MNST long

Monster has been oversold after the downgrade from the conviction buy list and the deaths from drinking it thing and is due for a major bounce.

Or not...

[uncle23]

......


ONVO.....long

[ModE98]

The China man will trot out noble steed, TPI (long), Tianyin Pharmaceuticals for this week's race.

Maybe it will rise a few pennies and keep on the + side.

[2kids10horses]

It's probably too late for this horse, but I'll saddle him up this week: SQQQ the 3x short qqq ETF.

Long SQQQ.

[Deleted]

CMI - (L)

[kadee79]

CAT, long

[tyfighter3]

NOG long

[clarkrl2]

Long RIMM (Research In Motion - Communications Equipment)

I'm getting away from my typical value picks to make an earnings momentum play. They had an earnings upside surprise last quarter and the consensus estimates were recently raised for next quarter and next year. I do not like this company long term but think short term there may be some more analyst estimates raised to the upside over the next few weeks. This is a very high risk pick and I do not own shares of RIMM.

[Bluerobin]

I am gonna stick with STEI, long for this week. Steward Enterprises the McD's of the funeral industry. If I don't check in for a few days, blame Sandy.

[uncle23]

...

Blue, I heared its going to be a Frankenstorm....take care.......

[blackliver]

HUN long

[Value Buy]

Value click, VCLK
Short it.

Funny thing, in real life I never short a stock, but in this game I take the opportunity.
I guess, it's because I am unable to closely follow falling knives that might violate the law of physics and start rising.....

[ModE98]

VB, it's good practice , just in case one of these days you might do it.

[architecto25]

SIMG (Silicon Image Inc.; nasdaq) (Long)

Closed Friday at $4.60; 52 wk. hi/lo $6.86/$3.53
Chart looks good. Due to report 3rd.qtr.fiscal 2012 earnings after

AN INSOMNIA POST: 4 am 10/31/2012

I'LL STAY WITH SIMG AS MY PICK THIS WEEK.

[Ombud]

I think I want to short wtw. It's got long term problems adapting to our changing society.

[Value Buy]

Dang.
Look's like we have a short trading week
Wonder if they open tomorrow?

[clarkrl2]

In case anyone is wondering, I will follow rules 1 and 2 so anyone wishing to make changes can do so up until the opening bell whenever that may be.

[ModE98]

If this turns out as bad (or worse) than they are predicting, it may be Wednesday. If not a bad, perhaps Tuesday.
It's likely a bad week up that way, the storm and then the aftermath, which could be a week or so.

Good luck to all in the area.

[architecto25]

My horse (SIMG), said he enjoyed the first 2 days being lazy; that he'd just walk the rest of the week.

[clarkrl2]

After a delayed start this week, Mod# has broke out of the gates with a short lead over clarkrl2 and Ombud. Please check your entries and opening prices.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

[ModE98]

Hardly believe it ... luck prevails for one day... it will not last. Tomorrow, TPI falls back to the pack.

[Bluerobin]

Something is wrong if I am beating Bench!!!

I would have checked in earlier, but had some family drama. Looks like DB will be ok.

[ModE98]

Now I know, should have stuck with CGA. Seems TPI is just a lazy old nag and does not know what a trot or gallop may be. Yesterday was a fluke, only because the Dow sold off and US stocks had a rought day.

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 races out to a big lead. Disinfranchised Ivestor moves ahead of Ombud in a close battle for second.

Where'd I put those oats???

[ModE98]

Must have lost all turf traction.... So much for this week.... next week may be tricky. We'll see how things shape up on Wednesday....

Duh, one of those days again, double post. Well, that happens to advanced age senior citizens. Such is life when one can no longer count and keep hitting the post button.

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 wins by six lengths. Ombud takes second over a hard charging blackliver in third.
