SLB had a bad day and it appears so did others. Should have picked it for last week. Oh well, the market looks a bit shaky, so would not be surprised to see some downward bias. I hope a DJIA chart "double top" is not forming; if so, a minor correction may be in the works. In fact, an 800-900 point pullback may just be "the pause that refreshes" for a good "buy" opportunity. (Just dreaming).

Thanks Mod. I had checked your stock price as well as Uncle around noon, and thought you were winning going away. My horse must have jumped ahead going around into the final turn. I consider it an honor to have five wins so far this year against some good thoroughbreds who know a thing or two about stocks!
And you never know......five wins might just be my total at the end of the year too I also like to look the following week at the stock pick of that's week's three leaders to see how their stock follows up. Sometimes the results are interesting, and one might think about trading them in real life on the second week.
Or short the heck out of them too.
Now on to next week. I am considering going after my old nemesis that makes me look like an idiot. Chipolte Mexican grill. I just cannot fathom the value of that one, and why it stays that high. I am always good for the basement on that one
Have to stay away from it........................ There has to be a dark horse out there somewhere with long odds for me.

Whatever move KBH made in the last hour was a good one, investors bought. SLB had slowed in the last few minutes. I like horses that finish fast! Agree, that finding such consistently can be an almost impossible challenge. A once in a while win is not too bad.
