Thanks. I believe that, much like Horseracing, there's as much art to it as science, and you have to have passion. Pouring over a racing form or a stock chart at midnight isn't for everyone.

I get people I know asking me about the stock market and I almost always recommend they stay clear simply because I don't think they'd be willing to do the legwork.

As an aside, if you had to hold either CERN or HPQ for the next five years, which one would you take? I'll stick with CERN.

Early on a number of posters (Saratoga Mike, Sammy the Sage off the top of my head.) educated me on the risks. I had set this up as a year long contest and lived with what I posted for the contest.

In real money I sold out a position on 1/2 that was established on 11/14.

Glad to hear it. We all have our less than brilliant picks. Fortunately, unlike horseracing, in the stock market, you can cancel your ticket after the race has started.
