DDD..............long

[Deleted]

OXY - (L)

[ModE98]

Oh why change? A few days rest and CGA should be ready to run again. So CGA (long). China Green Agriculture.

[kadee79]

Think I'll go back with
CLNE, long....natural gas. Might do some good with cold weather coming??? Who knows?

[blackliver]

GALE long

[Value Buy]

Cannot make up my mind between Google and Blackrock.
Both report this week.
Internet or investment? Which area willl be strong in the market this week?
Google it is.
GOOG, long.

[Ombud]

I'm going back to those I already hold in my portfolio as I think the market has more downside (& watching 2 games today so not sure my reasoning will be better after that ). Go 49ers!

Despite buying a put in TWO, I'm actual long in that REIT

[2kids10horses]

I think the selling of AAPL is over done. Which means that I think the NASDAQ might rebound. Which means I'll play TQQQ.

Long TQQQ the triple long ETF.

[clarkrl2]

Long GME (GameStop Corp. - Specialty Retail)

The stock is selling for about bookvalue. The dividend yield is 4.39%.

[tyfighter3]

KOG long.

[Bluerobin]

I was gonna take the week off, but figured I'd go with one of Rovo's favs. AAPL, long. It's due to rebound.
Speaking of Rovo, any word?

[architecto25]

REED (Reeds, Inc.) (Long)

closed Friday at $7.33
Headquartered in Los Angeles,CA.
55 employees
It's had a nice move in 2012; but It's nothing really very
exciting. I almost missed the starting gate, again.
Company sells natural soda, fruit juices, fruit drinks.

[ModE98]

YONG CEO made a private premium buyout offer and it is on a run. Believe CGA will receive some fallout from Yong and perhaps have a good day too. So far, so good.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 and ModE89 are in an early battle for the lead with big first day gains. kadee66 also had a good gain in third place.

o.k.,.....Mod......the horse race is on.... I know I have a good horse; I spent about 5 minutes this morning picking him. And I'll be on a trip the last 2 days of this week...maybe on line; maybe not ?

& Clark, Scottrade agrees with all your opening prices...Good Start (as always)

[2kids10horses]

Someone asked about Rovo. He has his own investment board going.

Right now, he's having to serve jury duty on a murder trial. Yuck. It's supposed to last another month. Yuck.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 is still leading and now has a double digit gain for the two days. uncle23 has moved into second and 2kids10horses is now third. In a rare occurance all players have a positive return at today's close.

OMG!!! It's not a race, it is a stampede!!

[Value Buy]

I am shocked everyone is in the green so far!
Of course .37% is not exactly a winner........

[clarkrl2]

blackliver moves from the middle of the pack to take the lead from architecto25. uncle23 is in third by a narrow margin over 2kids10horses.

[kadee79]

And we are still ALL on the plus side!

Is Blue spreading around all those magic oats??

[ModE98]

Careful, don't wake up 'Ole Blue, he might decide to give us carrots and slow us down.

[architecto25]

Since I'm out of town next 2 days, Mod has offered to "watch" my horse. & I might even be on line; I bought a laptop, last Wed., all I have to do is learn how to use it.

[Bluerobin]

Who stole my bag of magic oats?

[ModE98]

T'was not I .... don't see magic oats anywhere. There's loco weed growing in the paddock area...be careful your horse doesn't chew on it!

[Value Buy]

Oh Oh

[clarkrl2]

architecto.... looking after your horse as you requested, had him groomed overnight and fed oats with a dash of 5-Hour Energy.

My horse CGA, moved up, but do not expect him to hang on.

VB had some bad publicity early in the day and GOOG sold off, probably oversold.

[Bluerobin]

Drats! I just need those magic oats..................where are they?
