OK, looks like we have 9 playas, PAAS, EPCT, BDCO, OSTK, MRTN, GOOG, CWPC, CYAN, GRVY....if Benjamin says it is OK we can start a new board where we can each make an "insurance" pick besides the one you actually played.....for a $2000 payoff. This gives you a chance to analyse each of these plays to see if maybe there is a better short for Mon than the one you picked. I'll make my insurance pick if there is any interest in this idea and one of da moderators arranges a new 'hot potato insurace'  |

WSTM will be my entry. Don't know a thing about it, but it looks like everyone else is playing the "biggest % gainer" list from Friday, so I'll go with one from the biggest % loser list and see if it keeps dropping. I know nothing about the company, nothing about why it dropped, and don't care, which means I put about as much thought into this pick as it looks to me that some of the rest of you did. So there.  |

| Dave, I was thinking about doing what you did but decided to go with a stock I thought was overpriced. We shall see if picking the biggest gainer works. |

Well, I have no idea what will happen, this is outside of my normal behavior.  BTW, love your signature line.  |

And big surprise, as I checked just a moment ago I'm in second place.
EPCT is down 6%
WSTM down 3.89%
OSTK down 3.42%
CYAN down 2.78%
All others are essentially even or in some cases even up.
BDCO is up 25.3%, nice pick, just wrong direction. |

| I was holding that on Friday when the earnings came out. They ended up having a great year. |
