JPMORGAN (long) a strange one for me but I like the chart this morning. And I'm trying a bit of technical instead of financial analysis. That's why I like this thread ... it let's me explore with play money

I am thinking Jack in the Box will report good earnings this week.
It is showing a strong stock price but off it's recent highs, so might see a pop this week. As long as they do not suggest rising beef prices as headwinds, I think they will be ok.
JACK, long.

Looks like architeto's horse's tail is on fire.  My horse is erratic so for, up Monday, down Tuesday and up again today. Two days to go. Just think of the close race if kadee had gone long, and uncle had gone short! |

yes,.... & Arch is really as surprised ( & pleased ) at NHTC's performance as anyone. The graph did look good ... and perhaps I should keep my fingers crossed for 2 more days ... then I can say "It's been a great week" ...... |

One more day to go.... architecto's horse would have to collapse on the track for anyone to catch up. Place and Show seems still in contention. Good luck, all!

Congrats to Arch, Mod & Ty!
As for the insomnia.....try melatonin, found in the vitamin section of most stores. It will "let" you sleep, works about the same as having a turkey dinner!
VB, you beat me out. I thought sure I'd have a lock on the bottom!  |
