Sportsfan, Another tough week for the bulls. Pink connects deep with his favorite receiver. Looks like a cold weekend in Actrade Hell. Pink 23, bulls 0. NotNeiderhoffer P.S. Boy, the cheerleaders have been awful quiet lately.

Sportsfan, A rough and tumble week on the mistitled thread witnesses the creation of a new media darling. The hapless longs benefit from a bit of short covering in the last two trading days, but Pink and Packer press them hard and pad the lead. It's three yards and a cloud of dust! The longs have two days to drink themselves into a stupor and lick their wounds. Something tells me we have not heard the last of this Saga. Mr. Pink 30, visiting bulls 0

Sportsfan, Chicago Bulls NOT! Several longs are spotted wearing CUBS hats after a boring week in the unfriendly confines of the mistitled thread. Still, a week in which little is proved and less is accomplished. Stretch the legs and grab a beer, this one is far from over. Rollerball, anyone? Mr. Pink 30, visiting bulls 7

Sportsfan, The bulls charge up San Juan Hill and capture the flag in a week that got weirder by the minute. A recruiting drive in II magazine brings in dozens of fresh troops to the bullish cause. Patriots or crims? That depends on your point of view. Rumors abound that Pink held court midweek in a midtown steak joint as famous for hitmen as beef. Has the Pinkster covered his short? The bulls think NOT but perhaps they are fighting ghost of Pink. Pinks position in AHG cuts his clients YTD numbers but eagle eyed soap fans are impressed by the Pinks audited track record. Hack or hero? Friday's action caps a solid week for the Chicago Bulls as they kick a field goal after driving deep late in the day. Three points is better than none. Has the momentum swung?

Sportsfan, A boring week of trading that was about as exciting as owning a portfolio of utility stocks. Even AARP gets in on the action as the blue haired granny gang shows up trying to bolster their retirement portfolio and displace the Beardstown ladies as America's shrewdest senior citizens. Rumor had it they have been accumulating a stake in Service Corp. International in hopes of negotiating a group rate. Actrade bulls fail to score and also fail to notice another record week as the major averages trade to new highs. Perhaps they don't care for relative strength calculations at this time. Doug R emerges from Stans shadow as the leading chartist and sportsfans of all ages can only ask-What is going to happen midweek? Well, at least now we have baseball to fall back on.

Sportsfan, A holiday shortened week that witnessed Doug R morphing into a trash talking version of Deion Sanders. Perhaps he should spend some more time in the batting cage as it seems the entire TA lineup can't lay a bat on Pink's nasty curveballs. The bulls don't even reach first base this week and go down 1-2-3. All eyes on Augusta until monday. Mr. Pink 30, visiting bulls 10 NotexpectingTigertorepeatNeiderhoffer

Sportsfan, Just when you thought it had turned into a curling match the TA bats came alive. More action than a Jackie Chan flick despite the annoyance of Uncle Sam rearing his ugly head midweek. Although Doug R's promise of a violent rally was off by a few days, Actraders of all stripes rejoiced with a week that wet the eyes of many old time thread watchers. Pinks far flung network proves hard to run from India and he can only hope Globalstar gets those satellites up on schedule. With the longs waking up from their rope-a-dope act, one can only ask what next week will bring. Has the sleeping elephant stirred? Doug R's taunting of foes and Zebra's alike nearly sends him to the showers but cooler heads prevail and he will likely lead the charge into next weeks action. Enquiring minds need to know: Doug R do you ever sleep? Will Pink's empire crumble like Yankee Stadium? Will NotNeiderhoffer hit any trees Sunday in his first golf outing of the season? Will any of us get audited by the IRS? No spiking please Mr. Pink 30, visiting bulls 17 NotlikelytohavehonorsmuchonSundayNeiderhoffer

Sportsfan, The long anticipated earnings release fails to put the big points on the board. Perhaps a bit disappointing for the longs as their EPS number gets lost in the shuffle of earnings season on Wall Street. A moral victory for the traveling Pink? Next weeks action is likely to prove fast and furious as America's most wanted returns from a vacation in India. The ticker tape parade begins at 6:30 sunday from Teterboro airport for those so inclined. The longs gut it out and score 3 in the closing moments of a rather quiet week.

