Thanks everyone for the thoughts! Strange week ahead. Christmas set in the middle of the week can make for a strange market this week.
I was going to go with APPL this week, but Blackberry had a huge run up Friday.
I think they might give a lot of it back this week. BBRY, short |

TTGT (long) Tech Target Inc. This company provides online content and brand advertising services. They have a network of 130 websites. Founded 9/14/1999. Headquartered in Newton, MA. 661 employees. Stock closed Friday at $7.03 (and it was a good bump).. ... up $.86 ( +13.94% ). So a high opening price would not help my horse in a 5day contest. Barchart's opinion is all green ( 100% buy ) MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE .................... |

Drat! Looked pretty smart yesterday when it was announced a big shot had sold a big stake in the company. Today, not so smart. Up 4% in regular trading today. Back to the bottom today.  |

I have got to give up the notion of picking winners by shorting them
Then again sometime when I go long I should have shorted them |
