    Nah, I've probably seen the majority of the gains as premium compression (erosion) will soon take hold. I could flirt with 250% but it would be very short lived.

    << <i>Four contestants are now in the "Double" club. I beleive Dr. Buster's total is the highest ever recorded since the contest began a few years ago. Also note pragmaticgoat and roadrunner have the same pick (NUGT), which I did not notice during the initial setup. Can't change it now...

    Pragmaticgoat picked it first so he will get all the glory for whatever NUGT does in 2014. I'm just a bystander more interested in results than glory. image
    After the 2013 epic washout....how could 2014 not be better? I should have chosen JNUG but it really didn't cross my mind at the time....JNUG is about 14% ahead of NUGT. >>




    JNUG indeed, I didn't even know it existed when I sent in my pick for this year.

    Some huge swings in the last two weeks as some investors here have seen 30-40% or more knocked off their portfolio. The average portfolio is about 11% smaller than it was in mid-March.

    But there is still a long way to go.

    adjective 1. fierce; cruel; savagely brutal. 2. brutally harsh; vitriolic; scathing: his truculent criticism of her work. 3. aggressively hostile; belligerent.

    How so comrade?

    I prefer a bit lighter definition, Rendenski.



    : aggressively self-assertive : belligerent
