Go with LPTN (Long). Lpath, Inc. (Very risky) early stage biochemical development. biz.yahoo.com/e/140318/lptn10-k.html
Have no investment in this company... just a "wild" pick for the week.

Appears clarkrl is making his move, at least for Tuesday. Three more days to go, and who knows what this market may do.  |

I think architecto must have gone to the whip today, big time. He may even reached over a pulled PENN's tail as he went by. |

This is a week that is just chock full of surprises. Facebook posted awesome results, only to be blown out of the water by Apple fifteen minutes later, and yet, today, the markets were all over the place. Hard to figure out what direction we are heading, but financial quarterlies are still rather positive, over all. Sorry I missed the game this week. Easter Sunday was pretty busy for me, and I just simply missed posting.......
My portfolio is still down from it's earlier record high, but seems to be gaining ever so slowly. Strange thing is my stocks that are down one day, are up just as much the next and the ones that are up one day, are down about the same amount the next day, keeping the portfolio in the same place.
Lots of treading water in my portfolio right now. Could portend a breakout, or breakdown in stocks......
The high flying p/e stocks are really being churned by the funds right now |

 This was a tough week for most. Market was not well behaved.  A good spanking it deserves.
Congratulations to archtecto for being the one and only to honestly "survive" and win the darn-bloomin' course in 5 laps. 
I hope next week is much better  , but with the current world situation, it may prove worse before it is over.
Ombud, not a bad Place, all considered.  |
