Congratulations to last week's winners!

Micron Technology was down about 20% on earnings and forecast this week.
Looking for a bounce and hope I do not get taken out on a big up at the open Monday morning.

Hope the market mood gets better tomorrow. With Greek default overhanging it all, perhaps just a wishful thought.

And isn't Puerto Rico defaulting today? No. They made some kind of multi-million dollar payment today, but this is not the payment that will break them. They have another one due in about a month (I think) that they might not be able to cover. The Governor stated they have too much debt in bonds to pay off at current rates, on time of the notes coming due. |

I may not be around this weekend, so put me down for JPM next week, unless I am able to post something different.
JPM, long.
No reason, especially with the European Union economic mess, just nothing suits me at this point
Have a happy and safe July 4th everyone!
