What about me? I bought AXP at $69 1/2 a couple of days ago. It's now over $87. BTW, what's up with CPQ. It refuses to move up.

Hi Tim, Was your contest based on points or percentage. SKYW closed last Thursday at 14 13/16 SKYW closed today at 19 1/2 For the period, +4 11/16 + 31% Now if only I had held it for the entire gain <g> David (I did get most of it)

Tim ... I hate to point out the obvious .... but you can't do a straight points gained ... you have to do it on a fixed capital investment basis .... ie ... you can buy 3 time as many shares at 30 than you can at 90. So ..... comparing a 90 dollar stock like CCI with my little PIXR that trades in the low 30's is ... futile ... % gained is the way to do it surely ??!! Good luck to all Stephen
