ADXS (long) - Adavxis - positive earnings surprise, clinical development stage biotech based in NJ with only 20 employees. .. a real long shot for me. If the market gets spooked, a stock like this will tank. But I think we'll be on firmer ground

Ombud, hope your thought of "firmer ground" comes true next week, it sure has been "shaky" of late.

uncle, you and I are having a bad time in this very negative and sloppy market this week. Even the BenchMark is very low and we just cannot beat it.

I thought Ford would be a safe bet to at least stay even this week with the announcement of the aluminum pick up being named the pick up truck of the year. Wrong again. |

Ombud is close to a double digit return going into the last day. Disinfranchised Investor is second and kadee66 is third. The top three have good returns but even though five of eight are beating the benchmark everyone else is deep in the red. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | Ombud | L | ADXS | $11.21 | $12.33 | 9.99% | | D.

What a market! It just cannot find any legs to climb. I wonder if we are in a rolling correction which may save us from a big one later this year? With most foreign economies very shaky, perhaps soon the US market will be the one to benefit, slightly better prices to come. It is a troublesome world these days.

Ombud
You are riding a Small Cap, Small Dollar security this week. Small Caps have been seeing some benefit from the turmoil; so you might.
Then again AAPL could get a huge downdraft tomorrow on the heels of one "pros" call that AAPL probably will shear another 20%, before making a run at $115 per share.. Then again to that, AAPL could near as well shoot skyward tomorrow just to shaft those short it.. Not like I personally have feeling either way, I have "dancing shoes" on in AAPL that give me benefit either way it goes. |
