The
amazing
Thursday
By Yinon
Arieli | December 3, 2007
Last Thursday we conducted a
special competition ("Super Thursday") with
substantially higher prizes and without the diversification limits. Many of you
took the challenge and registered to this game. To those of you who missed the
excitement of that day, let me summarize the highlights of the competition.
Victheslick managed to beat all the other players with an amazing gain of 31%.
Checking Victheslick's portfolio reveals a consistent
stock trading strategy; each
time Victheslick bought one stock, used all his account value, and sold it about
5 minutes later, regardless if there was a gain or a loss. Victheslick probably
knew what he was doing since almost 85% of the trades ended up yielding positive
returns. Among Victheslick's most profitable trades were Crocs Inc. (CROX), the
designer, manufacturer and marketer of footwear, the holding company Zoltek
Companies Inc. (ZOLT), TiVo Inc. (TIVO), the provider of technology and services
for digital video recorders, and Central Garden & Pet Co. (CENT), which produces
and distributes products for the pet, lawn and garden supplies markets. The
latter was traded by Victheslick ten times that day. It is also important that I
mention daujones, who ranked second, gaining 23% while trading only 4 stocks,
and Iverson who took third place with a return of about 20%. To reiterate the
point, the three winners had returns of 31%, 23% and 20% in one day!!!
This was a special stock trading competition. But, if these returns rouse your appetite, you
can join the daily games that are offered on Yalicoo. The excitement in these
competitions is unique and it is a great place for short term traders to
practice their moves and prove who the best trader in the world is. Yalicoo’s
real time stock trading platform is probably the best on the Net. Take advantage
of the unique features of this platform to improve your trading skills; there is
no doubt that using Yalicoo will make you a better trader.
See,
I told
you he
is a
genius...
In case you didn’t read my last review of the
monthly competition, when I wrote
‘genius’, I actually meant ‘genibus’. Since Yalicoo was first launched, the
genibus name has been constantly appearing on our scoreboards. Genibus' award
list is probably longer than that of any other Yalicoo competitor. He won every
possible competition on Yalicoo. However, genibus is probably never satisfied,
as he continues to participate in most of the competitions (and I hope he will
continue to do so in the future, since he is increasing the standards of the
games). Participating in the last monthly competition, which ended just a few
days ago, was also a wise choice for genibus, who won the first place with an
impressive monthly return of 13.2%, taking home the glory and the $1000 cash
prize.
Keep in mind that this wasn’t an easy month for investors since the market was
bearish. But, Yalicoo competitors such as genibus, Fred (2nd place; 13%),
FortuneTeller (3rd; 11.5%), HKN (4th, 9%) and others, continue to constantly
beat the market. I keep repeating this statement in almost every newsletter I
write. Since trading on Yalicoo is as close as possible to real time trading,
the results teach us that it is possible to achieve such high returns also in
real life trading. Moreover, the same leaders keep appearing on the scoreboards.
In other words, if you follow these expert traders in participating in Yalicoo
competitions, this could possibly assist you in your real life trading. Stock
trading is a game of odds and Yalicoo can increase your odds by improving your
skills as an investor, thus possibly increasing your returns.
How
to beat
the
leaders
in 10
days
10 days ago we had genibus, FortuneTeller and Fred leading the
quarterly
competition. At this point, the market has started to change its steady-bearish
behavior and is demonstrating a slightly bullish trend. It is possible that HKN
spotted this trend change and decided to register to the competition; this was a
smart move, which eventually lead him to get ahead of the three above-mentioned
leaders. During the last 10 days he wisely bought companies such as the
Chinese-language Internet search provider Baidu.com Inc. (BIDU), Clearwire
Corporation (CLWR), the builder of wireless broadband networks, and the ocean
transportation services company - TBS International Limited (TBSI); he then sold
them, making substantial profits for his portfolio and putting himself in the
lead of the current quarterly game with a return of almost 16%.
As we all know, stock trading can be very volatile; but, if you intelligently
choose your spots and make smart moves, it is possible to gain high returns even
in relatively short periods of time. The HKN case shows us that it is never too
late to join a competition and it is definitely never too late to join the
quarterly. The last month of this quarter should be very interesting to watch.
Be prepared for additional ups and downs on the scoreboard.
Have a
good
Yalicoo
stock trading!
