I wanted to go with either Duke Energy or Nisource this week, but I am throwing caution to the wind, as I need a winner this week....Both should report good earnings this week, but are trading at high levels with potential rising interest rates, that could hurt them on any given day, so, Let's go long with Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings Inc. CCO, on the NYSE They are an outdoor advertising company |

Architecto, just looked at MAC on the track 3:30 pm EST and see has made a late run. Somebody must have given him a "hot shot". What a nice turnaround.  |
