No contest before it's time. (or) The Grapes of Wrath
  Dave, 
  My impression of posts on this thread from those many  who post here is that the trading is almost like day trading since conditions in these markets are influenced very much with great and many world events like the 9/11 terror attack and the Enron/Anderson and the now Middle East situation.
  Since all the above have the potential to cause up-heavel in ways just guessed at today, might any contest over a short 3 days out be just too un-knowable ?  I do admit that selective stock picking does require knowing that TA and FA and other stuff i'am not into, but even those i have grown up with like GE seem to be touched with the Anderson sickness.
  Might until world events un-flow like the Middle East, Anderson and any further terrorist advances occur that a week by week un-official contest predicting more global objects like the numbers associated with DOW, Nasdaq, US dollar and indexes you guys mention like SOX be more of a predicting contest so that them trends might be better talked about.  
  A quick hype by me to a question about any block-buster companies that may change in a large hic-up a market sector like a scientist discovers cold fusion for cheap energy delivered.  To me that sector of DNA and protein research might be affected if a science person can develope a tool or machine thats a factor of ten better than what is now being used so that advances can occur in one year rather than ten years out.  My pick is haberscience.com with pinksheets HABE.
  Hopefully i don't scare away people from viewing these pictures with me saying that i like them because many on this sample page remind me of my home planet Pluto where all life forms live under the planet's surface in the many large caverns.
  ok,ok, thats a lie Full Disclosure: Planet Pluto is not a planet but a spacecraft disguised as a cold rock. Them who live there, like me in disguised on this planet Earth, fleed from our Krell planet after that machine  "took over" and to this day is waiting for us to return so that we can finally "service" it's desire for physical gold.  Yes, we have visited your planet these last many years once it became knowed to all who travel light-years looking for the cheapest gold price, and lucky for us Krell folks we discoved about 40 years ago, that for some reason that does not make sense to us, the United States groups of people decided to rid themselves of their gold at very cheap prices.
  We shall leave soon since the United States's vaults of gold have been replaced with a strange replacement of little value, something you call fiat paper :o)
  Yes, soon on page 1 of Science magazine, or page 26 of People, will have this man who discovered planet Pluto is missing, and soon after it will be discovered that USA's Fort Knox is empty.
