Well things are getting so bad that I might as well run TPI (long) this week. Tianyin Pharma. (China).

Suppose that the MM will do me wrong again and run up the opening 10 points on 100 shares, then pull the trip wire on susequent bids. Those MMs are very tricky.

[uncle23]

[clarkrl2]

long TVL (LIN TV Corp. - Broadcasting)

A couple articles said the mkt. will go back down this week...but the folks who write those are often wrong.

If my horse (AFFY) and I don't cross Monday's finish line by "starting gate" time tomorrow, can we still race tomorrow

[clarkrl2]

[ModE98]

TPI is slipping each day, but staying ahead of the Benchmark. Not too bad for a far-out Chinese based spec. Will take another two years to get a $$ reward (hoping it to go from the 0.60s to $4.35+ over that time)

[Bluerobin]

Well, I am heading towards the bottom again.

[Ombud]

Nope. It's mine, Blue. I've been on a tear to the bottom this quarter

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 leads going into the final day. kadee66 has taken second from uncle23 who is third.

[Bluerobin]

Well, at least I am beating Benchmark!

[ModE98]

Looks like Clarkrl is running away from us, must have found some "magic" oats.

[Ombud]

at least I'm back to even! LOL

Understand why Ty picked KOG, not sure what happened there. Crazy market

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 is this week's winner. kadee66 was also a double digit gainer and takes second. ModE89 moved back into third. Overall it was a good week as 7 of 9 entrants beat the benchmark.

[ModE98]

Congratulations Clarkrl on your pick of the week.
Kadee moved up a bit for a nice Place close; but, just could not catch up. Nice try!
TPI's close at Show was a surprise after a yo-yo week in the race.

[Bluerobin]

Congrats Clark!!! Mod and Kadee, he must have followed one of you to the Magic Oats field!!!!

[uncle23]

next week I need to reserve early for magic oats from Blue..

[kadee79]

Congrats Clark & Mod.
It was a decent week for the game but I've been a puny thing all week. Just a tad better today finally!
