What to do.. hmm? Oh well, might as well stick with the China experiment to be consistent, so will go with TPI (Long) this week. (Tianyin Pharmaceuticals).  EDIT: Please, important, no wild shot out of the gate... Stay calm, cool and steady as the race progresses. Veiled threat... get out of hand and it's the glue factory for you  |

SDOW long
My moving average indicators still all point down. Reckon I'll go for the Dow stocks 3x negative with SDOW. I figure a lot of the money most likely to bolt and run is probably concentrated in the familiar big name stocks.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

yclept,
I agree with your analysis that the mid to long term prognosis is down, but my short term play is up. (This might change Monday night!)
But, I gotta go with my current signal,
Long TQQQ.

HGG long (hhgregg - electronic stores)
If the lastest rally was short covering I think it may last a while longer. This is a stock which I own that has a short interest ration of nearly 25. Most of the price ratios look good but the Quick Ratio is way too low at .27.

SYMX (Synthesis Energy Systems) (Long)
closed Friday at $1.97
I picked this one twice before. 15 Apr.,came in 3rd; then on 22 July, only in 10th
place out of 13 entries that week. I'm lazy tonight; don't feel like researching others.
And the chart appears to be turning up. Rovo will let you know in 5 days if my pick
has any validity this time.

I agree with SlowbutSure.. Rovo, with all the great coordination you've done with this contest... just post it ( & you could use mountain time)... it's not even 8:30am there in Denver yet. & if you win this week, you could just waive the receipt of the gold trophy....!!! And if you don't make the moutain time, then use Pacific time......!!!
How about sticking an asterisk by the symbol... ?? No problema.!!

OK. I'll revise the opening spread sheet to add my AAPL. However, if anyone complains I'll just sit out this week in order to be absolutely fair.

SBS .... you may turn out to be correct. This is a crazy, bouncy, market. It would be better to be a "push" than a "crash". Let's hope when we get to Friday we are still in the ballpark on our bets.  |