Sportsfan, This week the action barely resembles the Knick-Heat rivalry we have come to expect. Private messages claiming that the elderly Mr. DaveF has gone to the big lavatory in the sky can only be debunked by a post from this former long posterboy. Even Doug R seems to lose interest as he wisely decides to get a little sleep here and there. Perhaps the implosion of Tokyo Mex's once mighty empire has distracted SI'ers now in The Dog House.

Z man lead the charge against Pink and his legion of doom.

Sportsfan, My life of leisure does not permit Friday posts until September. Please forward my mail to Quoque and Nantucket where I intend to resurrect the lost art of hammock napping. Which of course was a early american form of couch potatoitis. Please join me for a special update in late September as I recap the annihilation of the once proud Notre Dame football on September 19th. Anyhow... One can only wonder if the Actrade longs are at all worried about the virtual collapse of Individual Investor magazine. After shuttering the hedge fund last week, this week witnesses several top execs flying the coop at the beloved INDI. Will the magazine survive to reignite the hopes and dreams of the longs? It could prove to be a long hot summer of mounting tension if ACRT remains mired in this narrow trading range. Indonesian rioting will likely prove tame compared to the powder keg that is simmering on the other thread. Is a Pink victory inconceivable? Will the TA types prevail? Will Dave F make it to Labor Day? Will trackman hit the longshot in the final leg of the triple crown and use his winnings to make a tender offer at $30? Only Mr. Market can say for sure.

Sportsfan, The last week in May fails to provide much in the way of thrills for dedicated Actradeophiles. Although americans have never been big believers in the monarchy, the crowning of JC as King of the thread by court jester Joe "I am no joke" Hoek might be remembered as the biggest royal event since Prince Andrew's and Prince William's lost weekend with the Spice Girls. Who ever said royalty does not bring privilege? Perhaps the roller coaster market has left the most hard core among us speechless as posts shrivel down to next to nothing. Speaking of shriveled, Zman does leave his mark this week, however small, and solidifies his position as the most prolific master debater on the Actrade boards. The salad days of civility appear to be a distant memory on the going to zero thread. Expecting a witty comeback... NOT Mr. Pink 30, visiting bulls 20

Sportsfan, Although the trading week has not quite ended, it appears Pink and the Boyz in his hood have the upper hand in a week marked by escalating tensions. Indeed, firefights and skirmishes seem to be breaking out all over Pink controlled territory on SI. Will Pink go down in SI lore as one of the first shorts to wage successful campaigns in two theatres of war? At this time it is a tossup whether the Actrade longs are in worse shape than Skipard's faithful over on the CCSI thread. Yours truly is thrilled to be posting from neutral Switzerland as Pink's strike force turns up the heat. Indeed, it appears JC has traded in his rubber bullets for armor piercing shells and the mistitled Actrade thread is beginning to look more and more like Bloody Lane at Antietam. Trackman proves brave but perhaps foolish and one can only wonder if his courage will secure him a final resting place at Arlington National Cemetary. Simply a week of smashmouth football than might evoke an "oh Nellie!" from the likes of Keith Jackson. Pink pads the lead and begins to draw comparisons to those Dolphin teams of the 70's.

