With the current turbulant market (up. down, up, down, round and round), who knows what is next. It may prove an interesting week. Picking for a one week run, so it truly is a "guessing gsme".  |

They could have waited untill next week before giving NMBL a five star award.  Oh well, shorting can suddenly turn around and disappoint.... down we go. Yuk. Edit: 3.45 EDT: Love those that have the sense enough to sell in the afternoon. Chartists should take it down another 0.73 or more. Need more chartists to do there thing....sell, people, sell!   |

Value Buy, ....that was a nice strong chart on WGO ...(until today, that is)... I haven't watched WGO for a very long time. Used to own a few shares of it many years ago. Looks as if one of us will have the basement spot at tomorrow's close. |

Value Buy, ....that was a nice strong chart on WGO ...(until today, that is)... I haven't watched WGO for a very long time. Used to own a few shares of it many years ago. Looks as if one of us will have the basement spot at tomorrow's close. I expected a good pop, based on the economy and gasoline prices spurring a statement sales expectations being strong....... Of course we are now seeing oil prices spiking on Yemen, even though Iraq has been a cesspool for a year and not stopping the price slide. I see retail prices also spiked here in Florida, but do not know if that is because of springbreakers or the markets. I have not checked out what they said, as not payng attention to markets while down here. The cold beer goes down smoothly in the afternoon, making me not too interested in the details of the markets. Oh, and do not worrry about the bottom. I got you covered! |

Market appears that it would like to turn positive in the noon hour, but still nearly four hours to go. Who knows the way it has acted in the last few weeks. It may give a hint for action next week if we can get a green close. Time will tell.
