Going far out on a limb with OPK (Long). Likely the branch will break and down will come OPK to close low on the totem pole. Oh well, have to ride long shots once in a while.

BHTG (long) BioHiTech Global Inc. This stock closed Friday at $7.50 per share. 3 wks. ago (7/21/17). It closed at $3.26 Interesting chart. A few weeks ago, I either rec'd. an email or newsletter about this stock. Looked very interesting; but thought it'd be a "pump & " possibly. Never pushed the buy button .... regret that. Waiting for a good dip maybe. Since Clark does not charge a fee for entering this horse, he'll be maybe running the next 5 days .... LOL ...... I'm not "tauting" this stock, at this time. Arch. Should have added this: Company engages in the development, marketing, & sales of systems for disposing of biodegradable waste. Founded: 3/20/2013. Headquartered in Chestnut Ridge, NY. 25 employees. One blurb said New York, NY. |

Oooo, kadee, that limb is really broken. I hope somebody called the firehouse to bring a net. Had a feeling Long was a bad call.  |

architecto25 is so far out front he is in a different time zone. uncle23 also has a double digit gain and Value Buy has a whisker in front of the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | architecto25 | L | BHTG | $7.75 | $9.29 | 19.87% | | uncle.23 | L | DRYS | $3.19 | $3.53 | 10.66% | | Value Buy | L | NI | $26.51 | $26.66 | 0.57% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $143.23 | $144.03 | 0.56% | | kadee72 | L | VUZI | $6.25 | $6.25 | 0.00% | | clarkrl2 | L | AMCX | $62.04 | $60.98 | -1.71% | | Mod E | L | OPK | $6.34 | $6.09 | -3.94% |

Should have followed my original instinct to Short OPK, but oh no, hoped something may be brewing (like what the H was I thinking?). Would have been a great Short (at least to date). Still retreating this morning.   . Well, nexi year should bring positive results (hopefully).  |

Sorry architecto25. Looks like I jinxed you with the early call. My bad. Looks like we shake it up today. Wonder if it is over the Trump bashing on CNBC this week. Instead of discussing stocks and the markets, even CNBC has gone ballistic in their reporting. I now call them MSNBC the 2nd...... I have been forced to watch Bloomberg and they are so dry to listen to, I fall asleep  |

OMG, architecto, what a nasty spill! Mt horse was eating a banana enjoying being last and left the peel on the track yesterday. Sorry! Going to change his feed for Thursday....slip in s little "weed" with his oats and see if he picks up a little pep. Got to be careful with the formula....too much and he may pull over and go to sleep. |

Wow Arch! I sure hope your horse didn't die from that fall or break a leg where you have to put him down!  Mod, shame on you...leaving banana peels laying around!  |

Mod, re-read my post #5 when I first selected this horse. The stock had more than doubled in the previous 3 weeks. Unusual, huh? And I even mentioned a possible "pump & ". Another 5 good days would be unusual. A correction really happened today; certainly worse than I anticipated .... And many years ago, I decided weekly charts are much more dependable than daily charts ..... hence I created and still use my "SOFT4" graphs... "Strength of Trend/ 4 weeks mov. avg." Haven't studied it yet ..... over the next few weeks, I'll be very curious just what the weekly trend does. I'll just bet some traders have some happy smiles from this stock during the last few weeks. None of us will ever know..... Arch.
Kadee, just read your post above this one.... NOPE, he's still alive .... and he told me: "It's not over, til it's totally over..... LOL" I assume he means: "the race is still ON " |

Value Buy, I just now clicked onto the market; first time today...... Markets are CRAZY, huh?..... .... at 10:30am (Thur.), 8/17/17 (Tex.time) BHTG trading at $7.75 ...... that's the Monday opening price........ Your guess is as good as mine ............. LOL. I don't own the stock; however, I did place a buy order yesterday (very very few shares).... near the low. It did not fill. Remember, I'm a chartist. & my tip to anyone playing the market: "Buy Low; Sell High" ............. LOL |

Value Buy maintains the lead but with prices bouncing like a kangaroo on a trampoline the scoreboard may change substantially by tomorrows close. uncle23 followed by kadee72 make it three wide exiting the turn. Those are the only players beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | Value Buy | L | NI | $26.51 | $26.69 | 0.68% | | uncle.23 | L | DRYS | $3.19 | $3.20 | 0.31% | | kadee72 | L | VUZI | $6.25 | $6.25 | 0.00% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $143.23 | $141.33 | -1.33% | | architecto25 | L | BHTG | $7.75 | $7.60 | -1.94% | | clarkrl2 | L | AMCX | $62.04 | $60.41 | -2.63% | | Mod E | L | OPK | $6.34 | $5.88 | -7.26% |

I have a 'watch list' on MSN, the only thing in green at the close today was gold & a tiny penny stock!...oh & uranium! What is up with MSN? On my money page at the top they have about 12 stocks shown that are listed as so-called movers. One is BIGG. It trades on the penny sheet at $.0005 a share and has total stock value of something like $16,000  I just wish someone would spend that much to kill the stock off! |

NI pays their dividend today, so it opens lower on the opening. Based on market queasiness, not sure who looks good to make a move today.
