Here's the charts after day 1- 3 Naysayers Short, 3 Optomists Long!

Blygh, I think my horse opened at 38.90 and closed at 38.60 for a .30 cent loss. Since I'm short that would give me a small gain I believe. -ira

You are right -  I must have made an error in updating the Excel spreadsheet I use to update the tote board.  I will emend.

I want to short FCAU at the closing price today (Fri) for next week's race

HMMM, I wasn't sure that was still in effect- glad it is- Can I get the market close price for HEDJ on Friday last week. I think it was $57.40
and well below Monday's gap higher- Every little bit helps!Thanks! I'll take CRUS long for next week- just bought some-SD
I posted Hedj "Dec 30, 2016 at 12:46pm QuoteEditlikePost Options Post by sd on Dec 30, 2016 at 12:46pm
To start the year's Horse race. I was considering staying with EW - it's one green spot in my trading account making gains today-
Instead, I will start the year with what i intend to be one of my Investment race picks- HEDJ long.SD


SD - I gave you EW at the Friday closing price the previous week so I figured you were aware of it - I am not sure how to handle the case where a stock is chosen before the Friday close but no request is made to bet the Friday close.   A rider may not want it at the Friday close if e,g, he thinks a stock will go down on an expected after hours earnings disappointment while  he expecting a Monday bounce.  In general I shy away from reinterpreting the rules after the fact.  Opinions all?

CONGRATS BLYGH AND TIARRA FOR A POSITIVE 2ND PLACE!

[blygh]

SD I sympathize.  If you got in on last Friday's close - 57.40 you would have finished with a first with  a 1.1% gain.  

[sd]

iT'S FINE- That was my intention when I posted-to enter at the closing price Friday- however- guidelines are there for a purpose- I will make the proper declaration in the future , not an issue!

[sd]

I'll go with EW long this week- still could have plenty of upside .

[Spiderman]

Congrats Blygh.
I'll ride NUAN long.
