Hmmmm (flipping coin).... will trot out TPI (long) for this week. Tianyin Phama (China).
Should be reporting soon, so if the news is good, he will make a run.... if bad, will fall on this azz out on the track.
At least the company is still in business making pharmacueticals.... but do they have any new contracts, or just drifting along?

[kadee79]

Let's try XOXO, long again! Folks should be thinking about getting married this spring/early summer so wedding accessories should be on the rise.

Unless the economy has gals looking to save money, then I don't have a chance!

[blackliver]

MDCO Medicines Co. India pharma. Short. Why? Because thee chicken bones tell me so mun.

[beenherebefore]

Ok, just for the heck of it, I'm going with CZR ahead of earnings, long. This is really roulette, LOL!

Thanks!

[burger]

Instead of a horse, I'm going to take a big green tractor. DE - Long.

[clarkrl2]

Long DDIC (DDI Corp. - Printed Circuit Boards)

This is a stock I have owned shares of since Jul of last year. My entry price was $9/sh and had I been more patient I would have gotten a much better price. The stock however appears to be trending up and appears to have just broken above a level of resistence which I am hoping will act as support this week.

Fundamentally they have a 4.88% yield and a low peg at .71. They have $1.40 cash per share which is high for a stock priced a $9.84 per share. They report earnings after the market on Feb. 15.

[Bluerobin]

I am gonna stick with the same horse, FTR, short. Continuing it's way to the basement.

[uncle23]

....


H..........Hyatt Hotels..........long


...they have rooms..

[bimetalaupt]

I am also going to keep to BGZ---- Long... That is a short to the market..x3..

Greek riots are not helping the value of the country or their bonds... Bad News for the EURO!!\

Just a thought,

Mod, what happened? You are in the middle!!!!

[ModE98]

kadee.... well, at least TPI stayed even. Let's just say. "It could have been worse."

Unless there is some good news soon, expect to see ther bottom rung by the close on Friday. The China small caps can become "slippery", and then down, down, down they go.

[2kids10horses]

This article explains URTY's strong run a couple weeks ago. Maybe he'll start nibbling on some oats and sprout wings again!

[ModE98]

kadee ... TPI slipping back, slipping. slipping, everyone look out below!

[rovo]

Day 2 and clarkrl2 is holding off kadee66 and increasing his lead ever so slightly. Meanwhile, blackliver has charged up into third place.

Mod, you didn't just slip.....you took a dive!

I'm still hanging on by my fingernails!

[ModE98]

kadee.... See what Chinese small caps can do .... try to climb a greasy pole, but cannot make progress, slip further. TPI should keep sliding.

[beenherebefore]

Darn, I should have shorted it, played the red instead of the black......

[burger]

My tractor is just building up speed. Give me a couple days until earnings come out and then try to stop the big green machine!

[ModE98]

bhb........... TPI is going to definitly fade badly in the stretch.... CZR will move up, this was just one of thosde days. It happens!

[beenherebefore]

From your lips to God's ear, MOD!
LOL!

clarkrl2 retains the lead but blackliver and Bimetal are closing the gap.
