The skeaky wheel gets ...
the earl.
One of the tidbits of wisdom my Mother gave me when I was a little kid. I never really knew why she said it that way. She grew up in the city of Boston. She did spend time in Texas when she was a WAF.

65 Contestants
There were 50 in the first two DOG contests.
What is interesting is that every single one of the 65 people have been IHubbers for at least 3 years - most around 5 years(VMC'ers) - with the exception of two people. One of them was IHub born in June of last year and another 2 days ago.
The point is that the continuity of the group is really quite amazing for so long a period of time. Also, with as much experience as we have, we should be halfway decent at predicting the DOG. Unfortunately, none of us have a clue... except me of course.
DOW - 7878
OIL - 78.78

Where's MR. SHEEP ... ???????
Where's our friend ... the cud-chewing
mamma of PSL fame ... ?????????????????
Every iHub Contest should have at least one
SHEEP running around ... humping the leg of
the nearest contestant ... and begging for a
snack-treat ... and making noises like a ...
coffee-making machine in heat ... .
Since Len is a practitioner of "The Black Arts
of Sir Ronald Fisher," I think Len should ...
calculate at least one "SHEEP Entry" for the
DOG Contest ... .
Happy New Year Art and all in the VMC community.....
Dow: 11,679
Oil: 89
Gold: 1,304
Good luck to all in 2010!!

Happy new year to you to Rogue....

Congratulations to Stevenrisk:

Here are his three picks and the percentage off for each.
BTW: I credit Stevenrisk for having gotten me into BB stocks way back in the day.DOW 9773 -6.3%

My 2010 predictions.....
Dow 4,750
Oil $129
Gold $1,450
I think the WAR CARD will be played in a major way in the year 2010 at some point as the US government solutions to our economic crisis here are a complete folly at best and are doomed to fail.
All we need is a catalyst......WAR ANYONE??
Len,
try this.. go to stockcharts (free)
http://stockcharts.com/
under enter symbol type in $indu click go, scroll down to the bottom you will see interactive perfectchart, click on it, scroll down on it and you will see symbols: with $INDU in the elongated box, add $wtic , $gold separated by commas than click go..........it should come up....
That's strange because
I know you used it Jan 3,09,

I was out looking for an eye doctor for my squirrel
Thanks, but I would really like to see you make predictions for 2010 - or did I miss them?
Len
Stevenrisk, Let me be the first to congratulate you, unless something catastrophic occurs between now and closing tomorrow (12-31-09) I think you are safe.
As of now 11:43 pm EST gold is trading in Hong Kong @ $1097.70 and light crude @ $79.61
This blind squirrel climbed from hovering around the bottom of the barrel during the first few months of the year to near the top.
