DCO (Short). Last week's run-up may not hold. Maybe another market down week in store?

McCormick &Company MKC I am torn on this one. Do not know whether to go long or short it It is almost in the middle of it yearly high and yearly low, and reports this week. The September report in the last three years has always led to a bad stock performance for the week. SO.... MKC, and go long. Hopefully I will not be dead last again this week. I do own 70 shares of it. If it disappoints this week, I am bailing out. Congratulations to last week's winners!

It should be interesting to see how many of us gapped down on the open today, and where we wind up at today.

Value Buy, ... I usually keep a skinny column on my hand done spread showing which ones open up from Friday's close, and which ones are down. ( just a simple up or down arrow ). No specifics, such as gaps. This week most opened down, except 2. Of the 10 entries, NIB (damnotagain) and NVTL (arch.) were the 2 that I noted that the Monday opening was higher than Friday's close. NIB by 8 cents; NVTL by a big penny..... Cheers.

On further review.....It was pointed out to me that Value Buy chose MKC instead of MCK. I should have never let Mr. Magoo fill in the spread sheet.

dna.....As long as DCOers keep more on the sell side, may be hard to catch. But, as "they" say, we have today and 3 more days to get through. Never can tell, the price may become attractive, "if" .................

uncle23 leapfrogs to the lead. ModE91 is second and architecto25 third. Six of nine are beating the benchmark. Rule 6 states I will use the opening prices on MSN. They have changed the site and it will no longer be convenient to use that source so at this time I am using Yahoo.

Microsoft has really effed up their home page and the business market site. They have idiots working there. I have used MSN since we had a computer with internet access. There new site is a joke, and business page is not half as good as it was. I could not even import all my data on dividend distributions from over the years. I really like the end of day updates showing all kinds of data and return. Now, not so much I thought they learned their lesson with the idiocy behind Bing, but I guess these idiots are really clueless

Overheard yesterday at the race track: "Was that another jet that flew by us so fast?" ....." No, the lettering on the saddle bags was CPRX ..... that was Uncle's horse" ..... He's so far ahead now, we might not see him again 'til they put the collar of roses on him ..... LOL .....Good morning, everyone.

If the market continues the down trend for two more days the "shorts" may look good at the finish line Friday afternoon. If not, bet there will be some changes. Have an eery feeling DCO is not going to fall much further, regardless.
