I was choosing between OPTC and LEND for model stock in 10-11 area and the first to hit was OPTC and missed LEND (except for one account) and then OPTC reported less than what I had hoped for and sold it for a small profit over $11 but LEND in hindsight was the better choice as the shorts have been getting the big squeeze in the building and mortgage related sectors. If you want to collect entries for a June contest, like the May one (over $5 and 2 stock limit), I'll enter them in my quicken portfolio tracker again when I return from the Senior Olympics. I'll be out the first week of June.

Question to all - I have some Trip Q's. Just thought it was a good way to get diverse amongst the techs, as it normally follows the Naz average. However, I know there will be tech stocks that far outperform the naz average, and was wondering yalls thoughts. Would you stay safe and keep the trip Q's, or would you lose the trip q's and trade them in for a particular stock, and if so, what stock do you think will outperform the averages? I'm not unhappy with the trip q's, as I have some profit, but it is weighted down by 100 stocks, so even when some do well, others can hold her back. Meanwhile, I do notice alot of stocks making much larger % upmoves then the trip Q's, so I am trying to figure whether to trade the trip q's in for 1 stock that has an excellent chance of outperforming the naz, or just keeping the trip q's and stay safer.. Thanks for all opinions.......
