Short TF.

Billyjoe, sorry but I don't think TF is shortable. (See rule #5.)

Nice try Billy on the "Coup" play...thing's halted anyway

The Thai stock market was ordered closed by the military on Wednesday, though trading is expected to resume on Thursday. After news of the coup spread in New York on Tuesday, two closed-end funds specializing in Thailand fell about 4%, presaging weakness when Bangkok trading resumes.

How about LVLT long.

That we can do, Billy.

Update: Van McCoy has retaken the lead. Van and the Q are duking it out for the top spot.

WHAT???? Are you getting your pix from Cramer again?

I bot LVLT yesterday because my wife got it from Cramer...I told her I would oblige but only for a DT...made .01 sh

Doug,
I see that it's on Cramer's like list for 9/13/06. He isn't always wrong, just 50% of the time. Now would you really buy something the wife liked if you despised it just to keep peace at home ?

Bot it in her account...You can make a few Dt's in Tax accounts...But actually I think it is an OK stock here

Week 38 (12), Day 3

Sticky, the Hustler, Treat held onto the lead. The Quas took it for a while but then lost his stamina. Huge Pete is right smack dab in the thick of it too. Interesting week. More to come.

IIC
As the reigning POTW player this fortnight. Doug, you are HUGE!!!!!


Congrats also to the other 5 players staying in the green over the past 13 weeks: Diogenes, RL, Rob, Park Twain and Gatorman!

An honorable mention goes out to Da Mighty DMK
who, though not appearing on the list this time due to his low participation (4 out of 13), would have trounced everyone with a Special K value of over 9% had I listed him. So nice picking, DMK, but let's see some more picks so you can be back to claim your proper place next time.

[IIC]

Thanks J...But all I know about Special K is that it is a cereal that helps keep you regular...I don't even know if it still exists but I remember my Grandparent's always had it in the morning with a healthy dose of Wheat Germ thrown on top...Doug(IIC)
