I seriously have no idea but want to play along so I'm picking MCK - McKesson long. I bought last week and hope I'm right. At least to beat QQQ
In fact my picks are currently so far off base that I'm rethinking my portfolio.

Ulta, One of my favorites, reports this week. I might crash and burn on it this week, but if they say they expect a strong holiday sales period, it might spike again this week. Then again, if they fail to beat expectations.......... Ulta salon cosmetics and fragrances, ULTA, let's go long.

Clark and m2w,... I use Scottrade; and own a few shares of CTIX. Scottrade shows the opening for the stock at $3.67
....evidently someone wanted it at the start of the day ....and was willing to pay for it...

Not sure I like that part of the game I have had shorts that gapped down big time on the open, then climb towards the Friday close, but would still close half way from the original gap down, and longs gap up on the open and trail off, just like today. It is never fun to see it. Sometimes you recover later in the week, sometimes not Then again this is real world pricing, although none of us here would actually buy our picks on a naked opening price in the actual markets......

Yes, I saw that. Supposedly up, based on the report Black Friday gun sales which were up tremendously. It might just hold most of the gain this week, but fall the next couple of weeks, but still a good pick this week!

Yes, I think the shoulder cams will perk up but with GroPro also in that play, once again thinking about when I should exit ... how 'short term' (new thought) should I go?  |
