Advanced Micro Devices
AMD, will go long.
Probably should short it, but, price is pretty low now.
Might see a good bounce this week.
AMD long.

Short MSI (Motorola Solutions Inc. - Communications Equipment)
Same pick as last week. During the week S&P downgraded it from 3 stars down to 1 star (5 best and 1 worst). The S&P Fair value rank is 1B+/$49.50. They have an old technology and analyst have the long term growth estimate at 2% and an average target price of $63.25. Zacks has them rated as a 4 (on a scale of 1 best to 5 worst) with a growth rating of F and a value rating of F. The rumor last week was they had been shopping themselves to possible buyers and couldn't find one. I have no position in real life but I think this company has too many negatives. My own personal opinion is its value is around $31/share. |

I liked modE91's comment about Kadee lying low.
It is not for his stock pick.

Kadee, make note of the fact that Uncle23 and I also swapped places today. I'm going to blame it on just Poor Horse sense .... 3 more days; a lot can happen. |

I just looked at my notes for this week. I originally did not pick AMD. It was my second choice. Somehow I was in a hurry this week and entered the wrong horse. I just noticed it now. I am hoping since I was so dumb, it pops tomorrow and makes me look like I knew what I was doing.  |

Value Buy, .... could you share with us what your unofficial first choice was ? JBHT JB Hunt Transport Transport Services It was first on my list, with AMD second. I put it together Friday, and when I went to post, this weekend, I was in a hurry because I was in a " let's watch golf all weekend" mode for the Masters, did not think about the choice too much and when I posted I remembered AMD. AMD has been a stock I have been watching so it was just a quick mental error. DUH! AMD was up three cents in after hours, so I might bust a move on Thursday  |

As far as the markets, this was not a good day. Rough close. KEYS would have been a nice SHORT!

Congratulations, clarkrl for a good short pick to Win this week's contest. Only one to end on the + side. And to uncle, for closing just ahead of BenchMark to claim Place.
As for the rest of us, just a bum week in a tough market.
