looks like we might see an earnings run with GIGM. This stock usually makes substantial upward move before the earnings. With

Woo Hoo, looks like GIGM is about to power into the lead

I can see the comp wilting in the heat 

EGI can't break the 50sma at $1.11
IHR is setting up a double top around $10.30
ILE doesn't like the air above $4.00
EZM too much resistance up to $2.70

Well fingers crossed anyway.

*cough* CYTO *cough* 

CMED hopefully will go green soon im down only -5% now .

Nice sell Boatguy, looks enough to clinch the title.

I was a mouse click away from selling my GIGM on the morning of their earnings announcement, but decided against it as I thought 21% gain wasn't enough to beat you or some of the others.

Oh well maybe next comp

i don't see why 75% of us are losing money in these stocks. Is it just a brutal market to hold these days. Or are we all just bad pickers.

It's been a brutal market for the last 3 months.  Which is why I propose, for the next contest, that we can trade using any strategy we wish.  Not just buying stock, but also allow us to short stocks or buy options (puts or calls) on stocks that are optionable.  The only new rule to add about options is that the expiration date must be after the end of the contest.

Anyone know when the next contest is to take place? 

Leaira why haven't you entered a pick since you won a couple contests back?

I haven't entered another pick BECAUSE I won.  What could I do with another prize package?

LOL, that sort of suggests you believe if you had entered another pick you would automatically win Statistically that is unlikley. Go on enter in the next round.

Aussie,

I thought you had it nailed with GIGM for the contest, I watched it go up Pre market to over 11$. I don't think anyone saw this drop coming.

This bear market was tough on the market and the contest. I am surprised 20% was enough to win. Pleny of good picks, just a tough market.

Let's hope the we get nice rally for the next contest.

Maybe we should be having a shorting contest!

congrats to you boatguy, 20% in a month is a good trade.
and congrats to the top 8 who managed to finish in the green.
i was sure gigm was going to go but that's the market. volatile.
i was glad to finish 7th considering i picked lum by going to barchart.com  and basically throwing a dart the night before the comp started. (which should really disqualify me for a blind pick)
here is the change i would like to see. i don't know if this is possible but just buying at the open and selling at the open is too fixed . maybe you could buy on any day in the month having previously decided which stock to play. also at any time of day. given that you can record the time the email is sent saying you have bought xyz stock at the ask price at this time.
your email will record the time you buy so there won't be any cheating with hindsight and it is easy to check what the bid and ask is at any time of the day.
same with the selling.
shorting should be included and it doesn't have to be a separate contest. one player is on one side of the market while another is on the other side.
thanks, and congrats again to the top three.,
see you next contest,
maxi

KONG runs 20%+ only a few days after contest ended lol darn
congrats boatguy
