Long PSQ (short QQQ etf)

Recent economic data has not been good. Two reports this week of interest are the consumer confidence on Tuesday and GDP Q3 estimate on Thursday. There are also other economic reports that could influence the markets. My take is recent market woes are due to worse than expected economic data. A popular belief on this board seems to be the recent volatility is due to talking heads jawboning the markets lower. Either way if reports continue to come in below expectations stock prices will continue to fall.

Probably the only folks that knows what's going on with this stock are the insiders or the
"pumpers".... maybe they won't become "dumpers" this week... LOL

The last log-in for ModE was on June 19. I too hope he is OK and is just taking a break from the boards and enjoying life. Maybe the storm in Florida has affected his ability to get on-line.

[Bluerobin]

Mod, we are rooting for you. Now hurry up and get back!

[beenherebefore]

Good luck down in Fl, Mod.

[rovo]

blackliver tales the lead from architecto25, who has moved to the rear of the pack. Positions are swapping around all over the track.

Carrots won't help me, please can someone throw me some Sodium Hydroxide? LOL!

NFG has made a decent turn around thus far, hoping it can keep it up.

[architecto25]

For you'all's (that's Texas talk) information: The next time I pick a horse for rovo's great race track; even before I put a saddle on him... he'll be asked, as I'm looking straight into those horsey eyes:
" CAN YOU RUN FAST FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY " .....LOL
