kadee79 takes the early lead in this week's championship. The benchmark is second and djAdvocate is third. I believe these opens should be correct but I will check the historical data tomorrow.

my pick from last week was up 40% today. these screamers- you can never tell. it will probably keep going. the good news is that i own it.

nice start to the week, KD!

clark- my opening is correct. unfortunately.

edit: it continues to roar ahead.  it might put in another double this week.  that would be.....unusual.  symbol is CYFRF, if you want to watch it.  it opened Monday at 44 cents.
