ALEX (Long) (Alexander & Baldwin,Inc.) (nyse)
closed Friday at $35.22. Huge volume (almost 2 mil.shares); a lot more
than normal. P&F, dbl.top breakout on 6 Feb.2013
Shipping,Property management,food products.
Fleet of 17 ships. Located in Honolulu, Hawaii
Founded in 1882.
If this huge vol. on Friday is a "blow off top", then I should
have shorted it.
I'm getting this pick in; so I'll have one in; I'm having computer
signal problems.

Long ALL (Allstate Corp. - Insurance)
They beat estimates in the most recent quarter and have had recent upward revisions in estimates.
This most recent rally started in mid-November and has moved forward with little pause. It's showing signs of slowing but I'll remain bullish for this week.

Second place wasn't too bad last week. I'm sticking with URTY. (Tempted to trade horses with TQQQ. TQQQ is heavily fed AAPLs. If the AAPLs are doing well, the horse runs well. If not, he gets pretty to his stomach. Maybe the AAPLs will be riper next week...)
Long URTY.

ModE89 jumps out to the early lead. Kadee66 is second and clarkrl2 third. I've been having internet connection problems this evening so you may want to double check your prices.

Thanks Mod. Like I said, this one is new to me....but with the price of gas predicted to increase it seemed like a good time to watch it & see how it does. And our gas has certainly gone up!!!!!!!!!  |

Poor TPI. today's price action forecasting a "blah" quarterly report tomorrow morning. Horse pulled up and is letting others pass. Must be another "also ran" for the week.  |

Looks like this one might be a good one for in RL. Have to think about it some before I jump in and do a bit more research though.  |

Was riding a "dead horse" with TPI ...  What a dismal report and outlooki.... down we go and locked up last place for sure this week. China's "affordable health care" pricing policies squeeze pharmaceuticals to provide grossly poor net on any generics produced. In a year, perhaps price of stock may rise $0.20 IF distribution business picks up and the new plants kick in with more efficient production. |
