week of 15 thru 19 december 2008

[bankedout]

I put dg down to ride his winning horse from last week. Here are the results after day 1:



bankedout is closest to starting the race.

My Strategy is working! I didn't get the gap down low open I had hoped for though., and what I thought was Monday's am foreign markets summary was likely a carryover from Friday and not dated on Stockcharts-
It looks like all riders had the same strategy in mind, as we are all moving in reverse!SD

bankedout:

Thanks for stepping in during my absence. It's great to know that the board can run in my absence during unforeseen freaks of nature.

BTW, I was delighted to discover that you entered me with my previous week horse. That is exactly what I would have wanted you to do -- knowing that I play every week. In fact, that would have probably been my entry (truth be known).

CONGRATS! sd.

[dg]

WOW! from first place to last place in one day (for which the market hardly changed). I feel so violated. Now I have to go call ELMER'S to pick up my dead horse and send back the victory flowers I ordered. RATS! RATS! RATS!

[bankedout]

Nice one sd. I saw dg's horse running around the track and then all of a sudden one of the legs gave out. Not a pretty sight!

For next week I would like to race range bound KO short

[Spiderman]

Nice win SD.

Hey DG you were looking like the winner until Friday WOW.
I'll ride NVEC long.

MY horse for the last race of 08 is CYT short.

[sd]

Thanks guys,
A squeaker of a win, but a win all the same-
I think I'll ride FXI all over again- This week should be mild market wise, as half the traders are likely taking the week off.-At least those that got bonuses might.
Good Luck! SD
