[ModE98]

Good grief... what to do?

Oh well, will saddle up old CGA (long). China Green Agriculture.

[uncle23]

.....


REGN................long





congrats kadee !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frankq]

Hmmm.....short week but I'll go with TNH. Long. Terra Nitrogen.

[Deleted]

CAT - (L)

[blackliver]

BAC long

[kadee79]

I'm going out on a limb this week. With Walmart's labor problems going to be a focus of how well their business does this week....

WMT, short

[clarkrl2]

Long MOH (Mohlina Healthcare Inc. - Healthcare Plans)

This will be the third week for this pick. I still think there is a good chance analysts will raise their estimates or upgrade their opinion based on last quarter's earnings beat. A caveat to this pick is there will be heavy resistance at $28/share so I think it will take a catalyst such as an upgrade or revision to break through that level.

[Value Buy]

Hnz, Heinz ketchup has shown a steadily climbing chart this year.
With the market being as shaky as it has been, maybe slow and steady is the way to go this week.
HNZ, long.

[Ombud]

TWO - I don't think last week's run is sustainable

[architecto25]

NVGN (long) (Novogen Ltd.ADS) (Nasdaq)

This stock closed Friday at $6.08.
52 wk. high/low $7.15/$1.47
This company thru it's subsidiary, engages in the business of
pharmaceutical research & development.
Founded in 1992; Headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
Note: On 31 Oct. (only 2.5 wks.ago, this stock closed at
$1.50 per share.
My "tongue in cheek" prediction: This stock will be number one
this week; last; or somewhere in between..... ??

[Bluerobin]

I am sticking with FBC, long. Maybe First Bankcorp do it for me this week.

[ModE98]

I think the MM just ruined me. Opened CGA at huge jump for a few shares and then price dropped way back to normal. Dirty trick. Will have to have jets fully open all week just to try and reach that opener. Grrrrr.

I am toast ... smelly old burned toast. It's doom day.

WARNING: Last place is mine. Stay far away!!!! GCA has gone toxic on the market.

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE.... one dirty finkrat.

[architecto25]

MOD,..........perhaps you didn't see all the red ink they had to use to post my horse's performance. Most of the morning, I was the only entry in the red; all you other guys were positive.....going to be a strange week, I think.

[ModE98]

Architecto, then we may the only ones in negative territory today. Still think I may be a long way below by the time the day's results are posted this evening. The idiot MM opened CGA at 3.55 and it dove the rest of the day down to 3.10.

Might have to buy 20K in the morning to get it up to 3.20 or so. Probably need around 50K to make 3.40. Better yet, buy the company, take it private, and list it in Hong Kong. Take a minute to check my wallet.

Nope, guess not.

[clarkrl2]

bluerobin takes the early lead in a short week. clarkrl2 is second with uncle23 in third.

[Value Buy]

so many stocks showed excellent performance today, both up and down, and this is all we could do here?

[Bluerobin]

Ha ha! I found those magic oats again!!!

[ModE98]

CGA likely to drop into the $2s soon.... lower sales and earnings reported.

LAST PLACE IS MINE!!!

[ModE98]

Hey, "ole Blue, do you not feel strange up there in the rare air. Get much higher and you will need a pressure suit and oxygen mask.

Hmmm, on second thought, you could get higher on some Martinis. Don't forget the olive!

[ModE98]

Crazy stock...down to 2.74 and now breaking out over 3.20, Guess they worked it down to where it became too attractive for some. Oh well, it's wait till next year anyway. These China stocks are SO MANIPULATED.

And, of course, investors are so screwed.

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 takes over the lead from bluerobin who is now second. blacklive is third.
