My 88 year old father was rushed to the hospital a couple days ago for a perforated ulcer and I've been away from my home computer. I'll post an update next week.

There were only minor changes in the standings since the price stayed within the range given since the last scorecard.

My father is recovering from the surgery and is improving.

Plus 1.
Leave this aside as needed. Someone of us will fill in or we will just wait for the end of the year. Family trumps all other projects.

My Dad's out of the hospital and will be at a rehab center for awhile before he can go home.

I'm ready to see some movement in the price. What do you think it will take to do that?

Dad is getting better. Should be able to go home next week.

I am in the top 5! I have to savor this moment, because it may not last long!

I don't think I've ever been in the top 5.

It looks like Kublikhan may take the #1 spot with a new low price for the year and if the price stays below $48 for the close this next Monday. I'll post a new scorecard next week.

As expected, a new low price for the year was reported for May 4th and we have a new leader:

Nice run at the #1 spot, Cog.

The heavy mantle of leadership has been passed to kublikhan. May he wear it until December 30th, when a sudden change of fortune returns it to it rightful owner.

I think we might hit a new low (don't know if it was hit last week already) this friday, don't you think?
