Congratulations to last week's winner "architecto25". OFFICIAL

Moderators please pin the thread

[uncle23]

based on early data, clarkl2 projected architecto25 winner of last week's race....uncle conceded yesterday but as of 10:43 today modE'S TPI is threatening a surge..

[ModE98]

TPI just "flatlined" last Friday, but expected to hold in the + stocks for the week.

So on to next week here.... Since I am a glutton for punishment, will stay with TPI (long) and hope for the best. They hopefully will have some progressive news soon that could drive it up a few pennies.

[uncle23]

....

I'll stay with DDD ...... long also

[blackliver]

BAC long

[clarkrl2]

Long MOH (Molina Healthcare Inc.- Healthcare Providers and Services)

Same pick as last week. It beat estimates last quarter and expectations for next quarter and next year have been raised. Last week Jefferies upgraded the stock from underperform to hold. I think there may be other estimate increases and possibly more upgrades. On Friday the stock closed above the 200 day sma. I consider the stocks this screen produces to be high risk but have potential for high rewards short term.

ED - (L)

[tyfighter3]

KOG long.

[Ombud]

anyone else losing faith in GRPN? Although they were -29.59% last week, I think they are still searching for a lower bottom

[kadee79]

SODA, short

Now watch it go to the moon!

[clarkrl2]

Ombud I'm not sure from your post if you're picking GRPN short or just making a commentary.

[Ombud]

Groupon short. Sorry for the vagueness

[architecto25]

CRAY (Cray, Inc.) (Long)

Cray closed Friday at $13.32; and made a new 52 wk.high.
52 week high/low - $13.63/ $5.29
Cray, Inc. design,develop,manufacture, market, & service
high performance supercomputers.

[Bluerobin]

I am going long with FBC, Flagstar Bank. It has been on the move lately, and should have a little left.

[Deleted]

ED is going to get hammered this week I think.

[clarkrl2]

Ombud holds a narrow lead over architecto25. tyfighter3 and bluerobin also have gains. Edit: ModE was third after day 1.

[ModE98]

Oh my, the odd man out? It was TPI (Long) for ModE.... see reply 2, 9 Nov 1012 above.

[architecto25]

CLARK, ....I was looking for 11 entries...couldn't find Mod's....re: his post 2 (TPI).

Added note:
The man himself just posted no. 16. Problem solved.

[clarkrl2]

Ok I'll add it to todays update. I'm at work right now so I don't have access to my spreadsheet.

[ModE98]

Looks like TPI will dip today, OUCH!
As usual, the jump to start, the fade will follow. Be nice if one of these weeks, it could get going and stay that way.

[clarkrl2]

Ombud leads bluerobin and they are the only two with a gain after the second day.

[Ombud]

You know its a bad week when a stock shorted last week still leads the board

[architecto25]

Here's what my horse, CRAY, whispered to me as we were walking to the starting gate this morning:
" We horses were talking in the barn last night; and we decided that CLARK runs a good race, and keeps the track well maintained"...... He should be told.

[clarkrl2]

Ombud and bluerobin are still number one and two. kadee66 also has a positive return and is in third.

[ModE98]

Clarkrl2..... Hmmm? Kadee, Open 35.22 and closing 8 cents lower, ends up positive? How can it be?

[clarkrl2]

Kadee was short SODA so if the price is below the open she will have a positive return.

[ModE98]

Mia culpa, missed the short. Thanks.

[Bluerobin]

Ombud, outta my way!

[Ombud]

No way, blue. I picked a real loser

[clarkrl2]

kadee66 is the new leader and the only entrant with a gain. Disenfrachised Investor is second and clarkrl2 is third.
