> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CnoteChris \* > \*\*Heh heh heh… > \*\* Jeez, **Cnote** , talk about makin’ a guy nervous. 23% in one day, almost doubles my single best day. So I wonder…hey, **SD** , are we giving out consolation prizes for “Best Comeback That Almost But Not Quite Made It To The Finish Line”? (Kinda reminds me of the Tennessee Titans in Superbowl 34 – down by 7 and running out of time on the 1 yard line). Heh heh heh… Paul ---

LAST PLACE!!! Man, couldn’t win a thing the whole time. Congrats, Paul the Younger. ---

Well this little thing was pretty interesting. I’m in on the next one, whenever that is. ---

Damn. I forgot all about this Good Friday crap and the markets being closed. Stupid arcane holidays… Just one more day, one more day, I tell ya, and I’d have had you all for lunch. Nxt time I’ll actually _try_ before the second to the last day of trading. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by pantom_ > **Congrats, Paul the Younger** Thanks, man. I had fun with this (much easier when it’s not your money), and I learned a lot, too. Still working on my bragging rights sig. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CnoteChris \* > \*\*Just one more day, one more day, I tell ya, and I’d have had you all for lunch. > \*\* Yeah, I believe you. One more day and I’d have been up by 24% or down by 6, especially how I was up and down the last few days. I really think the odds of the “sleeping bears” were better then those of us actively trading. At least until Nasdaq started climbing and bringing you tech longs up out of the doldrums. I just want to say “Great Job” to **sdimbert** for getting this going and keeping it going, and providing the banner. :: patting **sd** on the back :: Marketplayer site has worked out very well (only two small trading delays all month, and no major outages from my veiwpoint.) I think we’ve found our home for the next competition, huh? Paul ---

Yeah. Since I missed saying this before, that _was_ pretty cool **SD**. What’s in store now? ---

As far as round 4 goes, give me a day or so to look at the calendar, set things us and make a new banner. ---

So what do you say? Best turn-around: -16% to +5% in one week. I would have been sweatin’ bullets at the end, I’ll tell you what, 'cept I kept forgetting to check on the thing, so I never really saw how bad it all was going! Well, finishing in the black is it’s own reward, says I. ---
