According to Yahoo...my pic this week went UP  $6.10 today making that a 435.71% increase...and of course, I went short!  Told ya!

If I had any of that IRL, I'd sure be sellling asap!...not caring if it went up any more or not.

KD- i nearly picked AMY this week.  it is up 50% so far.

not our year.

Oh my Clark...I'm going to have to sit down & study that to figure out exactly what happened.  I've been too busy with things here at home to pay much attention.  I don't like those reverse splits...but it did help with my choice for the week since I went short.

Congrats Uncle!

Mine was totally unexpected...and it went to opposite way I thought it would go, but most likely due to that split & other factors.  That is really unreal!
