After some reflection, will change my mind, and stay in the U.S. this week. Will go with BBBY (Long) and perhaps look for some upward movement. It appears at a reasonable low price currently, and Bed, Bath & Beyond is still a leader in spite of the slump in price over the last 8 months.... so just maybe a long term recovery may be possible.  Maybe this may be the week for a little bounce.

Torn between

Do not know whether to go long or short on either one.
Right now, I will go long on Monster Beverage

Long AHL (Aspen Insurance Holding Ltd.- Insurance)
Same pick as last week for the same reasons. They beat earnings estimate last quarter and have had recent upward earnings revisions. The RSI is indicating it is a little overbought but it held up well last week in a tough market.

Hey gang, Hopefully I will be playing next week. Wednesday, I went to have my kidney stones blasted, and before they started, I had a Widowmaker Heart Attack, and collected stent #6. More info in Earth Muffin's if anyone is interested.

Ole' Blue......Hope you are up and about and in much better shape soon. It's scary, just take it easy and follow recovery technicians directions to build back some strength and stamina. Since you have been through it before, you know the drill. Know it well.

From the looks of things near the close, guess I may qualify for Booby Prize in stock picking. Ugh. Argh.  Oh well, could be worse. Four more days to go though. Should have gone SHORT!!!  Should have checked MSN's Stock Scouter ....BBBY " ConShares are being heavily sold by financial institutions. Neutral for a large company like BBBY Two or more executives, board directors or major shareholders - including one high-level executive - sold a large number of shares recently. Extremely negative." |

Good grief, what a putrid day! Looks like the Daytona crack up... derbis all over the track. (And thought I was having a bad day -- wrong).  |

Surely this is the day I get to take over last place.  BBBY is way down again. Shot off to a nice jump and then collapsed on the track.  Hope you are much better today 'Ole Blue. |

Finally, someone made the "plus" side. Hope you can keep it up two more days, kadee.  I'm beginning to wonder just where this market is going. Fiscal cliff - can much of it be avoided with a last minute compromise or are the parties too far apart? Only two days to go, so not long to wait and wonder.  Yes, the pot is really simmering. |

Folks could "Prep" and Hedge for Friday - By spending less than $25. All you need to buy is tube of Preparation H & a Cheap Bottle of Champangne. If things go horribly south - you have the cure for the sore ****, you got by being bent over by the Clowns in Washington and the 'Pros". If things are "Saved" - You have the means to Toast and Party the "Never ending acension".. and yeah. am well aware that I am  with this commentary. |
