Portfolio of the Week

[Websman]

IPIX and DHB both dropped today.

I think I'm out of the running.

[B.J]

Webs, did you happen to notice Dru's pick? I think EVERYONE is out of the running

...unless you're talking about 2nd place.

BTW, I'm leaving work now. I'll get the results posted in an hour or two.

That's ok, because Dru's pick just happens to be in my real portfolio.

Me too! Here's to Dru

Highlights: In the REAL race for second, I edge out Ski. Ski actually had the superior picks, but the shorts he put up in the strong market this week contributed to his demise. Ski actually owns his long picks, so I think he'll be happy with 3rd.

IPIX came full circle for Webs, closing about even for the week.

I did own the puts on TOL so I thought I would put it in my picks. Don't know what possessed me with GOOG. Thought it was overbought and ready for a drop. I'm probably a week early an it will gap way down this week. Very happy with the other three. NGPS up almost 6 points right now an about 2 with CMTL. Still waiting for HTRN to go off. Been holding it's own at around 13.50 which is up 1 point from my latest entry. Only thing with NGPS and CMTL is that I only took a half position, 500 shares, with each one.
I made one move today and bought a half position in VPHM today at 8.50. Caught an interesting article this morning on Briefing.com newswire about VPHM. It was gapping up at the time an this convinced me to make the trade. Been watching it for a few weeks now since Drutzen first brought it to the contest. Should have been in under 7.
Congratulations Dru on another smashing, pulverize their brains and squash their egos, resounding win again this week. How many is that now 19 or so? Our only consolation is that we bought your pick.
It would be a good idea for everyone here to buy this stock while it's still in this range and somewhat cheap.

GREAT JOB Dru...Doug(IIC)

Fantastic Dru, when I smarten up I'll start playing your picks.What Is your pecentage?

[drutzen]

Thanks all
With VPHM I started a good sized position under 4, and then added to it at 4.8, avg for all is around 140%. I am pretty happy with it. I may have to take some off just because, but then again, if it ain't broke......Since I am not around much anymore, this would be a good candidate for wide trailing stop for me I guess, at least on half of it.

I will stick with it for next week, but I still like JVA too. It did well, but I am trying to figure out the gap up and then drift down all day on Fri. Maybe it is good for it, so it won't have much of a gap anymore.

[skeew]

My charts don't show any gap. What are you talking about??

VPHM gapped up on Friday from 8.20 to 8.23. It may only be three cents, but it's still a gap.

[drutzen]

I am referring to JVA, it gapped up .25 but then drifted lower all day Friday, I am trying find out why the lack of strength when everything else went bonkers

I'm so mad I didn't buy it last week!!
