Glad i dont own any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[picantel]

Wachovia shares, which had slumped as the global credit crisis intensified in recent months, dropped $8.20, or 82 percent, to $1.80 as trading resumed Monday afternoon. They had traded as high as $52.25 over the past year.

[louisvillekid]

my Humana(HUM) was up like $2.80 earlier, too bad it was in the $80 range when we started this thing and immediately tanked the 1st week into the contest down to like $40, it has just went up-n-down in the high 30's to mid 40's since then.

[louisvillekid]

how's everyone doing? my stock pick is still never recovered from the big drop right after this started.

[picantel]

My countrywide was changed from CFC to CFC-PA and has nearly tripled.

I tried to put them in a column format but I couldn't succeed. I can send someone the spreadsheet.

It looks like only two contestants are positive. Toll Brothers (TOL) 20.13% and Walmart (WMT) 16.31%

[picantel]

You sure about that pavy? CFC became cfc-a which is positive. Their stock did not just disappear off the board you know.

When I did my spreadsheet I used 1/18 (Friday's closing numbers) as the buy price. I used the current prices at 10:00 am this morning for closing prices.

As far as as CFC-A can someone tell me what is the price on 1/18 (the day the contest started) so I can input it to my spreadsheet. I believe it used to be called CFC back then.

[SBR_John]

Countrywide is a loser. It was a $40 stock that went to near nothing before BAC scooped them up. Toll Brothers??

[SBR_John]

I have Walmart winning.
