Long MIK (Michaels Companies - Specialty Retail) From the revised earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. A couple of week's ago I debated between this stock and SRI but wound up selecting SRI. Neither has moved much since but maybe a change in ponies will be lucky. Here's the weekly chart. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MIK&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p68006322279

What's interesting to me is .... I spent less time selecting that symbol than I ever had with any ... my computer time is very minimal ... dividing my time between a desk top & a laptop; not much time with either. PURE LUCK. I just looked at some skimpy charts on BigCharts.

It seems I've overbooked myself for Friday and I'm not sure when I'll get the results posted. If everything works out I will have about an hour between events but if I don't get the results at that time it could be really late.

Clark, a quick question for this Friday .... "Is it too late to change my long to a short".....LOL.
You'all, look at a candlestick chart of PLSE. I think Tuesday's chart has been a reversal indicator for a long time. Yep, it topped big time.
What does benchmark look like with a collar of roses ..........!!

Uncle, the real reason Clark can't post the final numbers is because my horse won't cross the finish line until late Sunday afternoon......& the real difference between a rocket ship & a glue factory is only 4 days ......LOL.

kadee72 rallied down the stretch to win going away. The benchmark was second and ModE93 is third.

kadee applied the whip rounding the 3/4 pole and her horse responded full speed and she bolted to lead the race ahead of the BenchMark which had ideas for the Win. I was lucky just to hold on to Show. Congratulations to kadee!
