My two picks are doing great!....not.

At least my real portfolio is in cash.

[stenzrob]

Don't worry. Stenz and me are in the running for last.

Were we supposed to pick stocks to go up? I must have misunderstood.

[Websman]

I think I'll start shorting stocks exclusively. I seem to be better at picking losers...lol

Mid-day movers:

Runner
ARS +4.58%
DTSI +3.63

RL
TZOO +1.85
FOXH +1.52
CMC +1.63

Winning portfolio announced tonight, Runner looking strong, but vulnerable.

Hey, you forgot PRFT -5%.

It's a mover, just not upwards.

Idea

Neat idea, billyjoe, for the picks. Thanks for your posts.

We have a winner and I think you'll be surprised. First , some stats. Of the 24 stocks picked in the 5 different portfolios, only 4 advanced for the week, 20 declined. Runner had 3 of the advancing stocks:AACE, AUO, and EIX. RL had the other one, BBW. Unfortunately, Runner and RL also had the biggest losers in AUGT and TZOO.

GAINERS
Runner AACE +3.6%
Runner AUO +2.4
RL BBW +1.5
Runner EIX +1.2

TOP LOSERS
Runner AUGT -13.6%
RL TZOO -12.3
Stenz PRFT - 8.8
Stenz DIOD - 6.2
Stenz SYXI - 6.0

And the winner is, the sage of South Dakota, Scifos, who managed to retain 98.06% of his money or $9806. I'd have been happy to get away with 98% this week.
2nd Runner $9770

3rd RL 9632

4th Websman 9565

5th Stenzrob 9338

Billyjoe, great thread. I’m looking forward to the next contestants picks. We all know it was ugly, but not bad considering the undertone of the market. My initial scans are not very promising for next week!

Good job all

BillyJoe, Runner, Webs, Scifos, Stenz, RL

Nice work for a tough, tough week. I like this thread. Thank you BillyJoe!

[scifos]

I feel so, humble. Its just really been my day. I just got back from a poker tourney where I finished first, with my good friend Leondard second. And now this. I don't like to brag much.

Picks for next week: (I thought maybe the reigning champ could defend his crown)
First, I predict the down market to continue.
If I'm allowed to short stocks: CRA, DAL, and CRGN
If I must be long: WZEN and TRA

[RL]

Congrats to SCIFOS

Nice going SCIFOS Not sure If I'm supposed to enter again this week but If I can here goes. SYNA FFIC BBW ILSE AGH

[billyjoe]

RL and Scifos,
Lets see if we get other new contestants. I'm sure we'll run out eventually and everyone will get multiple chances. Scifos, I like the idea of you defending your title. Nobody has ever won two stock picking contests on Mr.Markets site as far as I know.

At least my Beatles record auction made money. Bought for a dime and sold for $1,250.
Now if I can get my stock picks to so the same.
