Go long this week, but it is a long shot.

[Value Buy]

I remember someone follows Cincinnati Bell here.
They made a couple of corporate aquisitions lately and some analysts like them, some hate them. Wonder what your thoughts are on this if you are still watching the stock. Thanks.

[Value Buy]

Did I make it on time?
I am on the east coast this morning, and turned on the television just now to get the market open, and surprise!

    The market has been open an hour...........
I forgot about the time change, and my pick time says about an hour ago......

[clarkrl2]

Value Buy, I remember I picked this stock for the POTW game a while back. I never actually bought the stock although many of the picks I make I either own or have a limit buy order for the stock. The screen I use is designed to seek out stocks that have had a recent upward estimate revision and beat earnings estimates for the most recent quarter. There is also a technical analysis section built in the screen that uses the 13-wk SMA and weekly MACD where the price has either crossed above the 13-week SMA or the MACD has turned bullish in the previous five days(this screening element is not perfect). This creates a green elder bar on the chart. It's funny you mentioned this stock because it was the number nine choice out of fifty-seven returns. Here is the chart. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=CBB&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p04555537917

The fundamentals do not look very good to me other than they seem to be improving and estimates have been too low. I think it looks OK for a short term trade. The estimate were increased for 2017 from .08 to .24 but this was more than 30 days ago. For 2018 the estimates have went from .12 ninety days ago to .24 sixty days ago to .28 thirty days ago and back down to .26 seven days ago. www.zacks.com/stock/quote/CBB/detailed-estimates With a 71.5 forward PE I think there are probably better swing trades available.

I didn't really search for a new stock this week because I am content with what I have. BGFV reports this week and I may look to sell it or RCKY which are both retailers. Whenever AMZN flexes its muscles retailers are getting clobbered.

I hope this explanation gives you an idea of what I am doing. 

[clarkrl2]

Value Buy, I checked about two minutes after the market open and your pick was already in so think your good on time.

[architecto25]

Kadee missed the opening gate time this week; perhaps she's at a horse show ..... selecting one of

those fast horses she's usually entered......

At least someone has a chance to shine this week!

Yes, I missed the opening gate and just now realized it. Sorry guys. I was in a lot of pain yesterday and not much else mattered other than not causing my arm/shoulder to hurt. I'm getting an appointment with an orthopedic Dr. soon I hope. Had to go through my PC for a referral and darn this thing hurts! It's a bit better today. It may be just a severely pulled muscle or tendon or something like that, but I want an more expert opinion than my PC! And the script he wrote me for pain....I'm allergic, broke out it hives from ONE pill then today he sends another script for one I can't take either. So I'm living on ibuprofen and pain patches.

I'll try to do better next week.  And BTW, the pain patches work better than any of the rubs & I've tried almost all of the rubs!

[clarkrl2]

kadee72 I hope you get to feeling better soon.

[ModE98]

kadee, we wiil miss you this week!  Hope you can find comforting relief ASAP. 

[kadee79]

Thank you guys! Keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't do anything today to bring back the really bad pain like yesterday!

Ok guys, why are all (?) of your picks going down when the market set a new record today?

And how soon do ya'al think it will come tumbling down?

[Value Buy]

LOL, My pick closed down 2.14% on Monday, and has closed at the same price for the last two days.
I do not think I have ever had a stock not move off the closing price for two days.

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 holds on to the lead with one day to go. architecto25 is second and Value Buy moves up to make it a three horse race for this week's cup. Those are the only players beating the benchmark.

CONGRATULATIONS to achitecto for the Win, uncle for Place and tyfighter for Show this week!

[architecto25]

Sometimes I view the final numbers as a "golf game".....

This week: Uncle with a 7 (1,2,1,1,2)

I only got an 8 (2,1,2,2,1)

I keep these during the week on a dry marker board.

.....by this method, Uncle got the trophy ........LOL

     I wonder if he even thought about our contest during

     his cruise .......

Arch.

[kadee79]

Congrats to Arch, Uncle & Ty! I'll try to remember this week.