Sportsfan, Mr. Pink's strike force made history this week with a Monday morning assault on the usual suspects. His march up Madison Avenue in a WWII vintage Sherman tank set off car alarms and terrified the Ladies who Lunch in the Silk Stocking district. After making an illegal left turn onto East 80th Street, Pink surprised a visiting Skipard who was loitering outside of the abandoned headquarters of CCSI hoping to catch an announcement of "the deal". In a dramatic moment witnessed by dozens of Korean born manicurists, Skipard pulled a Tienamen Square like move in front of Pink's tank. After scraping Skipard off the street, Pink stuck a fork in Skip and proceeded to bitch slap the hapless Notre Dame grad in front of a cheering crowd. After razing CCSI's headquarters Pink adorned Skip's forehead with a large "L" in permanent magic marker and shipped him off to the Museum of Natural History where he will join the world's largest Dinosaur exhibit. He will reside next to the T-Rex in a bullet proof plexiglass enclosure titled buffoonus extinctus. After making a victory speech worthy of Patton, Pink and The Legion of Doom proceeded across Central Park for a frontal assault on Amos Aharoni's Central Park West Apartment. However, General Pink's heavy armor appears to have gotten stuck in the mud caused by heavy spring rains. Harassing fire from Actrade loyalists and smart bombs dropped by Buckfa frustrated Pink who had planned to spend the weekend at Appamattox. Has the two theatre war exhausted Pink's troops? Will he soon resemble Dukakis in a tank? Actrade longs prove harder to squash than NYC cockroaches and actually put points on the board in a week that will live in Infamy.

Sportsfan, The famous Bowser Newsletter takes the baton from the near dead Individual Investor Group operation in a weak week of posting. Unfortunately for the longs, The Bowser crowd seems to have little in the way of dry powder and perhaps it will take an endorsement from the grandaddy of all investment newsletters to dislodge this stock from its trading range. Indeed, Actraditionalists believe that only the return of legendary ex-Value Liner Jeff Vinik can provide the fireworks we were once accustomed to. A few Actrade longs have been caught stealing glances at the carnage on the CCSI thread. Have the newly formed Special Forces tilted the balance of power in this battle? Did Pink really brand Skipard's Sharpe ratio to his ass? Has the giant "L" washed off Skip's forehead yet? Has Skip received more death threats recently than Pink? Is all this Notrelevant? A field goal bounces off the left upright in the closing seconds of a triple witching week as the visiting bulls squander another scoring opportunity. Mr. Pink 33 Visiting bulls 23

Sportsfan, A summer full of two-a-days and unlimited falafel eating has left Actraders in peak condition heading into what could well be the end of this sordid tale. We left off with Message 4937985 NotNeiderhoffer's Pigskin Preview Pink's lead should allow him to open up the offense a bit and continue to wear down the faithful longs. Before the action resumes lets take a look at the preseason #1 team in the country and their persistent foes. Mr. Pink and the Bad News Bears Coming off one of the more amazing winning streaks in the history of the securities markets, Pink leads a much larger strike force into battle. Indeed, only the Shadow knows how many lurkers follow Pink's one way picks. Head Coach Mr. Pink The talk of cocktail parties from Maine to Maui, this wunderkid has a fat bank account and fanatical following. Determined to assist an overwhelmed SEC, Pink has vowed to fight aggressive accounting and hypesters from coast to coast. Offensive Coordinator Jonathan Cleveland A former Pink critic turned bodyguard, this former NYC subway cop is now a top lieutenant in the Legion of Doom. Skilled in martial arts and firearms, the head of Special Forces can be counted on to attack when you least expect it. Defensive Coordinator Jeffry White His tireless work against FSS and other pump and dumpers have earned him a place in heaven and on Pink's team. He had been known to jump on grenades and will likely dispel the "failure to deliver" rumors that roil the stock from time to time. Faithful Longs Head Coach Doug R Recognized by New York magazine as one of the legends of SI, this technician with a proprietary system has a following as big as Pink's. Convinced he is on the right side of justice, Doug R loves a good scrap and will likely spearhead the assault on the legion of doom. Offensive Coordinator Robt60 A Yahoo who could be a legend in his own mind, this recent addition spearheaded a campaign against Pink in CLCX some time ago. It appears his claims of victory there were premature, but he is likely to prove dangerous to the shorts. Defensive Coordinator Ryan Plovie Now that he is living the american dream, this long time long spends his free time planning countermeasures against the wily shorts. After spending the summer fending off short attacks during the onset of the bear market, he has got to be pleased with the stock's resilency up to this point. Likely to fight well into the single digits if necessary. Waterboy Zman Years of breathing filthy air in the San Fernando valley have taken a toll on his mental faculties, but he is still able to go-fer things. The proud owner of a bitchin camaro, he would rather drive his car off a Kanan Road cliff than admit defeat to Pink. Hoping for a divine wind to clear the air. Let the games begin...

