CYTK (Long) Cytokinetics Inc.
It closed Friday at $2.16. Recent trend has been bullish; maybe good

Long AFSI (AM Trust Financial Services - Property and Casualty Insurance)
They beat estimates last quarter and have had recent upward revisions in estimates. Also the price ratios look good.

Wow. 2&10, great pick (today's start confirms). Looks ominus, but there will be great quality bargains before the year is out. Gotta roll with the punches and believe in LONG TERM.

Mod,.....yes, tell me about it..!!! When I first clicked my computer on; my $2+ dollar pick
( CYTK ) was showing mucho more money.... then a little research & the news is:
" a 1:6 reverse stock split " yesterday announced by the company.
Clark, I'm not responsible for this extra posting this will require. It was news to me until a few
minutes ago.
.....added note: according to my math, CYTK's new opening number for yesterday should be
$12.60.

Disinfranchised Investor has moved into the lead. The benchmark is second and the only other positive return. uncle23 is third. architecto25 had his starting price adjusted to $2.10 from $2.08. MSN was the only site we checked that had a $2.08 open. I have always reverted to Yahoo financial historical prices for final resolution whenever sites report different opens. Also the open was adjusted to $2.10*6=12.60 for the 1:6 reverse stock split. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | D.

Disinfranchised Investor is still in the lead as we move past halfway. ModE90 is now second and the benchmark is third. I have a meeting tonight and needed to get the results posted earlier than normal but I believe the closes are correct. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | D.

Finally, I believe CGA may have bottomed. www.finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CGA (if reading the chart/stats proves correct. But we know these China based-US listed RTO's can be tricky. |

My goodness, congratulations, D.I. on a nice win. The only one to beat Benchmark!  I see Uncle nosed out Clarkrl at the finish for Show. Must have been that extra tap of the whip. And now what for next week.  |
