KTCC (Keytronic Corp.) (Long)
Closed Friday at 11.38
I may change my horse before gate time tomorrow; but I wanted to get
a choice in.. (I'm wireless; sometimes no signal; & we have lightning in
the distance)... so, Rovo, give this horse a starting gate, o.k.?

YONG, you stupid old nag, never learn, do you? NEVER jump from the gate and then fall back and look like Spark Plug from the Barney Goodle comic strip. Stunts like this will get you to the glue factory for sure.  |

My horse (KTCC) turned his frothy head around (so SWFT wouldn't hear him), and whispered to me: "I certainly hope that collar of roses doesn't stick me too bad"..... I immediately told him: " Hey, you've got your days mixed up; today is only Tuesday..... "....  |

Hey, I'm doing a LOT better on the long term game!
Here is just a crap shoot! Some weeks are good picks & some weeks are bad. You know horses have feelings too! So if they are feeling "off"...forget them really running!
In the long term game, I made my % & got out of it...here you can't do that.

clarkrl2, must be frustrating to be a losing short in a "stort" down week. Like kadee said, it's just a crap shoot. At least, a few longs seem to be doing reasonably well and over the Benchmark.... two days to go though. |

I just clicked on to this thread; gave me a small smile...... which I needed badly. This was probably the worse day on the market for me in a very long time..... I don't think I had a stock that didn't "print red" today.... surely tomorrow will be a better day...!!!!!
Added blurb:
for years, I've been keeping these technical indicators:
Advances vs. Declines
Up Vol. vs. Down Vol.
52 wk. highs vs. 52 wk. lows.
I keep these for the NYSE & the Nasdaq.
......... just 12 simple numbers; for my own system "viewing"
& today, it was zero out of 6.....anyway, very depressing.
