Think I'll stick with OPK (long) again this week. Maybe stay a step ahead of the BenchMark once more.  |

Ok, I've been doing a bit of playing around for the last couple of days...to darn hot/humid to do much else...so I'm going to be playing with some "new to me" ones just to see what happens.
COTT, long
BTW, ya'al can laugh at what uncle said about my "market indicator", but believe it or not, many times it's just stupid stuff like that that really does have a small, short term effect! |

I got nothing this week. 2kids10horses got my pick the TQQQ THAT LOOKS GOOD THIS WEEK! Short week, not too much happening with individual stock quarterly reports, but a lot of economic data being released which could help TQQQ and S&P 500, but S&P is at an all time high, so I do not see it skyrocketing this week
My choices this week, Toll Brothers or Zumiez, and neither give me a thrill this week. I will go with Toll Brothers Inc, long, even though they are close to their yearly high right now. TOL, long |

OPK appears like it would like to take over the bottom rung, down again. On hindsight, would have made a nice short this week.  |

Guess OPK was not as bad as I thought it was today. Actually moved up a notch even while losing ground. Market is full of surprises!..
Looks as if kadee and uncle will see who can "nose it out" by Fridays close. Very close!.
Well, the NFL kicks off the new season tonight with Green Bay Packers/Seattle Seahawks! Should be interesting for football fans.

The BenchMark was a bit tough on you clarkrl, the horse needed an 1/4 inch longer nose. Congratulations to uncle for pulling away and closing fast today to Win.  kadee got another Place and damnot edged out the Benchmark to Show. Nice race, and now on the coming week as we draw ever nearer to the Ides of September. Will the mqarket behave?
And, thanks again to our track manager, clarkrl! Your efforts are appreciated!  |
