Strange market, DOW ends UP 126+ and Shorts dominate contest, with 3 long pickers at or near bottom. Sure demonstrates how difficult it is to pick the "horses" to race in this weekly contest most of the time. It is a real challenge, and many choose not to put up an entry. With this wild market of late, anything can happen between now and Friday.

I have been retired less than a year, and find I have less time to research my picks than when I worked 48 hours a week. We find ourselves busier in retirement than when we both worked! |

VB, at age 92+ I do not get around so much anymore. So, have more time to devote to the game and the threads. I live in a condo community, so no outside work. No pet to care for since my cat passed nearly two years ago. To keep from boredom, spend time on computer and our online investment community during the day. If I was married and younger it would be a different phase in life.

AA down another 2% this morning, due to total selloff of all commodity type manufacturing tanking this morning starting with Cat.

Value Buy
We think that that AA could revisit $4.97 (Intraday Low 3/9/09) or a touch lower & that CAT could revisit $21.71 (intraday Low 3/9/09) or a touch lower. It may not be likely; but it is possible. |

So much for my Short call on STLD, it ate fresh oats overnight and reversed course and going the wrong direction, UP.  Bad timing for this to happen |

Just when one expects a DOWN week, the Fed Chief turns it around and UP she goes on Friday. Shorts got endplayed.  Now, the worry for next week....what next? |
