Congrats to Ty, Clark & Ombud for last weeks performances!
Let's try BBRY, long....Blackberry, Inc.
I haven't watched anything that has been going on in the markets for quite some time now...so I'm just really, really guessing!
ETA....there is a method to my madness though  ....we have had homemade wild black berry cobbler this past week. DH picked the black berries in our woodsy area & I made the cobbler...crusts were made with 1/2 lard-1/2 Crisco. It would have been all lard except I have this BIG container of Crisco I need to use! |

Just woke up. Still groggy from a long weekend of watching the U.S. Open golf tournament, (it's great watching pro golfers struggle on a course) and then watching the Spurs dismantle the Heat last night. 
Kroger, KR, long, this week. |

If the market keeps up the pace, we may some good upside in many of these picks. Uncle and architecto are virtually neck and neck going into the far turn. Mighty close. Would expect some position changes nest two days. |

Unless EBAY has some super news to release today or tomorrow, it looks like the old plug will just be an also ran. But at least, hope to beat the BenchMark |

My horse galloped out of the gate this morning, but I doubt if he can catch up with the leaders. Got to hope for something to happen, but I really do not want any horse to come up lame
Leaving for the weekend, and do not anticipate internet service in the wilds of eastern Indiana. Taking the laptop, just in case anyway. Got to download the app to me cellphone pretty soon..... |

No hope for me. So on my last week of paper trading shorts I've decided to not do shorts in RL. That's the good thing about paper trading. Let's me learn if it's within my comfort zone
