ON CONTEST: Hee, hee! I'm so glad I lost -- or rather, that Telescan's "Macro*World Price Forecasts" lost (because I was only testing out their projections)! Too often I let these people intimidate me (although I know better): they are always forecasting that the stocks I have, or want to buy, are going to go down!

For the record, here were Macro-World's 7-day forecasts for contest week:

NE: +7.8%
CXIPY: +2.7%
RIG: +2.5%
GLBL: +2.2
MDCO: +.6
RDC: -3.7%
PDS: -3.7%
VRC: -7.1%

Hee, hee -- so much for "scientific," "mathematical" projections! Bring on the next contest: I'll give Macro*World a second try.

By the way, Diamond H -- do you have the actual percentage increases/decreases for the stocks on your list? It would be interesting to compare!
