Will be busy tomorrow so will throw my picks into the mix today........

50% in LXRX
50% in MITI

LXRX---just raised a barrel of money with secondary and partnership deal for either of their three drug candidates could happen any time.....hopefully, before August. One must keep in mind.....LXRX is a long way from getting anything approved by FDA, but at this current price and partnership announcement could put some bounce to this stock.

MITI--time to ride this tiger one more time with major ASCO conference coming up in June where binary news is expected to be announced. Stock has pulled back from recent high, but news out this week is laying the foundation for the next run.

In case I neglect to post later I will put 30% of the funds into the purchase (Long) of

PAL

I gather from Rule 2 that future transactions may be accepted on any trading weekday, is that correct?

Just haven't taken the time to find any other stocks for this round. Wish to put something on by Monday/Tuesday.

Elroy,

Sorry for this correction.

May as well fill the position out today lest I run afoul of some rule as yet unknown to me.

As in the earlier post,

30% towards the purchase of PAL

Also,

35% to Buy C

35% to Buy MPG

Thank you...

Oh, congratulations to Peter for winning Contest 12.

I'm tempted to keep 20% in cash as I suspect a correction is long overdue... but it is Time for Semis to join FNSR and everyone seems to think we need a correction... so lets go for the gusto with all in:

ALTR
FNSR
LRCX
VRGY

25% into each

Thanks

PS If you want to send me a copy of the spreadsheet every Friday... I can post the standings on the future Fridays' going forward if your laptop crashes. No trading updates but at least we could see how everyone is doing on the page summary.

Please invest 20% each in:

RVSN - Trading neaarly at cash, no value given to business. Cisco's purchase of competitor amounted to some loss of Cisco revenue but street has over-punished the stock.

SWIR - Purchase of Wavecom (which nearly killed it) is starting to pay off. M2M is expected to grow and SWIR is well positioned to take advantage.

PCS - All big carriers entered pre-paid market but are not getting anticipated traction and perceived competition to PCS is not really materilizing. Expect PCS to continue to grow. Better earnings and balance sheet than LEAP or Sprint.

CSPI - purely a speculative play. trading way under cash and book.

OPXT - Also speculative. Has not caught up with other optical plays. Strong YEN has been affecting the share price. Now that the Japanese govt is pushing for weaker Yen (to increase exports), it should help.

Thanks for managing the contest. Good luck to all.

Disclosure - I own all these in my personal account(s). There are many other candidates which I own but we are only allowed five so I intend to stay with these considering the contest time frame.
