Would never quibble with a lady and their savvy about most everything--plus, it wouldn't have change the outcome, as you finished with a fantastic run to the wire(side note--when I was younger and had more money than sense, I had part ownership of a race horse with that name--Run to Wire.
And could that horse run at the finish!) So congratulations on a fine contest!

If my trade of January 18th had happened, selling (DSCO) and buying (PIKE) the final results for me would have placed me in 4th place--.08 cents behind Sarman. Considering that early on in the contest I was in next to last place--I'm just glad I beat the S&P. In the future I will avoid giving my rationale for my stocks--plus, one should see from these results--timing is everything!

And thanks to Elroy for running the contest! Plus, though our opinions on stock selection criteria might differ, one should always regard other's opinion---on stocks! We all can look at 'our' stocks and forget to take our 'rose-colored' glasses off, before marrying a stock!
