Long PSQ (ProShares short QQQ)

This is the week for the monthly jobs report.

[Bluerobin]

I am going long with TWO, Two Harbor Investment Corp. They invest in distressed real estate. It is more of a hunch than a solid pick, although several analysts like it. Pays an absurd dividend too.

[2kids10horses]

long TQQQ.

[rovo]

I'm going long with Apple as we approach the Q2 earnings report, expected the week of July 16. This stock has been flat for over a month and is ready for a breakout.

rovo Long AAPL

[architecto25]

First count: there will be 13 horses in this race (counting QQQ); but rovo's number is the one that's official.... all horses stay in the barn on Wednesday.... right ?

A quick look: 8 opened UP; 4 opened down; one flat.
The horses are running ( all legal .... are horses included in Obamacare....? Let's vote some into Congress in Nov., o.k.?

[rovo]

Please check your selection and opening price for accuracy.
