Well, this week it's back to China. Will go with YONG (long). Fertilizer producer. Had a downdraft recently, so will take a long shot on a rebound in fortune. May the Yin and Yang portend a resurrection.

[kadee79]

I feel like going wild this week...NUGT, long

Gold stocks.

[ModE98]

Ah so, kadee, you're going to be our "Golden Girl" for this week.

[blackliver]

GALE long

[2kids10horses]

TQQQ, long.

I must be insane. Picking the same horse, expecting a different result.

Short DOW (The Dow Chemical Company - Chemicals)

It's hard for me to be bullish when the jobs reports keep coming in so poorly. Basic materials have been in a downtrend. This stock closed(30.32) just below the 200-day SMA(30.34). I believe it may retest the May lows at about 29.

I am going back to my battery company, XIDE, long. Maybe I will ge the charge I need.

Short PSX (Phillips 66 spin-off) because I think it flew too high too fast after the dividend announcement.

If anyone ever wants one of their underperforming stocks to get a bump, just let me know and I'll short it in this game. You're welcome in advance.

[kadee79]

Ok, just give me a boost!

[architecto25]

blackliver's GALE passed us all as if we were standing still. When did Jet Assist become legal in a horse race ....... LOL


added note (1:45pm.,Tex.time).
"Now uncle has added jato to SOLX"..... I guess rovo should hire some of those airport screeners to ck. these horses at the gate.

Looks like a gale is blowing blackliver to new heights. Nice move today. Now if the wind only keeps up.......

[2kids10horses]

What's amazing is TQQQ was up a lot without AAPL's help.

Come on, Rovo, make your purchase before earnings like usual and send AAPL flying...

[Bluerobin]

Come on Mod, we are almost there!

[ModE98]

'Ole Blue...... Horse just cannot make up his mind to run or stop in the last turn and let the pack thunder by. Figure he's undervalued and unappreciated, so about anything can happen tomorrow and Friday's dash for the roses. I'm all for staying out of the minus figures.... so have high hopes for a good market to close the week.

[kadee79]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to ride this horse! Oh well, such is life!

[ModE98]

Dratted horse, he decided to just trot in, apparently getting lazy. Does not look any good for the home stretch tomorrow. 'Ole Blue tossed him some carrots.
