Long UFCS (United Fire and Casualty - Insurance)
I'm not planning on buying anything in real life Tuesday morning but if I were I would consider this stock. It comes from the screen with an earnings beat in the most recent quarter and recent upward estimate revisions.

My pick for this week, F (Ford) PEG dropped below 1. Should I pull the trigger?? And I'm only hoping to not own the basement in the game

My choice this week is Navistar.
They report this week, and it should not be a pretty report, but I am going to go long with Navistar this week, against my better judgement.
NAV, long

Wow..!!....that was a good dart board I bought at that flea market. Should have bought the crystal ball, too. But it was cracked & dirty. I'll sell you'all a bridge, if you believe that..  Market opens in 5 hours....INSOMNIA. |

architecto25 retains the lead at the halfway point. Ombud has moved to second aboard her Ford Mustang. 2kids10horses has found stride and is third. Those three are the only players beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | architecto25 | L | MILL | $6.36 | $6.95 | 9.28% | | Ombud | L | F | $16.42 | $16.91 | 2.98% | | 2kids10horses | L | TQQQ | $80.34 | $82.29 | 2.43% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $76.09 | $76.71 | 0.81% | | Mod E | S | AEO | $14.59 | $14.66 | -0.48% | | uncle.23 | L | TSLA | $173.40 | $170.62 | -1.60% | | clarkrl2 | L | UFCS | $28.98 | $28.30 | -2.35% | | Value Buy | L | NAV | $34.79 | $33.07 | -4.94% |

Clark, my horse (MILL) & I want to sincerely thank you for storing jet fuel (JP4) in lieu of oats and carrots near the starting gates. MILL says it gives a much better "exhaust"......LOL....but he can't get to
Mach 1 (speed of sound) yet...& as my races sometimes go....he could end up in the cellar before the day is over.

Congratulations architecto, you did it again.! If this keeps on, you'll have to get an SEC sales license and go into the advisory business. Maybe a weekly newsletter? Another great week and Win for you. A nice Place for Ombud, and a close Show for 2&10, ahead of BenchMark. |
