Currently, that player's portfolio is short Beazer Homes(BZH - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), CIT(CIT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), LDK Solar(LDK - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Yingli Green Energy(YGE - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Layne Christensen(LAYN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). RedSox2008 is trailed in the top five by Sparky1 at $282,050, Georg12ana at 280,019, Rudegal at $278471 and Leon111 at $278,268. Sparky1's returns have come from an all-short portfolio that includes positions in Lennar(LEN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), Fannie Mae(FNM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Hovnanian(HOV - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). MrKrabbs, who had been the leader after two days, fell to 7th place, just over $9000 out of the lead. Contestants can follow the game through the rest of this week at Beat the Street, as well as in the Stockpickr forums. This weekly game will continue for 13 weeks, and players can register for the next game Friday evening.
