long PSQ (ProShares short QQQ etf)
Same pick as last week. There are reports coming out throughout the week that could potentially move the markets. ISM, ADP, continuing claims, and the jobs report for April are all scheduled for this week. Right now my bias is bearish.

Unc, I was gonna go with them too. They just announced a 2 for 1 stock split. That should be good for a few points. I will go with DOW, Dow Chemical, long. They have had a recent slide, but seem to be recovering.

achitecto.... Seems you were victimized by a horse that was too hot out of the gate. It has happened to me a few times previously. Best to have a sluggish move to start and build up speed as the race goes on.  Oh well, a short week in which most anything can happen.  |

Odds are you may be able to close next to last. ;D It's appears it is going to be between you and VB. It's only worth the risk of a $2 wager. |
