Will stick with POT (Long) hoping for a rebound and a much better market, although the sell off may last through next week if oil and Europe don't behave better. Oh well, at least no real money at risk on this pick.  |

This is only one day, with four to go. Certain that some changes are coming before Friday's close.  The "Santa Rally" will start soon.  |

What a difference a day made!
VB, any idea what is going on with Rite Aid? I used to manage some of them. Took me awhile just to break even on some of their stock I bought back when I was working there!
And one pharmacy tech and the head pharmacist in the store here in my town, which I managed, for several years, just got arrested in late Nov. for both of them stealing drugs. But they don't seem to be connected, but they might have been covering for each other...don't know. They were both caught on video doing their deeds! So neither of them has much of a defense! And the pharmacist was extremely wealthy from inheritances anyway. He came from a long line of money....he & his brother each had their own "man servants" all the years they lived at home...nearly from birth! |

I have had them on my radar for the last three years, but was afraid to put my money where my mouth is  On vacations, I had been in several units over the years, and not really impressed with the outlets I saw. CVS and Walgreens were heads and shoulders above them. The stock has been so beaten down the last few years and I just felt if they had a good quarterly report, it might pop. Got lucky this week, but I still have to keep this horse on a gallup to the finish line. We are always a day away from a disaster on this race.

CONGRATULATIONS Value Buy (Win), kadee (Place), and Mod (Show). What a volatile week, and I suspect that will be
typical for sometime ....
