How the heck did Kadee72 know oil futures would tank this week and propel her to the top?

At least I did not go from first yesterday, to last today, with my oil energy pick.  
Yet. But then, there is one more day......

[architecto25]

Read Kadee's post #2. She's on vacation .... and perhaps not checking the market closely.

.... She might not know she's swamped everyone this week..... & won't get her trophy

until next week..... LOL

[clarkrl2]

kadee72 continues her superior year with another victory. Value Buy closed a lot of ground on the final day to finish second and uncle23 is third. architecto25 also finishes ahead of the benchmark.

CONGRATULATIONS to kadee, VB, and uncle for the week's Win, Place & Show.

[Value Buy]

Congratulations to Kadee72 and uncle on win and show this week.
The markets have shown some volatility in specific stocks lately, and we seem to miss them in our picks for the most part, other than Kadee!
