As messy as the markets are this month, it is hard to make the good pick.
I am going to go with ULTA again this week.
There chart looks strong for the last year. They report later in the week, and if they beat estimates, it could be a winner. With markets as choppy as they are, they could still fall on good news.
Now if they miss, it will be a really bad pick this week.
Ulta Salon and Fragrance, inc.
ULTA, long

Thank you, but it was just one big guess this week. I just looked to see what certain ones had done the past week and went with how they had been going....in this case down! But there is a lot of week left, things can change in a heart beat in this market! |

Darn uncle, you are going to be hard to catch. You look lonesome way down there! It's rough when your horse turns around and bites you! Been there, done that. It happens.

clarkrl2 moves to the lead with one day to go. Value Buy is second but cosmetically speaking looks like the favorite for tomorrow. Ombud in third makes the trifecta all longs at this point. Six of eight are beating the benchmark.

I hope so. Like to see RAX in reverse, it seems "toppish". Of course, looks can be deceiving.  |

Nuts? It's totally insane.  In reality, the market is doing what it always has done, reacting to the buy/sell orders of investors. Perhaps we are being all driven "nuts" by wild swings with which we are currently being presented. Fully understanding these moves is somewhat difficult. |
