Feels A Lot Like "Foot - In - Mouth"

"A Back Office, A Back Office ... My Kingdom for a Back Office!" Bastardizing Shakeshpeare here a little bit, my excitement about some strong portfolio advances at the end of Week 4 that potentially would have changed the nature of the contest has left me with a little bit of "foot in mouth" disease. If I had a back office for this contest this situation may not have occurred. My apologies go to Roman H., who appeared to have made huge gains over the past week (sorry, your portfolio is still doing well, just not as well as earlier indicated), but as it was correctly pointed out by Anonymous commenting on the Week 4 graph blog (thank you for that!), we will make corrections to the portfolio positions as of the end of Week 4 (November 11th). There will be only one portfolio affected by this correction, but it will change the positions of the portfolios slightly. This we will do very shortly, given there is some back dating needed to be done to the spreadsheet we are running as it is tied to a real-time pricing feed. Keep your eyes on the UCU blog spot for these updates. We will also be providing fresh material pricing everyones positions and portfolios as of mid day today, along with updated stock screens for the TSX Composite, TSX Venture and S&P 500 stocks.
