Congrats! dg for winning this race, and by doing so for becoming the 2008 horse race champion with 13 victories (just surpassing bankedout with 12). It was totally fitting that the final race of 2008 had both contenders tied on the year and fighting it out on the final day for all the marbles.

[glow=red,2,300]Very nice dg![/glow]

I hope you are having a good holiday season.

Next year I'm not going to confine myself to the 30 stocks from the Dow Jones Industrial Average as my stable of horses to choose from.

[bankedout]

I would like to race EWZ long for next week.

Congrats DG.

Happy New Year to all.

I'll ride INT long.

Congrats DG!
I'm going to assume a market trying to rally will be in vogue this week- I'll take TWM long -

I hope all have had a good holiday, and look forward to a prosperous New Year.!
