Overall, a bad week for the CUSA market with several companies showing disappointing results. WKU saw its shares plummet 25% after losing a major order to what was considered a lesser, start-up. ODU, UTSA, UAB, and USM also saw their share priced shaved.

The only upside was seen in FIU, who was able to hit the road and return with positive results.

The updated prices are as follows:

Team Price/Shr
FAU 9.00
Marshall 8.50
UNT 8.50
UAB 7.00
La Tech 7.00
ODU 6.00
USM 6.00
Middle 6.00
FIU 6.00
UTSA 5.00

I think you put the decimal in the wrong spot, WKU is at 40 cents, not $4.

Not willing to say that yet, but it should have been $3.00, not $4.00.

Realized something else, due to all the acronym teams, our conference is perfect for this stock contest, almost everyone has a ticker symbol name.

Does this mean I get to talk trash to clt for a week?

I think you can do that anytime. Standing not required.

clt says you jabronis will be in trouble when Charlotte beats ODU 9-7 tomorrow

OATM brokerage still has R as a buy

I must have missed something. Is this a weekly thing? I thought, that after having bought my shares before the season i was done. So I could change my shares, maybe sell something I don't believe in anymore or get rid of my shorts?
In any case, I cannot come up with how it is my portfolio is at 100

I adjust the prices weekly based on unexpected outcomes (based on the data I used to set opening prices). You can't buy or sell, but adjusting the prices allows for winners and losers to emerge as the season progresses. I list the current share price each week, so your score is simply the share price times number of shares you own for each team minus the share price times the number of shares for any short position. Since some teams are performing as I anticipated their scores have remained flat. If those are the team's you own you score would still be 100 (unchanged).

clt says just pay clt!

Not so fast.... I shorted ODU. Charlotte beating them, helps me too.

My weekly picks are suffering, but I have time to catch up on those.

Our stocks are locked. I was referring to my "Line in the Sand" picks, where I picked ODU to win the game.
