Yes, kadee, sadly a short list this week. It's more fun when we have a full slate of players.

kadee, you are riding one of my old picks to glory. It's caught fire this last month. Keep up the momentum!

Mod, I used to follow them all the time. Have owned a few off/on in real life over the years & made a few $$ from them. In fact, I think I've followed them for about 10 yrs. now. |

Looks like they have really begun to get a bigger following. Dr. Frost has been a steady, highly confident investor. Wish I had hung on for another month...would have doubled the investment. They really "took off". Probably may "level off" soon to catch a breath of air.

kadee66 leads three and a half lengths going into the final day. ModE91 is second and the benchmark has a narrow advantage over Disinfranchised Investor for third.

ACAD may not hold well tomorrow...was unimpressed with earnings report today and expect some holders to sell stock tomorrow. We shall see how it goes. Still trying to beat the old BenchMark, but he has been tight this week.
EDIT: 3:20 EST 2/27............ACAD suprisingly holding up today. Guess report was not negative to other investors. Nice surprise.

kadee66 holds on for the win and accomplished a rare feat we can only assume will be sung about for generations. She has swept the month of February. ModE91 made a good attempt to disrupt the streak and finished second. clarkrl2 rallied for third and was the only other player beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | kadee66 | L | OPK | $14.24 | $14.56 | 2.25% | | Mod E | L | ACAD | $37.51 | $37.97 | 1.23% | | clarkrl2 | L | VOYA | $43.90 | $44.19 | 0.66% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $108.40 | $108.40 | 0.00% | | D.
