It looks like I am going to win the 2 week April Contest that followed quarterly contest that ended 10 April. Anyone who wants to challenge me (current contestants = 1) so there are 2 or more of us - post your 2 picks for the month of MAY before market open on 1 May. The % gain is 9% for ACET and MSN since 10 April.

....Probably better going to vegas and hitting the blackjack tables <ggg> Then you just end up with the situation where you Have 12 and the dealer shows a 6. You know the proper play is to stay but every time you do the dealer has a 2 down and pulls a 9. If you hit you get a face card. The trick is to have a system or plan and back it up with a money management system that limits your losses and has you betting more when you win. Same as the market. Yep, checked on the stock baskets at e-trade, and they do not charge anything for buying or adding a stock, but they do charge $9.95 if you drop a stock.....so, best not to have 50+ stocks, as you could have to pay $10 a pop if you want to go in and lose 10 stocks from a basket.... That system would seem to me to encourage you to keep your losers. Poor money management. Again why not use a deep discounter like IB if you are concerned about costs. At a penny a share and I'm not sure that there isn't a minimum of $1.00 per trade you can buy 50 stocks for $50.00 and still get out cheaper than $9.95 if you decide to sell.
