Unless CLLS breaks a leg in the home strech, looks like we have our winner already.  Charge on !

[architecto25]

Mod, as my initial post says ..... a quickee pick.....

Now we've found the secret to getting one of Clark's trophys .... pick a stock that

craters on day one ..... to get that very low first day opening number. Notice CLLS

opened about $10. lower than Friday's close......Yep, now we've got it .... LOL.

Arch.

[ModE98]

So true!

architecto25 wins by eighteen lengths going wire to wire in the holiday shortened contest. kadee72 turned a good result with her short and ModE94 persevered on a difficult week to manage a small gain. Those were the only players beating the benchmark.
