Stock Pick of the Week: W. E. 3 Oct. 2014

[damnotagain]

Half way there!

[architecto25]

Who works at this zoo ..... commonly referred to as " the market " ?
Someone forgot to lock the bear's cages.

NYSE       21     [ 52 wk. highs ]
             260     [ 52 wk. lows  ]

at this time of the morning, no need to even mention the advances vs. declines
or the up volume vs. the down volume.  It would only prolong the insomnia.
Not even 4am yet here in SE Texas.

The point & figure (  Dow's Indust. Avg. ) had a quadruple breakdown yesterday.
" Keep the powder dry" has always been a famous market quote.

[damnotagain]

NIB - December contract down almost 1% this morning . 

London Cocoa contracts open down.

farmers lock in us $1600.00 tonne trying to cut down on smuggling.

see what happens , good luck all.

Are you starting to get the feeling that the "Pros" are prepping for one thing while telling everyone to do the other thing?

As the Boy Scout motto says:  "Be Prepared".  Only "the Shadow" knows what's going on behind the creaking door. 

[ModE98]

Oh,oh!  The market is now turning GREEN.  Will it hold?  Going to be some changes made today!

[Ombud]

BBRY is recovering

We do as well this is why We have been "Balancing Up" & getting "Liquid"; while still beating the boards with gusto.

Our current mix has well more cash than potential liabilities, enough so that even if the hammer came down on Our outstanding PUTS & the market fell apart; We would have roughly 3.5 Years worth of drawdowns available to use to pay bills. Seeing that We live on the extreme cheap that is a good thing.

The only luxury We have is cable TV; which if all goes to hell, We could cut that out of the mix which would save Us another $110.oo a month - which would then give us 4.25 years of available drawdowns..

[ModE98]

Dang, my horse just bit me!  He gets the whip tomorrow!   And, the market better cooperate, down a ton!

[clarkrl2]

ModE91 holds the lead going into the final day. damnotagain is a closer second and Ombud is making a big move in third. The shorts still control the payoff positions but seven of nine are beating the benchmark.

Up .40 today and still in first, what is going on?  Chart looks like it will go up tomorrow unless the market makes a big dive and carries DCO down with it. 

Bet either Ombud or damnotagain takes over the lead prior to Friday afternoon close.  And VB is well positioned should it be a strong recovery day.  There will be some changes made.

[Ombud]

Slated to go down on opening and then back up. These days I'm just happy beating benchmark

[damnotagain]

Cocoa- london up a few pounds , New York down almost 1% . Mixed bag of beans today.

Glad to see farmers lock in an even higher price at (US) $1750.00 per tonne. Around a 62% increase for them than last year. 

[Ombud]

Up 1.27% on open .... course that's only 12c in RL

Edit: now ^13c . On a brighter note my TWTR is going thru the roof

[ModE98]

DCO headed up again this morning.....oh please, just stay ahead of the BenchMark.  Will be new leaders today, don't kick up too much dust!

[ModE98]

These wild market swings are, as the King Of Siam would say. "a puzzlement".  Nice day for "longs"

[clarkrl2]

ModE91 hangs on for the win in this weeks contest. damnotagain is a close second and Ombud makes it a short trifecta. Six of nine beat the benchmark.

This close is hard to believe after a very big "up" day to close the week.  Thought the Shorts would fall away.   Was just hoping to hang on ahead the BenchMark.  It seems DCO was so far "down" early that nobody could catch up at the line.  A very interesting week it was!

Congratulations to damnotagain and Ombud for Place & Show.

[damnotagain]

Thanks mode91,congrats to you as well. Have a good weekend all.

[Ombud]

Congratulations to my fellow shorts: ModE98 & damnotagain. Now just need to think thru whether the downward trend is down or not ... still trying to eventually beat benchmark on the cumulative chart
