) on a board message. How's that ..... LOL

Where do you find your flight simulator. I think years ago, I use to play with one..... Web site, maybe.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 is still out front with a big lead with one day to go. uncle23 completes the exacta and the benchmark is third.

I should have picked DUST this week, up 21.53% right now, 11:55am!

[clarkrl2]

I may be late reporting the results today but I will go ahead and start a thread for next week.

[kadee79]

No problem!

[clarkrl2]

Congrats to Arch & Uncle! Hey Arch, I want some of that jet fuel your using, ok?  

[architecto25]

Kadee, I agree .... EXEL gave me some great numbers today; but I saw very little of the race. I had no internet from the start of

the day to about mid afternoon ... on my large monitor, desk top computer... but I dusted off my lap top ( it uses a different

internet service) & watched it every now and then. The service guy for NewWave had my internet workable again about the

time of race ending. Yep, Clark gave me some good numbers. See, charts work. Good weekend to everyone.

[ModE98]

CONGRATULATIONS, to architecto for the Win, uncle for Place, and to kadee for Show.  Nice positive week, but how long can it last?
