I will try LIZ, long this week. About time to change from winter to summer makeup.

[beenherebefore]

Please put me down for Cisco, long (CSCO). I think their buy makes sense.

[uncle23]

......


JVA.........more coffee anyone... ? free re-fill

[blackliver]

OXY long

[ModE98]

Will go with UAN (Long). ( CVR Partners LP )

phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=220445&p=irol-IRHome

[tyfighter3]

NOG long.

[clarkrl2]

Short PMCS (PMC Sierra Inc. - Semiconductors)

There was a hanging man candlestick on Mar 12. I have no real life position on this stock and have no plans to initiate one.

[lovetobike]

AAPL long. With the big announcement tomorrow, I'm guessing it will go up at least one day.

[architecto25]

same as last week...... RAD (long)...

Doing this just so I'll have a pick in.... mucho computer signal problems.
No research time.... All day it's been like 5-10 minutes at a time.

[Deleted]

TAC - (L)

[Bluerobin]

FTR, Short. Frontier Communications, slowly heading into Chapter XI.

[2kids10horses]

My jockey's boots are stuck in TQQQ's stirrups! I expect that with AAPL's announcement before the bell there will be the usual opening gap up giving everyone else an advantage. We'll see how the race runs after that.

Long TQQQ! Yeehaaa!

Rovo, please re-check UNC's entry. It's JVA, not LVA. Opening # different, too.
Aren't I helpful.....when I have a computer signal..??

[rovo]

Yo Archi, I was trying to give the rest of us an opportunity to do better this week by using an incorrect stock for uncle.

Joking aside, thanks for catching the error. It should now be correct .

[ModE98]

Drat, bah humbug.... oops, darn horse got into 'Ole Blue's carrots again. Got to make sure he stays in his own stall. Sneaky old nag. ;D

Even CNIT in China would have been better.

Secret Plan: Put some magic oats in feed bag, a little strange green stuff, and a bottle of 5-hour energy mixed in. Will see if it helps tomorrow.

[rovo]

Coming out of turn one the entire field is tightly grouped with 2&10 in the lead by a head.

[Bluerobin]

2/10 Outta my way!!! Have some carrots.

[2kids10horses]

bluerobin,

I don't mind if you pass me, but it's not in your best interests for my horse to slow down or go in reverse!

[rovo]

beenherebefore takes the lead from 2&10 as bluerobin stumbles a bit.

[Bluerobin]

Foul! Foul!! 2/10's horse kicked mud in our faces and beenhere's horse bit my horse as he tried to pass!

[2kids10horses]

Oh, wait! I didn't see that you were SHORT there, bluerobin! No wonder you're trying to pass out those tainted carrots!

[kadee79]

Mine is just running in the pack!

I should have stuck with clne again this week, last time I looked it was up quite a bit.

[ModE98]

Stopping by the blacksmith tonight to get UAN some new Nike's to run on. ;D

[beenherebefore]

Wow, so THAT"S what it feels like to be winning, so far - LOL!

[2kids10horses]

Beenhere...

I would be very pleased if you were to win this week! I bought stocks for my kids college education back when they were born, and have held them ever since. My daugher is 18 and will be going off to college next fall. CSCO is one of those stocks she's owned for a while.

[beenherebefore]

2Kids, that's great! Csco has been one of those stocks that have been highly traded and somewhat manipulated but, I really do think that their recent aquisition is a good one.!

C'mon CSCO, baby needs a college education! Gitty up!

[architecto25]

Just thought I would mention to you'all what the scenic view is from the very rear of the pack:
..... "All you see is a bunch of horse's tails... ahead of you"........
