Will switch over to a China-based pharmaceutical this week...
TPI (long) > Tianyin Pharmaceutical (China).
Since I have a position here, this pick is more "wishful thinking" than anything.... anyway, it is cheap at 0.62 p/s.

Sticking with AFL [L]. Only thing that shows on my Schwab screener despite it's dismal flop on Friday.  |

architecto25 jumps out to a big lead on day one. kadee66 rides Dudley Dooright style into second and Disinfranchised Investor is third.

Out like Whirlaway and finish like an apple-cart nag.  Typical of China-based small US-listed RTO.  |

architecto25 fell back a little but was still good enough for the lead. 2kids10horses has all 12 legs of his mount moving in the same direction and is a close second. Disinfranchised Investor is third.

Im kinda confused. My screener downgraded AFL today from a 3 to a 19 percentile rating so I'm expecting a drop -- yet it's up and recovering? Goes x on 5/20 with 35c a share. Glad I've got a 10% ts

Looks like CMFO  came up with some very nice numbers this quarter. Hopefully, it is the start of a quarterly trend. Only China-based RTO of mine that is doing some price movement. Asleep at the wheel on my pick for this week. (TPI)   May break even this year and profit next, IF, the good times continue to roll.   |

architecto25 is still in the lead. 2kids10horses is still showing interest in second with Disinfranchised Investor in third. There are still five of nine beating the benchmark as we approach the stretch turn.

Hey Arch....I'm feeding my new raised veggie beds alfalfa pellets (horse feed) as a fertilizer! It comes out about equal to a 10-10-10 commercial fertilizer and also helps build the soil & feed the soil microbs (sp?). I planted 18 tomato plants that I started from seeds yesterday & 6 bell pepper plants....I also shared 5 more tomato plants & 2 peppers with my SIL. I already have 8 tomato plants that I planted over a month ago with LOTS of maters set on. We'll be having ripe, home grown maters SOON!  I think my jockey fell off and my horse is sitting down! |

Kadee when you short a stock isn't it good if the jockey falls off & the horse sits down..LOL
WOW, I'm no. 1 for 4 days. Last time I remember doing this well was the week Facebook went public and I shorted it (winning all 5 days).

Sorry, 'Ole Blue, I have this one!!  Obviously, the lesson learned for all of you, stay out of the China-based RTOs. They jump, then fall over. But, on my three, "it's never give up hope, even though the track ahead is muddy, murky, slimy, rutty and sloppy". |

Posted a new thread bc I didn't want to muddle this one titled "best book ideas" hoping for more than 'index diversify' suggestions for a 30+ with a financial brain-- primer on financial / technical analysis. Barnes & Noble has nothing. :-(
