Getting close to last place. clarkrl, this is unfamiliar territory for you. Tomorrow OPK may take over the back of the pack.

ModE92, RIG will likely not rally this week unless oil futures rally. If oil futures continue to decline as they did yesterday and today RIG will likely continue to decline. A scenario which could work out to the benefit of drillers would be for the FED to indicate they are less likely to raise overnight rates by the end of the year. This could weaken the dollar which should increase commodity prices.

Something going on, OPK nicely in the green today and starting to run. Nice change from Monday's red start. A bit of good news would likely put it at an all-out gallop. (yeah, sure ... not likely  ). |

Early afternoon looking better; but, will the market hold? Definitely hard telling, with all the volatility between bulls and bears. Good luck to all.
2pm markets swooning, 3pm getting worse, so here we go again. Market is a craps table. Never know how things will roll.
Halloween is coming... market is out early, trick and treating! BOO!

Mod,....thank you, sir.
At the end of the race Thursday, I was only .77% ahead of kadee. Today, mostly during the afternoon,
she had squeezed that to where she was No. 1; and I was surprised that I was back at the No.1 spot
at the end of the race. .... now let's fast forward to next week's race.
