Now if CTCT can just hang on one more day.  It punched through the top channel line on th chart.  That often, brings at least a temporary halt to an advancing stock.  With luck, the breakout may continue a day or two.  Who knows, there may be a nice surprise coming to which we Main Street people are not privy.  

[kadee79]

Com'on Mod....round em' up and head em' out!

[ModE98]

kadee, thanks.  -rofl-From the early looks of things, not likely.  4-1/2 hours to go; can CTCT get wings

[ModE98]

Drat, down we go again this afternoon.   Things were looking too good to last.

[Ombud]

Up 4% this morning, now just 2% for the day. Slipping fast. Now under 2%

[clarkrl2]

kadee66 romps home with a double digit gain and this week's victory. ModE91 holds on for second and Ombud rallies to third place. Six of nine beat the benchmark.
