Ombud I'm not finding anything for CTN.

[clarkrl2]

I was never able to find anything on CTN except for a symbol on the CVE. Ombud if you give me a clarification I will add it to the list for tomorrow.

tyfighter3 jumps out to an early lead. ModE91 is the only other player beating the benchmark.

[Ombud]

C T R N - CITI TRENDS INC. For some weird reason it keeps changing it to CTN whenever I typed it in so this time I did it with spaces. I'm down

[architecto25]

Clark, perhaps a little assistance: ...
This afternoon, Scottrade would not honor the symbol; but BigCharts gave this: 
CTN ( Centurion Minerals, Ltd.) 
Open .04;  high .04; low .04; Close .04   Down .005  (-11.11%) traded only 10,000 shares today
52 wk. low/high:   .03/.13.
But Bigcharts did not show a "profile" button so additional information could not be obtained. 
and when I first typed the symbol in the Quotes column they entered CA:CTN
What the CA is I haven't the foggiest
See now, we old grey headed men are good for something..... LOL

Updated with Ombud's CTRN.

Ombud, I moved aside, but Uncle caught you when you fell!

[clarkrl2]

[ModE98]

So far, so good, for FEYE this week.  Now if it can hold on to a plus momentum for two more days and beat the BenchMark, all will be fine.  The computer hacking going on by foreign interests sure helps the likes of FEYE and similar security related stock currently.  But with kadee on my tail, who knows how we end up position-wise when the bell rings Friday.

[tyfighter3]

Mod, my horse has just been cruzin, Plenty enough in the fuel tank to finish the race.

[ModE98]

Ty, I believe you, plenty of time to jump into the lead as long as it behaves.

[clarkrl2]

ModE91 remains in the lead with one day to go. tyfighter3 is second and architecto25 is third. Four of seven are beating the benchmark.

Wow, what a day for FEYE!  Must have devoured some souped up oats last night.  Zooooom (at least until 3 p.m.).  Looks like a very positive finish coming. 

[clarkrl2]

ModE91's mount had plenty of fuel in the tank and fire in his eye to win going away. tyfighter3 edged kadee66 for second. Those three were the only players beating the benchmark.
