[ModE98]

Will saddle up DX (Long) - Dynex Capital Inc. for this week. Have an eerie feeling the shorts may still be in control, as the trend may likely continue. Will it be another "June Swoon" as the month plays out?

[Trongersoll]

I'm going CARZ long. This is an Automobile ETF. after the beating it took this week I can hope next week will be better. I mean, i'd expect a car to do good in a horse race. ummm. can i get some Premium over here?

[uncle23]

.....

DF.......long


Dean Foods.......setting 52 week highs

[blackliver]

TMF long

[clarkrl2]

Long PSQ (ProShares short QQQ)

A lot of economic data came out last week. Most of the data was bad and also worse than the economists expectations.

On the plus side for QQQ the 14 period RSI on the daily chart is about to indicate an oversold condition and the QQQ is only about 1.1% above the 200-day SMA.

When I compare the minuses with the pluses I think there is a chance for a rally this week but it will be short lived without some better economic data.

CLX - (L)

Bleach. who doesn't have a use for it? knowing my luck though I will get bleached by it this week.

[kadee79]

XOXO, long

formerly known as the Knot....having to do with brides/weddings.

[architecto25]

AOIFF (Africa Oil Corporation) (Long)

This is the same stock I picked last week with terrible results. I'm thinking that last week was
just a good correction (profit taking period), and the strong uptrend might continue.
But I could be totally wrong;.....and end up on the bottom rung again..
Check back on this board Friday, Rovo will post how I did....

[Bluerobin]

DOW, Long. I am sticking with last week's pick. If I was smart, I would short that social medial play.

[rovo]

I'm going to try a short play on the semiconductor industry. Well, short and a multiple, as in -300%.

rovo Long SOXS

The investment seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the inverse (or opposite) of the performance of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index. The fund normally creates short positions by investing at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged and unleveraged exposure to the index. It invests the remainder of its assets in short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The fund does not invest in equity securities. It is non-diversified.

[rovo]

Selections and opening prices are following. CARZ has not traded yet so I'll catch it tonight when I do the day's results.

I must have a dead battery, i can't seem to get started.

[rovo]

architecto25 retains the lead but ModE is making an early sprint. CARZ traded today so Trong is in the game.

Hmmm.... major reversal of fortune over Monday. High dividend REITs for the most part did quite well.

[architecto25]

What a surprise...I just clicked on here... How could I be in 1st with this stocks dismal performance.

[Bluerobin]

OMG! Mod and I near the top. This can't last. <<< feeds magic oats to Arch's horse>>>

[Trongersoll]

man talk about being late out of the gate.

Suddenly we have a real horse race taking place. ;D

Wow, this one is close (for now), but we have one more pole to pass, and then it is on to the final lap down to the wire. Have a sneaky feeling it may come down to "nose" measurement at the last second.

Good luck, don't break a leg rounding the last turn or in the dash to the wire Friday.

i'm just happy to be above the benchmark
