Comments : "Quick Pick"
"Quick Pick" is at that special place where a little faith in the market
can bring a little return. Not that $37k is such a little return, but you
have to compare "QP" with some of the other big guns in this list and you
won't be as impressed.
What is impressive though is that "QP" puts up a big sum for his measly
return. That is the $780,440 that this position cost.
There is probably a little lesson here somewhere. That lesson may be that
looking around and not seeing anything which would torpedo the market in June of
2005, "QP" said, "why not" and proceeded to launch just a little volley over the
wall.
Congrats "QP" even though it is was probably not enough to
cover the taxes on your house.
