Thierry --

It looks like FTGX, KTCC, MSGI all trade <100K shares, a pre-requisite for the contest...

From what I understand the minimum volume rule was changed. I think the volume needed to have an average of +100,000 on Friday of last week.

GDFLS - what a great pick for such a terrible week! (MSGI made a nice comeback today.)

Can I have URNZ at the opne on monday or does it not Q on volume?

If not, I'll take THLD on momentum - I'll take the open although it might gap up and then I'll get a terrible entry.

[GDFLS]

Thanks english!

It came through pretty strong the past two days.

Wow cool, fist one I won and I get a book to eh? Nice!:)

[englishman26]
