Pick Of The Year Contest

[Karel]

Doug--thanks, I got it!
LYE--working to see if I can get it to go. Thanks!

Hey, I got it to work!

Hi New-born!

Glad to see you're making progress! Now try to keep your images under 700 pixels. Rule of thumb: about half the screen width, maybe a bit wider.

Regards,

Karel

Mr Market Stock Contest 2006

Close on 3/17/2006

Mickey is still "SUPER" $$$HUGE$$$

Mickey increased his lead again this week and now sits over +100 YTD. Mr. M moves up into 2nd place ahead of Jiesen. Karel and Lye round out the top 5 as they did last week. Lye's ECOL did especially well on a Saucer w/ Platform Breakout.


Our A/D/U for the week was 17/9/0 but our YTD slipped to 15/11/0 as Ninner's ADAM got whacked and Billy's TLF went red.

Our overall % gain YTD advanced to 10.44% up from 9.10% last week but we couldn't keep up with the RUT's advance.

Of course...we are still kickin' the cr*p outta the CSSGX which is +6.21% YTD. Now I hear that there is a new CANSLIM portfolio manager for people who are too inept to manage their own portfolios. See http://Canslimpc.com

But let's see...I always thought IBD advertised that you can be a Winning Investor by reading IBD 10-20 mins a day...But this site claims it takes immense time and energy...I also have a bit of a problem trusting a company that lists MVRL as one of their TOP 10 Holdings as of 12/30/05...Heck, there is no stock with that ticker symbol....OK OK...They made a typo...they really meant MRVL...Wonder how many typos they make when entering customer orders???

Their YTD A/D/U on their Top 10 Holdings as listed on their site is a less than stellar 5/5/0...The only holding they list that is in our contest is WFMI down over 17% this year.

That's interesting Lye...I didn't know that. I've been saving them from Paint to My Pictures...Then I crop them and compress them for imageshack. I'll have to try that...thx...IIC

When you save them in "MS Paint" it directs you to "my pictures" or whatever file you choose.

I actually get them to the proper size while I'm in "Paint" and before I save them. BTW you can open up multiple "paint" windows and cut from one image and move it.... then paste it to another one. That's how I put Websman's face on $$MM$$'s body. and $$MM$$'s face on "Bambi's" body.lol

WIRE--at 691 pixels!

Karel, Lye-baby, Doug:
Here's WIRE and the trouble its in--at 691 pixels wide!
My view: short it, sell the calls, sumfin' bearish, because it
is going to geet ugly for awhile. Really.
rusty wire

[New-born baby]

Lye/Karel/some genius--help me!

Here's what I'd like to do:

Post my charts on MM so that they are a link that looks like this--


WIRE CHART

and you would click on them and it would open and you'd see the chart. Now I can do that for a web page, (see "current oil price" in my signature), but I cannot do it for anything I post on image shack. What do I need to do in order to do that?

Just use the "direct link" on Image shack....
