Since I bought some shares, will go with OPK (long) this week and hope for a positive week. www.finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=OPK www.opko.com/Steady insider buying by CEO. I bought with 2 point trade in mind; but, if CEO is correct, maybe a 1/2 year hold would be a better choice. If the drugs in process work out, could be a nice winner.  |

Well, I have a good idea why my pick is stumbling along; Apple reports earnings next week on Tuesday. Apple has a habit of stumbling around as if drunk in the week preceding earnings; time and again. |

DCO at the kiss of buy signal ( %K = 22.630 AND %D= 21.810): It will be wild and a great target of 31.10. The Beta is a very economic 1.05. Dow the long stretch with energy. 
JUST A THOUGHT,

The market is having a nice week, and this is all we can do ? Hubris is kicking us in the butt this week!
Anyone catching some of the interviews on CNBC this week? Some interesting talk in a relaxed setting where some really smart people are expressing their thoughts on the markets, and the Government and Fed policies. |

Well we had a Malaysian airliner shot down, Israel went bonkers invading the Gaza Strip at night over there, and we were only down 161 points on the Dow
Could have been a heck of a lot worse today. Today is a prime example why our stock picks are never a sure thing whether it is for week or a year. If someone had picked gold this week, they would still be under water for the week. Of course, tomorrow is another day. It could get really bad tomorrow. Or..........better. |

Here it is (almost noon Sat.). And I just now was able to click on for the race results. My computer guru that has worked on my computers for many years has got my new desktop on line and my laptop; but all is not completely repaired yet. I'll probably sit out next week's race |
