Time to invest contest

Well, I finally boke down and decided to do the math. I appreciate more now why I avoided the pain this long.


- $1758.56

:snow2_smi
 
LVLT is like a yoyo, up one day and down the next. Today, I am still in the black about $357.12, but who knows what tomorrow may bring.....:whistling:
 
Tomorrow has arrived today. It appears our 6 months is about up in another couple weeks.

My Buy In:
LVLT - 8,928 shares at $1.12 = $9999.36

Today: 8928 shares at $1.33 = $11,874.24

Time to sell and run with about $1,874.88 profit for the short term or I can take my chances in another 18 days. I say run now and buy beer........:whistling:
 
What? Since when we can trade? I thought we made one trade and had to stick it out until the end, whenever that might be.
 
No trade yet but I do believe I would just cash in today if I had a choice but I have another 18 days to wish I could bailout today and stock up on fresh beer............:ermm:

MO 10 @ $17 = $170
EPD 10 @ $22.13 = $221.30
RCS 13 @ $8.64 = $112.32
GLD 109 @ $87.05 = $9488.45

MO 10 @ $17.07 = $170.70 (up $0.70)
EPD 10 @ $25.61 = $256.10 (up $34.80)
RCS 13 @ $8.84 = $114.92 (up $2.60)
GLD 109 @ $93.86 = $10,230.74 (up $742.29)

I'm up on all 4 of my picks. All are conservative. Basically only up a small amount. Preserved my investment, made enough for beer and dog food, not enough to cover the bills.
 
GG - 100 shares at $35.75, up from $ 27.97
TEVA - 50 shares at $47.96, up from $41.91
USB - 200 shares at $ $18.10, up from $15.29
Mon - 26 shares at $ 85.85, up from $78.56

That puts me up $1832.04

Not enough to retire on but over 17% is better than a CD!!!!
 
Ok my wall-mart shares have stayed stable of late....

paid $9986.08 for 208 shares.

now valued at $10412.48

I'm up $426.40

Better than a kick in the teeth i guess.

Today: 8928 shares at $1.59 = $14,195.52

Net Profit as of Fridays close of: $4,196.16


Thanks to President Obama for the stimiulus and a great start to the rebuilding of the stock market in such a short time............:whistling:
 
OK, the contest started Jan 28 for a period of 6 months.

Do we go with the close at the end of July 28 or do we want to pick the close at EOD today? I'm proposing the latter option in that it may be a lot easier for members since they'll have all weekend to get their closing price.

We can do the close on the 28th but if members aren't available that evening to check the close price, is there an easy way (site) to get closing prices on a given date?

aipc 30.03 100 3003
gbr 7.50 1478 11085

I'm up $5,576

Looks like MntFlopper is up pretty high himself.
 
Checked mine tonight. Sorry to say I'm ONLY up $2505.60. OK, so I'm not the winner but a 25% return in 6 months is pretty good. I'll keep the money, you guys can have the prize.
 
Wow, you guys did darn good. What's your secret? How did you pick your winners? do you think you could do it again if another contest were started?
 
LVLT - 8,928 shares at $1.12 = $9999.36

Friday close - 8928 shares at $1.70 = $15,177.6

Net Profit as of Fridays closing bell of - $5,178.24
 
My shares closed at $48.94 giving me a total profit of $193.44.

Not a massive profit but still a profit.
 
Thought I would check in and see how this ended . Here are my results as of today .
BCZOOM =$4938.06 Profit or 49%
Daedong = -$171.06 loss or -1.71%
B. Sturka = $646.47 profit or 6.47%
EastTexFrank=$2567.12 profit or 25.69%
Mtntopper =$2678.40 profit or 26.79%
Gatorboy= $4050.60 profit or 40.53%
CowboyJG= -$712.96 loss or -7.13%
Waybomb= $434.60 profit or 4.35%
Darroll = $624.00 profit or 6.88%
BigAl= 2888.63 profit or 28.94%

So it looks like old BCZOOM is are big winner ! So what did I Prove ? If your pick good stocks and leave them alone for 6 months , even in a lousy economy , you might be surprized at the results . We had 10 players and 8 made money . Almost all beat the current interest rates and then some . The trick and only trick here is to pick good solid stocks and stick with them . In this time of many unhappy Americans investors you just proved that by doing a little homework,good research and standing firm ,you can beat the odds . Good Job everybody !!!!:smile: I hope the winners actully had invested some money in their stock picks . Mine were real choices that I made . I'll take 28% for 6 months any day !!!!
 
Welcome back Big Al. Man, I've missed ya'. Hope you stay around.

You've started something. Round two is on the way already but only for 3 months. I haven't had time to enter yet. Been too busy .... but I will.