Sportsfan, The approaching chill in the air seems quite ominous as the Actrade Bowl resumes in the bear market of '98. Much like the Bataan death march, this fall's action will most likely put the weakest of the Actraders out of the game. Indeed, Ryan Plovie's capitulation could be a sign of the times, and for better or worse Zman has moved up the ranks and assumed the position. Zman's defensive posturing seems to have averted the crisis caused by last week's 52 week low, and it appears the visiting bulls will have time to dig in and call for reinforcements. (617) anyone? One can only wonder if Marcia Brady has made off with Robt60's playbook however, as a fall offensive from the bulls now seems as unlikely as a heartfelt Clinton apology. Perhaps Pink's preoccupation with TNSI could open a window of opportunity for the bulls to recruit fresh money to "the cause", but for now it is Mr. Pink 33, visiting bulls 23

Sportsfan, Although we are only a couple of weeks into the season it appears that the Legion of Doom might not coast to the easy victory some pundits expected. Perhaps a few more creatine-laced falafels will provide the boost they need to finish off the longs. Pink's hot hand has cooled a bit of late and he better pace himself if he plans on catching up to Joe Paterno in the win column. Zman's fanatical defensive formation might have actually stemmed the slide for now and he appears to be bucking to join the offense as well. Team Actrade moves up a few slots in the polls this week, but will America actually root for this underdog? Time will tell Mr. Pink 33, visiting bulls 23

Sportsfan, Zman's stunning rise from waterboy to Heisman trophy candidate has flabberglasted Actraders in a week that humbled many of the titans on Wall Street. Perhaps some day Actrade's current short position will seem as absurd as Long Term Capital Management's leveraged portfolio now appears. Pink's midweek claims of a partial cover on his ACRT short were called into question by the silent but possibly deadly Robt60, who apparently prefers to work behing the scenes. Actrade longs looking for a bonafide short squeeze might want to pull up the chart of TNSI. Although the company is not located anywhere close to Little Big Horn, this week's massacre might someday deserve a monument to hubris as dozens of Pink's green recruits scrambled for their lives. Indeed, newbie shorters have recently learned the meaning of "buy in" and other nifty phrases that are not usually part of the water cooler chit chat on Main Street. Thus, predators become prey.

Sportsfan, Actrade longs have in the past drawn comparisons to the Chicago Cubs, and many of the diehard longs probably experienced deja vu while watching last nights game. It looks like Sammy Sosa will soon have a little free time on his hands that he can devote to the actrade cause, but in the meantime... The recent stock price action has been mercifully quiet as actraders fix their gaze on the potential time bombs that continue to tick away in other parts of their portfolio as we approach earnings season. Mr. Pink's colossal victory in the FP guerilla campaign might permit him to refocus his efforts on Actrades demise, but Zman's newly bolstered lineup might well thwart Pink several weeks into the fourth quarter of this volatile year. Perhaps Doug R will soon blow off a seminar to visit yours truly at 230 Park, where he would have an opportunity to sit down with a few pioneers in the hedge fund biz whose talents and energies might convince SI's famed technician to hold on tight to his day job before hubris brings him down as well. Reminding myself that sometimes it is better to be lucky than good, it looks like the stalemate continues Mr. Pink 33, visiting bulls 26

Sportsfan, Although Mr. Pink is arguably having a better year than the New York Yankees, the season ain't over yet. And although Pink's dynasty will likely in time rival that of the Bronx Bombers, Actrade might have to be marked with an asterisk in the official Pink box score. Posting activity on the mistitled thread picked up, thankfully, in another roller coaster week on Wall Street, giving me some material to work with for a change. This week saw famous humanist A. Geiche rant and rave about man's inhumanity toward man, although it was tough to hear him over the clink of Champagne glasses as Pink's flock celebrated the near demise of FP and several other specialty finance issues. Doug R had a chance to buy Actrade stock in the $10.50 area and will probably book his tenth or twentieth successful trade in this name. No doubt dip buying will continue to work here until it doesn't. And Randall Rosen, when not running marathons, seems to be looking for a man in Hollywood for some unknown reason. Maybe he should ask Hugh Grant or Eddie Murphy for directions to Hollywood and Vine. But maybe we should not go there. Looking forward to an all sports weekend Mr. Pink 33, visiting bulls 26

