If it wasn't for CUP which has already been sold to lock in a gain, I'd say the winners of this edition would be the 5 who lose the least!

This could be the first stock picking contest where you will place in the top 5 and post a loss at the same time -- I think there should be a special prize for that.

That would be funny if someone's pick had been Mattress* as in "put my money under a mattress for a month" and they finished in the Top 5 with a 0.00% return 

I hope people traded their contest picks and came out OK rather than holding all the way down. I bought TGC at the start of the contest at 1.34 and sold at 1.70 when it was closing with a bearish engulfing. I think Fous got out in the 1.70's too. Healey, did you sell?

I wish I had it all in a mattress this past week OUCH . I watched TGC when it bounced off a buck and got in again at 1.19.. bought more when it broke 1.5 and sold it all when it came back at 1.52. Like you I had lows 2's as a sell point. After the blood letting is over it is looking like a play again.
It seems like a long time a go but remember this....

• Tengasco Announces Record First Quarter 2006 Financial Results
I knew (well had a idea, not a matter of if but when) this correction was coming but didn't see it til I got run over by it.  Funny how you look so hard and miss the obvious. Start watching the VIX and get in when everybody is running scared. It picks the bottom fairly well
I have a long Canadian weekend of camping with my kids starting this afternoon. Fire side, roasting marshmellows and telling scary stories. No...not about the stock market!!! Back in the saddle next Tuesday hopefully facing the right direction. 
Cheers 

Amazing results for this contest!

Mo-Money made an awesome pick and followed through with a well timed sell!!

The quality of the picks and thought that went into them just goes to show the power of a true bear market.

I am all cash now and will re-enter later.

Good luck to all, looks like we are going to need it!!

Up 8% AH and sitting in 4th place right now makes me  ... I'm considering selling at open and locking in 12% if it looks like it opens up tomorrow... we'll see. 

Could be good enough for 2nd place

Hope it is wrong, but expect the market to react tomorrow.

Cool. Maybe NVAX will bounce above $5 so we can short it again.

Your in luck Lucas!!

Up to 5.40 pre market-

short away!!

Order No. 2130266141   Novavax Inc Com              Entered:10:56:36 05/24/06     
Order Canceled: We're sorry, but this stock is not available to sell short.

CUP seems to have a pretty commanding lead.
2nd and 3rd seem to be up for grabs easily. I think I can win first with GNBT if I could find some way to mutate the H5N1 and pass it around and make it only vulnerable to GNBT's vaccine.

Is the board going to be updated soon...?  And does anyone know if selling is taking place on Tuesday morning...?  Because on Monday the markets are closed right?

  Great pick Mo 

Well deserved win!!   Applaud

Congratulations, Mo!  Great pick, but most of all, great trading!  You sold just before the market came crashing down!  Looking forward to reading your interview!

Great pick mo-money ..looking forward to the interview also
