Weekly Stock Challenge 1/12/2007 - Win Free Trading Book

[Thierry Martin]

Stock Picking Challenge

Pick the highest percentage mover and win a free hardcover copy of Conquer the Crash!

Pick any stock that trades in the US market that closed at $2.00 or over with at least 100,000 share volume as of the Monday close before the contest.

Your entry price will be the market open price on Tuesday morning. (It is usually Monday morning but we lost the data for the last few days so we changed it for this week.)

Entries for following week's challenge opens at Friday's market close - 4:00 pm EST - and closes at 9:00 am EST Monday.

A brief rationale for your pick makes the contest more fun.

[Thierry Martin]

We lost all the data for the last few days so the contest this week will start on Tuesday morning to give those that already posted their picks to repost them.

I am picking Apple (AAPL) because of the speculation about their new phone.

Redhook Ale Brewery - HOOK

Continued investor interest in merger talks between Redhook Ale Brewery Inc. and Widmer Brothers Brewing Co.

I'll drink to that.

LVLT

[Pinguin]

I'm taking TELK...

[metalheadrr3]

COWN ... got burned last week but it bounced off of it's 10 week MA on Friday. Most of my momentum stocks took hard nosedives (sold out of GROW when it failed to break back through $60 and now waiting to see if it finds support at it's 10 week MA around $52) .

[mlegha1]

I'll take CPSL if some one already took it before the website went down, i 'll then take VLO...thankyou!!

[bwhited]

GDI has been sucking wind in the short weeks so lets go with it long!

[spanky]

IDWD long. It's down nearly 60% since 27 Dec 06; may be ready to bounce.

JUST A REMINDER

This week the stock must close at $2.00 or above and have a volume of 100,000 shares at the close on MONDAY (instead of last Friday) and the opening price on TUESDAY will be the purchase price for your pick.

This is because the forum was down all weekend and we lost the data for those who picked stocks on Friday before the crash and there was no time to select a pick since we only came back online on Sunday evening.

[InvestingMoron]

LFC - short.

[InvestingMoron]

.....Friday before the crash and there was no time to select a pick since we only came back online on Sunday evening.


Someone didn't "Conquer the Crash". Wokka wokka wokka!

[aiki14]

Damn....I'm glad this starts tomorrow....

LFC - short

I'd have gotten my ass handed to me if it started this morning!

[John Law]

DSTI - short. Speculation of bankruptcy is absolutely hammering this stock. Also, last month, they had to make a large payment by diluting their stock, and another payment is evidently due on the 15th of this month.

[bahroor]

HAWK

took a beating (Energy :roll:), showing signs of a possible comeback

[spanky]

Whoops! IDWD definitely doesn't meet the criteria.

If there's still time, I would like KRY long. Thanks, Spanky

[sealatte]

MVIS

potential for another up swing... with new PICOP unit.. prototype at CES show now..

[Albert0373]

Good contest this week =]; many entries, best of luck to you all.

ditto; glad this is starting tomorrow instead of today would have been down nearly 7%

[1960vw]

Redhook Ale Brewery - HOOK

Continued investor interest in merger talks between Redhook Ale Brewery Inc. and Widmer Brothers Brewing Co.

I'll drink to that.

Due to lack of shares traded on HOOK, I'd like to delete that one and change my pick for the week to ANAD.

Thank you.

[Booyah from Washington]

I would have to say MCCC(mediacom)

My reason is that it was just upgraded to four stars, and some people jump on that stuff. Plus they will be having a conference call this week, and I have a good feeling the stock might go up, after the hit they took last week -although I may be totally wrong. We will see.

[InvestingMoron]

Update, please.

[Thierry Martin]

626

[Thierry Martin]

Am I really in the lead? By 0.03%!

(if I win the 1st prize goes to number 2)

628

[Thierry Martin]

There goes my lead!

640

[John Law]

Well, I knew mine would bounce, but this is ridiculous. Ok...I suffered a minor setback, but I really think I can pull this out....

:wink:

[Thierry Martin]

Congratulations to Pinguin!
