Hopefully it will get some "karma" later in the week.   |

Appreciate the welcome, but not today, uncle, unless the market swoons late before the close. But may get lower before week is done so there is always the possibility. Perhaps CPRX may suddenly reverse course and we meet in the middle. |

I was going to pick Apollo group as a short this week.
They just announced, and revenue was down but they announced cuts, and are up $5.60 a share.
I lucked out on this one by not picking it!
Same for Panera bread. I thought maybe go long.
Just announced and down 4 percent plus.
I consider it a winning week for me!
Now about LLY.........To be continued..........

Mod, look at the numbers today; Uncle's horse (CPRX) just showed us the best "Dead cat bounce" that I've seen in a long time. The basement seat, I've gotten use to it; don't want to give it up........ LOL I also noted, that you like #7. Feel lucky, huh?.........LOL

Clark, please recheck an item. Shouldn't 2kids 10horses be above the Benchmark; according to the percentages. I usually run the percentages thru shortly after the market closes. That's what flagged it for me.

An honor to beat the Benchmark. Six made it this week.
Good win, clarkrl, nice finish! D.I. had a nice Place, with uncle beating out VB by a neck for Show.
Now on to next week.... can the good market times continue to roll?  |
