Second Chance: Yet Another Name Takes Lead

Ryan Darichuk moves from 3rd place to second making $48K on a 2.58% gain in Netease.com. And previous leader, Linda Gordon fell to third holding onto aQuantive and losing 0.11% on its decline Monday.

Aric is in first place with a portfolio value of $2,054,449.36 up $177,020.00 or 9.43% from Friday's total. He sold 2,000 shares of Trina Solar Limited up 5.29% Monday making him over $5K. He sold 40,000 Shares of ValueClick Inc. up 14.3% making him over $171K as the market eyes it as the next potential takeover target after aQuantive. He re-bought and is all-in on ValueClick.

Ryan Darichuck moves into second place with a portfolio value of $1,925,133.76 up $48,417.76 or 2.58% from Friday's total. Ryan made no transactions Monday, but holds on to 105,256 shares of Netease.com which he bought on Friday (5/18), making him almost $50K as of Monday's 4p close. Netease.com, the Chinese online game operator, reported an increase in quarterly profit and revenue after the bell Monday, and Ryan is hoping for a positive performance in the market Tuesday--based on that news.
