RAD (long) Rite Aid Corp.
closed Fri. at $3.03. I own a few shares; was going to sell
Friday, but the stock finally made a 52 wk. high of $3.08. So, I'm
watching it this week. Hopefully, it's turning a little bullish.
Surely, I can't do worse than I did last week.

Value Buy gets the hole shot and already has a double digit return. Disinfranchised Investor is second and clarkrl2 is third. With the exception of Value Buy the field is still tightly bunched with less than 2% separating 2nd and last. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | Value Buy | L | LDK | $1.47 | $1.64 | 11.56% | | D.

Now let's see if LDK can not bleed it all back the rest of the week, or was it a one day wonder?

clarkrl2 has taken a short lead. Disinfranchised Investor is second with ModE90 in third.

The tone of the markets still looks "bearish", but can we find a short rally for a day before the week's close The last day or two are quite moot and "if"-ish  . Good luck, all.  |

Well, if the opening trend keeps up, my STJ is falling back in the pack. The good news is out and things settling back to normal. Darn horse changed course with the market late this morning and has found some new spark  What a turn of events  Glad to see a little rally today, but can it hold through Friday or will the markets do another turn later near Friday's close . What a conundrum  |

Ombud, I'm not real sure what you're asking but today is Friday and the markets are open. The game typically goes from Monday through Friday with exceptions coming when there is a US market holiday.
