Hey Clark, why is my post quarantined?...until reviewed by staff

kadee74, I don't know anything about the administration of proboards. Maybe ModE95 could answer your question.

[ModE98]

I think it has to do with your political leanings!!
This morning it seems you and a bunch of others miust have hit an old thread of mine about olive oil, and a spammer put a viagra ad on it, and was stopped, but hit anyone who posted on it with a quarenteen??
Rest assured, I had nothing to do with it as I have not been on the boards while this happened!

No VB, I never went to that thread & neither did a lot of others who were getting the same message.  Evidently Moon/Laura hit something when she quarantined the spammer that did that to a bunch of us...but she got it fixed shortly after it started.
We were discussing it on the "I have a problem with Admins" board.

So it has NOTHING to do with MY political leanings...however, maybe you should check yours!   And maybe you should be more careful what you post about olive oil in the future too!  

[architecto25]

WOW …. it's only the 15th of the month, & 10:30am on a Monday; Texas time.

I really need to spend more time on my computer. I just now logged on. … before breakfast.

Clark's contest has really become educational.

===============

However. The Point & Figure chart on the Dow made a double top breakout on 4 April.

That's bullish. And today on the NYSE, there's 108 new 52 wk. highs and only 20    52wk. lows.

That's also bullish.

You know this post is strictly for the humor. GREAT CONTEST BOARD. I ENJOY IT. AND

ALL THE POSTERS. Everyone have a great week....!!!!!!!

kadee74 is out of the gate first in this four day sprint. architecto25 is second and the benchmark third.

Darn bank index went south today based on a Citi and Goldman Sachs posting just ok results......now with no trading on Friday, I will probably slowly sink below the water line the rest of the week with no time to recover.

[ModE98]

I'm begining to dislike BenchMark, always in the way, it seems.   Only 3 more market fays, then off for Good Friday.

[kadee79]

Mod, I haven't liked Bench Mark since the beginning!  


And what a surprise mine is for me today.  What I did....found a list on the net of stocks under $10 and wrote down a few...then looked at them all & eliminated most of them...the one I picked for this week was the best of the bunch that was left....so ya just never know what might turn out to be a good one....or not...since the week isn't over yet.

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 has extended her lead at the halfway point. architecto25 is running well in second and uncle23 has third. ModE95 is also beating his nemesis the benchmark.
