My horse virtually flatlined this week, so will stick with CGA (long). China Green Agriculture should improve, possibly.

[Deleted]

CMI - (L)

[blackliver]

HUN long

[kadee79]

I think this coming week could hold some surprises...just a feeling, woman's intuition!

SODA, short

[2kids10horses]

i did well last time I brought URTY out of his stall...

Long URTY, the 3x Russell 2000 ETF.

[clarkrl2]

long SWY (Safeway Inc. - Grocery Store)
They report earnings this week. I saw where Jim Cramer of CNBC was negative on the stock this Friday. My screen likes the low PE with a dividend yield of 4.33%. Since I own some shares I hope the screen is right and Cramer is wrong.

[Value Buy]

Let's go with Yum Brands this week.
They report earnings and will either surprise or disappoint.....
YUM, long

[Ombud]

COV keeps popping up on my personalized Schwab screener, unlike some of the losers I've been in. Trying that one this week as I reorganize my portfolio and try to figure out if that's what I want

[Bluerobin]

XIDE, long. Exide Technologies, is due to make a comeback, just a question of when. Remember when everyone had and Exide Battery in their car?

[uncle23]

.......

GMED......long

[ModE98]

As usual, quick out of the gate, and slipped on the muddy track. He'd better run hard later... or

4:20 pm.... Bad boy... <whispers in horse's ear to get sttention... "Glue factory if this keeps up"> ... and looks forward to Tuesday

Sneaks over to 'Ole Blue's stall and pilfers some magic oats.

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 takes the early lead with ValueBuy a close second. Disinfrachised investor leads a four-way battle for third.

I'm challenging kadee for the basement!!

[kadee79]

You can't have it!!!!!!!!!

But the week is young, lots can happen yet!

[ModE98]

Hey, Gals, I will also challenge. My horse is staying lazy. May join the line up for the glue factory soon.

[Bluerobin]

Just keep that bottom spot warm for me!

[ModE98]

Alright, confess.... who slipped 5 Hour Energy into the noon feed? CGA has started moving on up a few notches this afternoon.

[clarkrl2]

Mod E grabs the lead on day two. kadee66 moves to second with uncle23 in third.

Ombud...keep it warm down there, I may be back shortly!

[ModE98]

This is incredable! No need to worry, it will not last. Look out below.

[Bluerobin]

Mod drank a sixer of Boost yesterday!!!

Ombud, outta my spot.!

[Ombud]

Ouch! Got hit hard this week. Plus in the 'real world,' all my trailing stops except TWO crossed. Ugh. What to do with a pot load full of cash?

But on a brighter note [if there is one in the market this week], I will definitely do better next week ~~ can't do worse as I will own the basement this week!

[ModE98]

Down one day, up the next, and down the next. Renamed my horse "yo-yo" for his great efforts.

Yes, it is now CGA, a.k.a. "Yo-Yo"

Oh well, since I'm absolutely certain to hit my Lotto number tonight, it really does not matter.

[clarkrl2]

ValueBuy has taken a huge five length lead. kadee66 has a small lead over uncle23 for second.
