Summary of coolfrood's activity

Needless to say, almost all of my stocks were tech. I made a killing on GOOG, AAPL, and INFY. I bought both AAPL and GOOG when there was some bad news. INFY was a great buy: I got 41.6% gains on it. I only wish that I'd invested more in it. The only bad move I made was to sell PNRA at a loss -- I had plenty of PNRA and I could've made good money on it if I'd waited. I also lost some minor amount of money on SNDK, but I still have faith in it and I think it has a lot of potential.

Summary of Ameya's activity

Top 3 Earners:

WNS WNS (HOLDINGS) LTD ADS 100 $25.15 $34.15 $3,415.00 35.79% $900.00
RIMM RESEARCH IN MOTION LTD 25 $67.04 $135.68 $3,392.00 102.38% $1,715.92
JSDA JONES SODA CO 200 $7.87 $9.85 $1,970.00 25.16% $396.00

I was convinced that RIMM would go up. I did not expect it to gain so much to give a whooping 102% returns !! I had expected a rally from 67 to 80s in line wit the previopus rallys.


Top 3 Bad moves:
Cover INFY INFOSYS TECHNOLOGIES ADS 100 $40.28 $52.99 $5,299.00 31.55% -$1,271.00
Sell CA CA INC 100 $22.91 $21.50 $2,150.00 -6.15% -$141.00

MY worst mistakes were shorting INFY at 40.28 (what the f* was I thinking) and HANS (I covered the shorts before the game ended so I don't have the numbers but made serious good money on it).

Finally leading!

I'm ahead of KillerQueen finally, thanks to a great buy on GOOG. Right now, most of my gains come from GOOG, INFY, and AAPL. Somehow, my portfolio summary shows me as #1, which leads me to believe that crazywhiteguy00 has probably left the competition.

The movi saga

Movie gallery saga continues. After the 40 million shares that traded hands on the day it shot up from 3 bux to 5, yesterday was the reverse, where 20 million dumped and short sold the stock from >6 bucks to 2.99 where it closed.

I plan to watch it carefully, & short it right now. I see a down side until about $2.50

On another note, I wish I had been a little more patient about covering my shorts for SMSI. I lost money on what could have been a terrific short.
