I believe congratulations are also due to the incredibly close 3rd in last week's competition!! Congratulations and well done to whoever it was!! :star:

[stideas]

Well I never thought I would finish 1st with FSLR. I had no doubts FSLR falling but not 22% in 1 week...:beerglass::biggrin:

MS Long please

All the ingredients for the market (financials) to bounce back...

RDN long please....

[aiki14]

I wanted MS long, but I'll go with NCC long again hoping they'll get a slice from Paulson. I am seeing a friday close of $2. If that's not correct I'll go with ETFC long

Sorry aiki. I actually thought you might want to pick up MS but maybe next time....

I did pick up MS call after your post. It completely dropped off my radar before you brought it to my attention...

Thanks aiki...

KONG long please.

Aiki and I once had a really close finish too for first place; a $0.01 change in either of our picks would have made the difference.

[rkahn]

SYNA long

[TheChartGuru]

GM long

The Guru

[1960vw]

FTEK long, thanks!

[Florida]

sticking with the ultra etf's, but going with MZZ short this week

[Albert0373]

KONG long please.

I'd like to change that to CSUN long please, thanks.

[BillBalawski]

NAV long please. way undervalued.....strong government contracts should pull this through

[CSSVT]

sticking with the ultra etf's, but going with MZZ short this week

gonna go with an ultra etf as well and those who followed my ups and downs on friday know that i'm playing this out of spite and hope since i got greedy as the day went on.

So without further ado: DUG long

Thanks

[Pinguin]

Since TCG took GM I will go with the theory of the ultra etf's and go with SDS short. It will be a short week, 4 days, and I think we will see a little less emotion

Lots of people seem to be confused on this.

Ultra shorts were last weeks big moves. I like DUG because I haven't seen many media peoples sayin that Oil is goin any higher...lots sayin it goes to 50 by 2 weeks from now and 30 by november. fingers crossed. :). I'm actually holding DUG myself. I said that it was my pick out of spite and hope...that spite and hope has to do with the fact that i got completely burned from 3-4 on Friday and held over the weekend in hopes of a big week next week for DUG

[englishman26]

UYG long. :confused:

[John Law]

MS short.

[Horsefish]

Gonna stick with TMA long ....it's just a matter of time.

[xpiratesxcorex]

NCC long please good sir.

[CSSVT]

NCC long please good sir.
If this is any indication of the coming week you could be looking at another bad one Pirate....

Aiki beat you on the first page :biggrin:

[Pinguin]

I think the best thing that happened last week was the weekend! Suddenly I feel better. Futures are up, governments all over the world are printing money and buying stakes in banks, England scored 5 goals yesterday; everything's just wonderful and right with the world again! :dancing:
