uncle, once in a while strange things occur around here. You might have to reedit your profile to get it back, or perhaps it may reappear by the time you return from Mexico. Who knows?

Something happened to my post earlier tonight. I was choosing between several stocks, and now it is not there. Strange. Choices were: Pinnacle foods Red Robin Gourmet burgers Noodles & Co.
Other thoughts were Cree Canadian Solar
Pinnacle Foods could be a good one this week, just not good enough to win. NDLS reports this week. There six month trend is slowly downward. If they beat estimates, I believe they will pop. If meet or miss, big drop. Red Robin also reports this week. I expect they will beat on earnings, and have a positive pop. Canadian Solar intrigues me, but I never have any luck with solar stocks, so, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, RRGB, and go long.

Well, I saw the news this morning on Kinder Morgan, and wondered if that was good or bad news for the opening stock price.
RRGB did a huge pop on the opening this morning and drifted downward all day, putting me under water after day one. Makes me wonder about money managers. Were they thinking they had to get in at the opening today, based on earnings report later in the week? If they were doing this, they blew about 90 cents a share buying on the opening |
