Had a good run, is it time for a little rest?  Then again. may still have some momentum.

Long PERY (Perry Ellis - Textiles)

From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. I looked at more than 30 stocks this weekend and couldn't find anything else so the blue elder bar and MACD was good enough to try this for another week. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=PERY&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p20647495749

OZRK, Bank of the Ozarks.
Year to date chart looks like it might have formed a head and shoulders, and might break out.
I am not a chartist at heart so I am taking a leap on this.
Since national banks are hot right now, I am hoping for some coat tail upward swing this week.
OZRK, Long

Well, huge spikes like this stock (HMNY) is having soon develops into some

severe profit taking. I very well could be in the basement by Friday.

But in the interim, I'm going to enjoy the race.

Congrats on the golf Arch!  That sounds like what I used to do, highest score...or the most lost balls!