Sportsfan, Although some would say the Actrade thread has gone to the dogs, sockscats recent arrival might keep things purrrring as we move into the middle of this uneventful season. The lack of dividend payout on actrade's stock has left many shorts wondering how Mr. Cats financed SI's now hefty fee. With Keith Jackson's retirement approaching rapidly, the time has come to honor the king of sports commentary. His departure might not seem so depressing until you people realize you are left with only my amateurish babble. Thus, it is time to pay homage to the man who actually shared a booth with the late Howard Cosell without strangling him. For the man who was never afraid to "turn a phrase" with vivid expressions and aphorisms that bring the gridiron to life. "that hit was as hard as blackjack pine" "uh-oh its a big-un" "Ohio State's loaded.

Sportsfan, Although many longs on SI would agree that the sudden appearance of Mr. Pink on their favorite stock's thread is about as scary as waking up next to the Bride of Chucky after a late nite drinking binge, Pink's appearance on the Actrade thread seems to have scared very few longs away from their beloved factoring play. Although I am not sure what Mr. Pink will be for Halloween, I can only hope Steve Buscemi approves. This uncharacteristic Thursday post will be NotNeiderhoffer's last, as the lame European bank that not too long ago paid six times book for his once vibrant and energetic shop seems to be turning it into another maze of bureacracy with overly draconian and complex compliance regulations, including today's news that makes it virtually impossible for yours truly to post on the internet. At this point I can only pray that they stay in business long enough to pay out the retention pool. As I would rather spend my free time working my way through an extensive wine cellar and breathing fresh air on the golf course, late night and weekends posts are unlikely. I look forward to seeing this stock at either $3 or $25 and would hope someone updates the score as needed. A special note of thanks to Zeus549 Mr. Pink Jeffry White Dan Packer (where are you?)

Sportsfan, Although Internut insanity was the biggest story on Wall Street this week, the end of Mr. Pink's vacation was front page news in cyberspace. Indeed, Pink's incredible call on MALL will certainly rejuvenate the recently stagnant equity balances of most memeber of the Legion of Doom. Although I do not know if Pink and the Mrs. joined the mile high club during their recent travels, you can be sure that Cube will automatically upgrade them from coach the next time they fly his airline, proving without a doubt that membership in the Legion has its privileges. Getting back on topic, young homeowner Ryan Plovie reentered the Actrade fray this week. We will not pick on him, though, because living in Metro Detroit is certainly punishment enough. Yours truly looks forward to his annual tailgate party in West Point this weekend where a rare football doubleheader will take place.

Sportsfan, **Special Edition**** Although historians have always debated whether Actrading is more popular than baseball in this great country of ours, I regret to inform the Actrade longs that baseball is firmly back on top. It is probably not a stretch to wager that Mr. Pink is a lock to enter Cooperstown on the first vote as well, guaranteeing his place in history alongside the legends of the games. Speaking of legends, it appears that Mr. Pink and Doug R are in a dead heat as far as popularity contests go Message 8651397 Not bad for a guy who has been semi-retired for the better part of the year. Is Doug R losing momentum despite an active seminar schedule? Will Pink soon take the peoplemark lead? Perhaps the two heavyweights will soon go toe to toe in a toughman contest similar to the one that brought down Skipard. With ACRT's stock price stuck in the mud, maybe we should shift our focus to Augusta where real-life drama will play out over the next few days. Although Mr. Pink has yet to wear the coveted Green Jacket, it is not improbable that he will some day order falafels for the champions dinner that the previous year's winner gets to select. 44 regular I presume? Pink is firmly in control here despite his recent flirtation with the AARP Mr. Pink 47, visiting longs 26
